so after a whole day at cosfest, got relaly tired but i had so much fun! im sure its one of those once in a lifetime experience kind of thing every new artist would want to experience. having people buy your works are soo.. exhilirating.
and i really dunno how i can stop myself from not going really XD
when i reach there i thought i was going to be late, i rushed all the way down like a mad fella with my big suitcase of stuffed plushies
then when i call potato, realise he was much later than me
so i waited till he finally came, then he insisted on dressing up as a goth so.. no comments on that really.
some of my few customers as shown above with happy products with new homes! it was really exciting like i said before to have someone pick up you piece and look at it and decide to buy it. even cooler when they have some sort of inner turmoil haha!
still i appreciate everyone for forking out the cash to buy my unworthy plushies .haha.
sales were really surprising, since i really didn't believe any, or much would be sold, yet my humungous bulgy suitcase turned into an empty case by the end of the 2 days! im so pleased :D
what was probably more amazing was the fact i got asked for contacts too! like in those buisness movie where someone passes u a card and asks for you website/email so they can contact you in the future to buy more products or stuff like that? well yea. not to mention he seems like a pretty high ranking personal.. haha all to boost my ego!
maybe i'll do plushie commisions in the future? the prospect is endless! haha i do think i would be trying to do some.. as long as i can accomplish them! my chilli for hilda seems pretty well received :D
the table i was at for the 2 days, my bag of plushies are below the table, and i kind of forgot to take a photo of themm soo.. sorry?!
the gang i had went along to sell with was the gekka gang. haha those are wad you call real con go-ers who actually have quality art unlike people like me who swindle their way in haha! but it was amazing, seriously i don't think i am capable of selling any art anymore! i shall stick to my plushie world domination plan.
*sew sew sew*
haha
and now for the people i managed to meet!
haha met..
KIDCHAN.
lol yeap! haha if you guys don't know her, shes basically this digital artist who came all the way from the far lands of penang ( i think ?) to small oh singapore for the once a year cosfest! haha she is rather famous and her works are amazing. i really like her colour choices in her work so i really cun help buy snag a few prints and got her artbook "muted colours"
her artworks can be seen here>http://kidchan.deviantart.com/
and some sample:
Alex in Wanderland by *kidchan on deviantART
children +coloured+ by *kidchan on deviantART
red and valentine by *kidchan on deviantARTi also got 2 hugs frm kidchan!!! haha you probably could just see me grinning with glee all day she gave me a print in return for me giving her oreo plushie! :D
haha
and she signed everything for me too! autographed goods are top priority!
plus hse is super friendly and amazing!
then i got to see
zemotion :D
basically shes a photographer based in singapore! and she quite famous too
she dropped out of RGS to pursue her goals, and that in it self is quite inspiring haha. i would never dare to take such a rash move! her photography:

The Haunting. by `zemotion on deviantART
shirotsuki. by `zemotion on deviantART
thereza went there and asked if she remembered her friend, so zemotion was like: " oh she came by like so many times until i rememebered her"
ahha i think i ended up doing the same so i think she rembs me now :D haha way cool!
then then then
toounit!
like omg wen i first saw him i was almost collapsing on theresa @_@
if you could'nt already tell toounit is my utmost idol, i think i did a feature of his work here before, so go check him out if you haven't. marker artwork king!
TOOUNITTTT!!
i couldn't stop saying "oh my godoh my god"
after which i proceeded to pick at his products and go on a buying spree!
there was a lucky draw kind of thing where you could find original art in one out of the 40 copies of "local god" folder he had. haha sadly i fell into the probability of 3/40 D: ahh the sadness of probability!
haha
but later on, next day i gave him that huge copic
then he thanked me by giving me ( well and potato XD)
ORIGINAL COPY. yes. a full original marker artwork. yes be jealous now!
i pretty much went kinda hysterical and went:" you are not serious o.o" i can't stop hugging it! its going on my wall the minute i get home!
haha although its an old work and probably not the best but the fact i have one of his originals already make me go hyper with happiness. how many people have a toounit original seriously! specially considering he sells his works my 200USD at a go.
haha i think he likes the copic plushie though :D im glad! :D
and i think he remembers me too cause when i asked him to sign another product ont he 2nd day he guessed my name corectly ( like form the day b4 how i asked him to sign etc)
haha then i have a matching miniature copic with his signature on it :D haha
so cool XD haha
it was suppose to be sold, but..im not selling it now D:
then i met alot of frens too :D
ahha potatos fren, ryan came to disturb him on both days even though he doesnt do art or anything like that. i guess the only link was that he sings japanese songs?
haha
but hes a really funny guy with a tendency to "dao pple" a fetish for cute girls with pony tails and ah beng face haha!
oh yea just found his youtube link
o.o http://www.youtube.com/user/rynwk haha
he also bought my tamago
he didnt have money at first, but after we seach high low and far for atm by the time we reach there.... out of order
we were like totally ugh D:
in the end he borrow frm potato and payed me first :D
example episodes at cosfest:
potato: *draw draw and pick up marker*" mmm so u think lei? (to me)"
me:" -some sort of response-"
ryan:" sticks copic minature plush right into the marker"
me" cont talking"
grace:* points to the damage*
me: o.o WTH HAPPEN??? WHO DRAW ONNNNNEEE *stares at potato*
potato:" NOT ME! RYAN STUCK IT ONTO THE MARKER!"

ahah she speaks wayyyy too softly though! can never hear her over the phone
and i met yuki on the first day!
on the second day me. cole, grace, potato and ryan went to eat lunch
then ryan didnt eat dinner and breakfast, so i guess he was hungry as hell and well guys bein guys, bought 2 plates of food ( how they finish i will never understand)
lol so anyway while we were eating we kept teasing potato and ryan tat they were gay couple
and quote ryan:" if we were a gay couple, he ( potato) would be the girly one"
i agree haha!
then after tat we were playing and laughing then after tat forgot y
potato pushed ryan
then ryan balance was la litle off so he collapse on the floor
all of us couldnt stop laughing !

after all letting them touch is the first step to buying :D (marketing strategy!)
after all letting them touch is the first step to buying :D (marketing strategy!)
after the end of the 2 days, i always felt so tired, but definately with a sense of satisfaction! haha
