There is a convention next April called Ai-Kon, and I'm planning on getting a booth in their Artist Alley. =] The problem is, I have nothing to sell! I want to play it safe and bring only fan art, but I don't know what's popular now. I need advice from frequent con-goers and artists as to what sells the most at cons. What would YOU buy? I've done a bit of research, and I've found that small inexpensive art ( buttons, postcard-size art) sells the most versus shirts and prints.

I say sell figuers and art.

Your body.

[quote]I want to play it safe and bring only fan art[/quote] Teecccchnically speaking, that's illegal. I mean, look at the late Carl Barks - he got into legal problems just for giving away fanart because the people whom he gifted it to later went on to sell it. :B

your soul.

Sell art, doh.

NO WAET. Sell legal advice. And marriage counceling.

Hello Kitty dildos!

Yeah and by 4 months at that.

[quote]Yeah and by 4 months at that.[/quote] they call me the quickster. The quickster is my name.

Hmm... Let me look into your gallery. You can get into legal issues with fanarts. But many original artists get popular just by their style. You can make color poster prints, buttons, or OMGOMGOMGOMGZOMGONGOMGOPG pencil boards!!!!! I love ORIGINAL pencil boards.

But draw beautiful women, one that represents each color. Doing a series encourages people to buy more. You can draw a girl for each season too. And this idea that I've always had and never implemented (due to my incompetence) is drawing tarot cards. Yes, tarot cards then gloss print them on heavy cards.

Chibi fanart art

YOU SHOULD SELL... uh...
