👕What it takes to make products for my small business
a thread, from idea to selling based on my personal experience/process! (very long lol)
*for info purposes only, this won't work or apply to everyone
I was very much in the mood after my meltdown last week to edit the Otakon vlog!
Unfortunately it's a bit short because I got food poisoning after setup and didn't eat the entire weekend. I always enjoy seeing all the beautiful attendees on the East Coast!

My first time doing at con commissions! It was so hectic but honestly it really helped the time go by! Thank you everyone who commissioned me to draw their pets at Tekko!

@buncolored People who value your time, effort and craftsmanship are willing to pay. And if they're not willing to pay then it wasn't worth your effort. Especially when to do what you do requires your specific skillset that can't be replicated.
@buncolored 100000% you should stick to your gut and your rates!
I learned the hard way, when I was starting out and pricing my hourly rate so low that when the same company came back to me to ask for a more intensive merch design a few years later they were shocked by my new prices.
Got verbally harassed by @SouthwestAir desk agent while checking in my bags for apparently not having a "real ID" when my ID is in fact a real ID. Just because you aren't familiar with all the ID types from different states doesn't give you the ability to harass me. YOURE NOT TSA
I'm hyper hyper nervous for #animeexpo2025 😭 praying this year pays off or else I don't know how I might recover -- emotionally, physically, spiritually and all the -ally in the world.
