hello! I feel like I’ve been away for awhile, with all the IndieMart prep (and subsequent recovery!) This was my first craft show ever as a vendor, and it was ridiculously fun and a huge success.
Thanks to all my friends who came out to support me, the friends that they brought along, and all the attendees at the Indie Mart. A special thanks to Kelly and Monica, the organizers behind IndieMart, who recruited me and made the Indie Mart so awesome! The event went by so fast, mostly I think because our booth was busy almost the whole time.
I was excited to do an event like this but didn’t anticipate how fun it would be to actually interact with folks and see their reactions to my art. There was a lot of laughing and expressions of meat love. It was pretty gratifying, especially since I work in a bubble, and mostly just make things that get me or Steve to laugh. It was nice that other folks found me funny too.
It was also interesting to see which were the big sellers (“really fucking good pig“, “rainbow vomit“, and my brand spankin’ new “SF is for Carnivores” poster) and which ones surprisingly weren’t (the hot dog and artichoke heart, two of my favorites!)
And…. good news everyone! I’ll be participating in next month’s Indie Mart too – Sunday July 18th, same location!
next post …. lessons learned at my first craft show.
