Dec. 17th, 2019 12:39 amI floated the idea that I might want to sell pins at Escapade Con, but didn't want to be stuck at a booth all day. A shared booth situation might happen. Actually, with such a small con I am surprised that dealers hours are so long to start with.
I don't have many pin designs, but the ones I have got a lot of good responses in the Discord! So, I need to make a bunch more designs. I have a few in progress I need to prioritize completing. How many designs I can make in time depends on if a certain method will work. I am going to make a paper template, watercolor and ink it and see what happens if I photocopy that at Kinkos. If that turns out good then I can make a ton of new designs easy peasy. If the results aren't up to my standards and I need to make proper digital files, I won't have nearly as many done.
For digital art I've been a mess since I stopped using Illustrator. I can't use Abode because Abode is messing with paid, legal copies of their software that are the older, non-sub versions. I need Lightroom for work. I have a few programs like Sai and Manga Studio, but I've not gotten along well with either. That's why I recently did 60 or so tiny watercolor rainbows, and some gouache Ace flags and other things. I decided I'd rather do dozens of tiny paintings than make digital files to print.
So, we shall see. There is at least a solid chance that a high quality scan or copy of a watercolored template will work how I want. I am picky, but if it does turn out good I can suddenly ramp up pin making.
