I had a great time at Armageddon Auckland this weekend, and sold a heap of copies of The Mice and London Inferno. My zines, badges and prints didn’t do bad either, although I’m a soft touch and kept giving them away.
The photo is of a keen Batman fan who commissioned me to draw him in costume. This drawing took about 25 minutes.
Key lessons for me would be get contactless payment, draw more anime and manga characters, get on Discord, and not blow my takings on refreshments. Armageddon is a huge show and I think artists can thrive there. Several things that would help is drawing live, drawing characters to appeal across all ages, and having a range of prices.
