i think graphic design should be illegal. if you want people to read something they can read it in plain times new roman. if you wantthem to see a picture of something you can draw it with ballpoint pen on a napkin.

#me when i have to take product photos or update my website

Jeeeeesus christ do I hate product photography. I can either take a good quality photo, or a color accurate photo, or an aesthetic photo, but NEVER all three in the same shot

#hate hate hate anger anger anger

Okay so ARTIST group (fandom?) Of Tumblr. I've got a question for you.

I was at Sakura-con in Seattle this last weekend (the one that just happened) and as anyone who goes to conventions as just a con goer knows, Artist Alleys and Exhibitor Halls are the huge things besides the autographs and panels.

Anyway to my question. If you go to cons as an artist, how do you like to interact with the guests?

I try to comment on the art I see in each and every booth I come to. Obviously I can't buy from every single one. Believe me. I want to. I really do. But my funds are extremely limited (and still very limited on a good year).

So I do what I can.

I'm not an artist though in the physical sense. I'm a writer and a gamer. My writing is my art. But that doesn't always translate to physical art. But I can easily look at art and think... Oh I really really love the way this artist plays with shadows here. Or I love the way this one does eyes. Or ... So on

So I have gotten to the point where I will tell the artists. Many of them seemed very happy with me just talking about their art with them and what I love about it.

Can this be enough for some artists at conventions? Should I keep doing this or do you all not like it when someone does this?

I just want to be able to give more than just a quick once over and move on, you know? Let them know that their art and their time is appreciated even if I can't buy something.

Oh and I always take business cards too if I really really liked something because more often than not, they sell their art outside of conventions too. So that's another way I can maybe later get something from them when I actually CAN afford it.

So artists of Tumblr, is what I'm doing at cons something you guys would appreciate or would you rather I do what most everyone else does and just scan and go?

This is entirely a real inquiry. I want to make sure I'm respectful but still be able to let you all know, hey I see your art. I'm loving it. Please keep making the art.

(do reblog this if you like so I can get a good response from all fandom artists, not just the fandoms I'm intimate with)

#yes!!!! please interact!!!#especially if youre commenting on pieces of the work you like! or talking about the fandom you both are in #most artists will understand one person cant buy from every artist and are happy that people are even looking at their stuff #i mean i know I am!!#i would sat the only times when its not acceptable is like. commenting negatively on price or quality #(ie thats too expensive. i could make that. you can buy that on x website) at least within earshot of the artist #and generally dont bad talk artists to other artists #and if a crowd forms feel free to step aside and continue the convo but not being conscious of the crowds around you can harm sales #not to say dont talk to us!!! again please do!#just be mindful of where you are and whos around you #hell if you like the artist enough you can mention to the other customer like 'have you SEEN x print???'#TLDR YES talk to us! just be respectful (which you seem to be so 👍👍👍)
