Pre-Anthrocon Stuffs

[balaa]

SO yes I will be at Anthrocon this year, providing I survive the trip to get there. I leave the house around 4 am weds and should be at the airport 6 amish..my plane leaves at noon and arrives in Pittsburg midnight weds-thurs.

I answer to: Balaa, Balaakins, Balaafluff, Ana or Anastasia..Please for the love of Alexander the Great do not call me Annie.

Do's:

Come say hi to me! I will be located in the Dealer's Den at table C-08 and bagheera will be sitting with me. Hopefully I won't be hugely shy at this con.. and if I met you before at conifur or FC please don't be alarmed if I don't remember you right away! My memory is not always great. SO feel free to introduce yourself and chances are I will remember you. To people I have met online but not in person..Pleaasee introduce yourself! Chances are I will recognize either your real name or your furry name :P.

Also do buy prints and commission me and Baggy!! I will be offering pencil toony/realism badges and a few spots for Post-con digital badges. I will also be offering sketchbook commissions as will Bagheera...so come hit us up :).

Lets see what else..don't take pictures of me unless I say it's ok. I tend to be very camera shy so if I dive under my table don't be alarmed, some poking, prodding and general annoying will bring me out (more likely than not XD).

Do invite me to breakfast/lunch/dinner/sketch parties/anything else!..I may be busy with something else but if I am not, I am always happy to hang out with new faces and get to know nice folks :).Please don't be offended if I decline, like I said I may be too busy, with commissions or other events.

DO offer meh coffee..Goodness knows I will need all I can to get through this. Patches prepare to have your Espresso machine lemauled.

If ya are an artist, do ask me for a sketch trade, I may not always have time but I'd actually like to get a chance to do more sketch trades at cons than I have at FC or Conifur.

DONT'S:

DON'T leave food or drinks on my table, I really don't want any accidents to happen. Also don't leave your things on my table unless its a sketchbook that you commissioned me for.

Please don't expect me to carry on lengthy convos..I really don't mind chatting but I may work at the same time. Don't take this as an insult, it doesn't mean I am ignoring ya in the least bit :).

Ehm don't scritch or pet me unless you are a very close friend. I am not a hugely touchy person so I may think it odd O_o. DO bug me for a hug before ya leave the con..I am getting better about hugs XD!

As for as don'ts go I think thats really it..any other don'ts are pretty obvious and need not be stated.

I hope I don't come off as scary or any such thing O_O;..if I am rude to ya..just prod me and tell me so. It is never my aim to treat anyone with disregard.

ART SHOW!

I will have roughly 20 pieces in the art show. Among those will be the originals for the Kennel Club project as well as a quite a few original pencil sketches, a few paintings and several limited edition large prints. Some of my work will be framed and I will ask winning buyers to pick up the glass after the art show closes at my dealer's table. Sorry about the inconvenicence
