A personal resume about #KaidanCon2025 (just one week late)!
I loved this convention and it was a pleasure to be there!
I tried a bit of a new booth setup that I quite liked. I also had the pleasure to do two commissions which I showed in the previous posts. I enjoyed the sexy waffles at the con. And last but not least, I think we put together a great stamp rally (picture is of our rally rewards which are slightly suggestive depictions of male characters).But…

I should mention that financially, the con was a total loss. I sold a lot of small stuff, mostly thanks to the stamp rally, but almost no comics (thanks to the people who DID buy a comic!) and wasn’t even able to cover the basic costs for going to the con (booth rent, train and hotel).
I don’t usually talk about this, but overall making comics has been a way for me to lose money in the past years, and I can only keep it up because I have a decently paying main job. -

Nevertheless, I just love writing my niche stories and going to conventions to connect with people and have them see my stuff too much to stop as long as I am able to. But maybe this puts some things into perspective for someone.
Thanks for reading!
