My biggest convention + haul! ♡ Dokomi 2024

Let's talk about the Dokomi 2024!
My biggest convention of the year with months of preparations going into it!

If you like my art or small business content and want to see more cute stationary, fashion inspired by Japanese pop-culture or kawaii accessories, consider checking out my shop or find me on social media.

Thank you for watching my Dokomi Vlog. Here are a few more things I forgot to mention in the vlog + the handles of all Artist from my Dokomi Haul:

First: Sorry, that there is extremely little footage of us actually being at the convention. It was so busy that we honestly didn’t have the time to film nearly as much as we wanted to. My editor was at the convention as well and even she didn’t manage to film a lot.

Second: I decided against a cost breakdown for the Dokomi. Truth be told, I’m starting to make a lot more money at SOME conventions than I thought I ever would and I don’t want this to become a security problem in the future. Dokomi has faced theft at the AA last year and I don’t wanna put a target on myself.
I’m all for financial transparency in the small business space but I still struggle talking about it at the same time. I don’t want people to think I’m bragging or being upset that they don’t make the same amount. My business grew a lot over the past two years and it’s still “new” to me as well. On one hand I want to encourage and show that you can make a living off of it, on the other hand I feel almost “guilty” for making a lot of money. I hope that makes sense to anyone.

Third: Here are the handles for all the amazing artists I shopped at or who gifted me something at the convention (all handles are Instagram handles, I think).

hehe I'm glad you liked my AppleBun Pin <3
And yea the crowd at the big artist booths was an absolute nightmare on friday D: my friend and I had to give up and instead went through the artist alley from the back to the front ;;

Deine Booth sah wirklich toll aus und ich hab mich gefreut, dass ich cute BunBun schon von weitem gesehen habe :3
Es war dieses Jahr meine erste Dokomi und ich hatte nur Sonntag - und das reicht 0, soooo viele tolle Artists & Eindrücke *_*
Ich hab mich als random nicht getraut, bei all den Leuten an deiner Booth, "hi" zu sagen und wie toll ich deine Artjourney und Produkte finde! qxq Ich hoffe sehr, dass ich das nächstes Jahr nachholen kann :3 💚

Seeing the pins in the bag physically hurt me lmao

Ich war auch sooo überrascht von Freitag. Der hat sich wie ein Samstag angefühlt! Furchtbar, weil ich eigentlich extra drei Tage gehe, um am Freitag "in Ruhe" einkaufen zu können :/

Not sure if I can ask this but I’m thinking of hiring someone to help me on selling for my vendor booth at con since there are several cons that happen on the same time and I’m not sure how much should I pay for the helper in this case?
