PortCon Wrap Up

So PortCon has come and gone and it was fantastic! Hands down the best event I've ever participated in as a seller and the folks running the Artists' Alley were fantastic. How well did it go? I sold more in 3 days than I do in an average, non-holiday season, month. I count that as an overwhelming success and it was a lot of fun. I'm a huge geek so being around hundreds of fellow geeks and chatting about Cthulhu and Dr Who with people stopping by my table was fantastic. I'm definitely going to sign up for next year.

The down side? I was around hundreds of people for 3 days and people are walking germ factories. I've got a cold now.

PortCon this Weekend!

So the big weekend is almost here. I'll be in the Artists' Alley at PortCon bright and early Friday morning. If you are at the con, please stop by and say hi. I have a stack of 10% off coupons for my Etsy shop to anyone who buys something and since I have so many if you introduce yourself and tell me you read this blog entry I'll give you one too.

Speaking of my Etsy shop, since I'll be so busy at PortCon I'll be putting the shop in vacation mode Thursday night before bed and it will be back up by Monday, June 25.

Birthday Sale

Saturday, June 9th, is my 30th birthday. I might actually need to start acting like a grownup. Nah, that's no fun.I am however having a 10% off sale in the Etsy shop through the end of Sunday. If you are in the Portland, Maine, area stop by the Portland Flea-for-All on Sunday, June 10th, for 10% off in person.

Octopus in Kelp Forest Painting

If you follow the Noadi's Art Twitter feed or Facebook page I'm sure you've already seen it, for those who haven't however here's the new painting I just finished in watercolors. I'll have prints available in my Zazzle shop soon and eventually high quality art prints on Etsy as well.

We Have a Winner

The voting for the new jewelry line is now over and we have a surprise winner. There were a lot of write in options, including some great ideas that I may use sometime, and the winner was a twitter suggestion: Cephalobots. It won with more than double the votes of the runner up. Thank you to everyone who voted, I was pleasantly surprised by how many suggestions other than my original two (Technopods and Cyberpods).
