On the weekend of days 7 and 8 (2 weeks or so), I attended
the first Artist's Alley of my life . I will tell you here why
I found the experience so cool, and at the same time, not so much .
I had already participated in Anime / Nerd events here in
the city (Bento Gonçalves), which is an interior and people are still slightly
more closed to these things (I thought). But as the public response
here to my work was very positive, I figured that in a larger event it would be
even better . You know nothing, Jon Snow.
I'll start by saying what was good about the event. Why,
despite my final criticisms, I loved having participated!And I might even say
that I intend to go again. But let's leave the conclusions to the end.
Great # 1: There are amazing artists very close to me
Yes! I met many incredible talented artists ,
with great initiatives and ideas, that are right here in RS and had never seen
anything about them. So regardless of any result, I met new art buds ,
more experienced people in the artistic life who shared many tips with me.
The first one was Camila Raposa , who had the
table right next to ours - yes, of course: I took my squire, Pauline (best
sister) to help me with that. Camila does some wonderful watercolors, and
is almost the human printer of the characters. She does everything so
beautiful and produces SO MUCH that I found it extremely positive to talk
to her about it.
Another artist I met there, with a job that I loved VERY,
went to Nanda Passos . In fact, I have already saved the
references for a future inspirational post.This post on Thiago Krening's Instagram
on the event, which I left here, is a great summary of the coolest things about
Artist's Alley.
At the end of Sunday, it was my favorite part of the whole
experience, in which we exchanged gear with one another. This contributed
very positively to my magnetic wall. Now it's getting wonderful:
Blank Infinity and Gabi's Jupiter now have these wonderful
prints of Carol and Nanda . I found it very wasteful
to stick the stickers somewhere, so I left Thiago , Camila and Capivarinha on
the mural as well. There are also the cards of Bruna and Jakie ,
which I found valid to use as decoration. Was not it beautiful? (I.e.
Great # 2: Many new people got to know my work
This, undoubtedly, was one of the best things, and I can
count on the finished goal. This contact with new people has already given
me great partnerships, as well as a very positive result after the event - I
was so happy with who scored me in the sotries with the prints! ♥
I was also very happy that Blank Infinity pleased so
many people . This, of course, brought me many new project ideas with
her, as well as other characters of mine that I still want to work on. As
for the audience that actually stopped at my desk and was interested in the
work, it was really a director for me.
Great # 3: These cosplays
The cosplayers are Liadan Soul (Super Sailor
Moon), Dryade (Venus) and Slyth Salaz (Pluto).
But what was so bad, then?
I think I can sum it up in one word: YOUTUBERS .
Yeah, and I'll explain.
It is undeniable that Youtubers are now the "new
celebrities" and that they attract crowds. I myself very much like to
follow channels of countless themes - from supernatural news to beauty tips,
going through, of course, the many artist channels I like. So what could
go wrong in inviting only Youtubers with over 5 million subscribers each?
The answer is: CONTEXT . In an event that is
defined as the largest GEEK event in southern Brazil, called ANIME XTREME,
we want to see what? Nerdices and Japanese culture, maybe? Everything
related to anime and series, maybe? Scribes and writers, yes or no? Yeah.
I identified only 2 voice actors at the event's
"line up," and they were still scheduled for a timetable that was
basically only the exhibitors and themselves on the spot (1pm). Most
of the guests I saw listed on the schedule were Youtubers I had never
heard of - and for an obvious reason. In a quick search on each of
them, I saw that some of them even were on the subject, like Haru and Satty. So,
we get into the final balance of official photographs, and what do we have?
