First convention of the year is over!
🕑 Added 2019-03-26 08:18:58 +0000 UTCAs you might have read, I was at LBM/MCC in Leipzig over the last couple of days.
And maybe you‘ve also heard me talk about how nervous I‘ve been about this one. It was the first convention for me that required me to invest over 1000€ just to be there. So the pressure was insanely high! The first day I was running on 3 hours of sleep and my body was aching like crazy. Even though everything was looking good after day one, I still woke up that night feeling nauseous and with a knot in my stomach. It’s weird when your mind should already know that everything is fine but your body is still like “nope, let’s stress out some more”.
But nonetheless it all was worth it. I met so many amazing people! Even some of you who support me on here!! It was so nice to finally meet you in person. 💛
I thoroughly enjoy doing conventions and I feel like I’m lucky because I love chatting with people and I’m a bit more on the extroverted side (ENFJ here :D). So I have the utmost respect for all my fellow introverted artists who put themselves out there for a couple of days, even though it’s really tough for them.
And I need to give a big thank you to the wonderful Lorena who visited during the convention and helped me out a ton at my booth.
We’ll both have our own table at Dokomi and I can’t wait! Are we going to see any of you there?

Thank you so much!! I‘d love to go to an American convention one day. Maybe in a few years. :)

Your booth looks great, I love the setup! Actually seeing this a week late because I was at WonderCon this past weekend myself. I can't imagine the logistics to do it, but it would be so awesome to see you down here at Comic Con or something one of these years!

Danke! Das Adrenalin hält einen immer irgendwie am Leben. :D Na dann hoffentlich nächstes Jahr. Bin auf jeden Fall wieder dabei.

Man sieht dir den Stress aber nicht an. Und ich hab's wieder nicht geschafft zur Buchmesse zu kommen, dabei wären das noch nicht mal zwei Stunden.
