I SHARED a Booth Space at Game On Expo... Here's What I Learned

Episode 5 of the weekly side quest series, sharing a table with my friend Kalei of Dorkish Shop! (and asking fellow artists about this topic at Game On Expo 2025)   / dork_ish   Sharing a table can be daunting, especially if you have never been to the convention you are planning to sell at. I took the opportunity to vend alongside my friend Kalei of Dorkish Shop at Game On Expo in Arizona, despite it being a five hour drive away. This experience was enriching because it was my (technically fourth but in the video I say) third time officially sharing a space with another artist/vendor! I got the chance to chat with a couple of my other vendor friends that happen to be at the same event, so that is why this episode is a little longer than usual. Regardless, I am thrilled to launch another one this Tuesday as we continue the weekly series into a few more... Turn on them notification bells, next Tuesday's vlog is taking place at UC Riverside's campus where we will be setting up a 10x10 space on campus.
