I have renewed\u00a0respect for everyone who stands all day\u00a0at a job —\u00a0they\u00a0are the bees knees. \ud83d\ude0e As I’ve said before<\/a>, I joined this year’s Art Mart in Bonifacio Global City on a whim at my friend’s encouragement. Drawing is my first love, graphic design was a career choice. I figured that if I want to reboot my career as an illustrator, I need to get my work out there in the open. I didn’t know what to expect but I thought it would be a good chance to find out which of my products sell the best before I\u00a0place them for sale online, right?<\/p>\n

So I applied, slightly nervously because Arts at BGC had sooo many guidelines and requirements. Fortunately I passed but then I only had 14 days to prepare\u00a0before the actual day so those two weeks were spent in panic mode.<\/p>\n

My art prints have been ready for a while<\/a> but I had to make many more pieces of shrink plastic accessories to justify my being in a craft fair. I limited it to just 10-20 pieces per design so that I could handcraft each one with care and inspect them for durability.<\/p>\n
