In August I had a table at the Leeds Zine Fair, I didn't make too much money but it was a nice little experience. I feel like this is the only problem with nice fair's, there's not a lot of money to be made, so it's definitely a nice day out, but definitely not a career path. As well as stalls they had a riso printer set up, and people were allowed to draw a picture which was then riso printed into a zine!
The company was called footprint, I'll have to look into them more at a later date for when I graduate and need a good place to get my work printed!
I made these two Pupper designs that I turned into little sketchbooks, they sold relatively well, seeing as I didn't sell much in general. Looking back on these, I think they're pretty low quality, but I can see the potential in the Sad Pupper character, and I think I will make some more work featuring him in the future, maybe some more badges and stationary.
I think to make the quality of my work higher, when I'm working with bold, simple colours, I should use different techniques like papercut and gouache so that the work doesn't end up looking too flat.
