Good news! I got off the waitlist so I will be at Kumoricon this year table J10! I will appreciate anyone braving the great Portland war to visit.

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · 27d

As a Portland resident I can assure you it is beyond unnecessary and a waste of resources to send troops to my city. I am in downtown every day, I use the bus, the train, and i walk everywhere. There is nothing in the city going on that would require troops. Trump needs to be removed from office.

I am at FanX Salt Lake table A608! If you are looking for something specific from me I recommend dropping by soon because I did not bring a lot of certain things (limited funds from a slow con year and burnout just made it hard to be on top of restocking.)

I would love to visit New England! I love the PNW. Pretty much in the US I need to be in either the west coast or east coast.

Trump has been calling Portland Hell and threatening to send troops here but I don't know; Hell seems calm. There are a lot more trees in Hell than I would have expected.

My youngest cat is 4 today! I'd say we are celebrating by doing what she wants but she does what she wants everyday.

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · Sep 7

Yeah it's been a topic of conversation this whole year and it sucks to see fantastic artists and people who have been doing the con scene for years not sure what they are going to do.

Yeah I am doing terribly at Rose City and cons have genuinely not been my friend for the whole past year especially with the all the increases in table pricing and increases in everything.

I also feel like my location is weird because I am across from Wacom practically in the exhibit hall and not in the middle of AA like normal.

A few people have bought the keychain with my cats at RCCC. I apologize for any chaos they cause but no refunds. See me at A31!

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · Sep 5

All set up at Rose City Comic Con table A31! I am right next to the Wacom booth. Please drop by!

I will be at Rose City Comic Con tomorrow table A31! You will never find AI at my booth, ever. I spent the last week doing horrible sketches in an attempt to start a new painting and I will continue to do horrible sketches until my dying day.

Yep as someone in the convention scene this is a big problem in the artist community, with the addition of rising costs in general a lot of artists- if not already gone are going to be gone soon (I might be one of them.) Some things can't even legally be made in the US.

Anne Kirn @houseofdarkly.bsky.social · Aug 20

I don't I own how to explain how frantic every small biz/individual artist is about this. Nothing you use, touch, or appreciate was fully made here, all parts and tools made here. For small packages, you'll be hit by $80-200 in tariffs, if shipping is even available after Aug. 29.

Brianna Nicole Pail 🎃 @pailbn.bsky.social · Aug 20

Truly. I’m not sure if it’s even breaking through to the general public, but I have seen hundreds, no exaggeration, of notices from small business owners and artists in the US and abroad that they may need to shut down their stores and find new jobs because of the de minimum tariff chaos.

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · Aug 15

Lol I will save it for you.

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · Aug 15

I had to restock some keychains for this weekend and I accidentally brought a glitter one. I discontinued the glitter keychains because it didn't work well for double sided (overpowers the art too much.) BTW I am at Galaxycon San Jose lol

Con applications have become very stressful to keep up with. I know on their side it isn't easy either with so many cons getting overwhelmed with applications but it is a much happier thing for all if vendors at least get a chance. I have seen very popular cons do it so it is possible.

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · Aug 7

Getting everything packed up for Otakon... I should probably have uhhh said something on all my social media about going but I have been busy. I like to keep the cons I am going to a mystery I guess, will I be there? Will I not be there? Was I ever really there?

I replayed AC for a bit after my switch crash but I fell out of it again. AC is fun but limited. Stardew is pretty universally loved by those who like the genre. It took Harvest Moon and improved it. And now every chill game takes from Stardew.

Well a lot of us haven’t really played Animal Crossing since 2020 lol I love Stardew Valley! I love relaxing farming games in general but Stardew is top tier.

Have you played Stardew?

Sad thing is my brain was so not connecting I couldn’t even understand why I felt like crap and couldn’t draw.

Ann Marcellino @annmarcellino.bsky.social · Jul 25

Sometimes you’re excited to get some art done but then a migraine comes and the brain can’t do brain things anymore.
