So...Etsy Dallas' "Jingle Bash 4" is quickly quickly approaching, and I'm getting a little nervous to be honest. It's the first time for me to represent the studio in an art/craft/trade/what-have-you show and I'm feeling a little unprepared. But, somehow, someway I'll get it all together, even if it's at the 25th hour.
What should you expect to see from Napkin Art Studios this year? Well, it's been quite a year for the studio producing prints and gig posters, so mostly you'll see a healthy assortment of said posters and prints, not to mention some small original works on canvas and other nick-knacks for the art fan in you.
Jingle Bash will essentially serve as a litmus test to see how this trade show business works, so please forgive me in advance if I don't look like I know what I'm doing, haha. (I honestly have no clue...) Rumor has it there will be a bar or three on site in case anyone gets a case of severed nerves, but I'm thinking it won't be as bad as I think. It's the sometimes 'Nervous Nelly' in me.
What else will be on display, you ask? Hrmmm...that is a good question. Essentially, I have three days to scrounge together a few other essentials, since stuff like this always seems to gel at the last minute for me. Napkin Art Studios' booth will be located in the middle of the market hall floor, just a tiny 6' x 8' booth for your art print and poster needs. I thought it would be better to have a small booth with too much stuff than a large booth with not enough. If Jingle Bash ends up being a total bust for the studio, at least I can take mental note for future reference, and see how other people's booths and goods are on display. Until I can grow the print studio end of things, this year's Jingle Bash may just be a nice detour from the regular deadline schedule I've been keeping, lately.
Wish me luck! I'll see everyone again after the show.
