Join me at AnimeUSA this weekend, November 17-19, 2006, as I present programming geared toward one of my favorite hobbies–collecting and creating anime-style art. I’ll be speaking at two panels:

Anime Art Collecting – Friday 10pm
Come learn how to become a true collector of anime art. Topics include how to decide what to collect, where to go to grow your collection, how to find the best bargains on art at conventions, how to beat the competition at art shows and auctions, ways to display your collection, and how to store and preserve your most prized pieces.

How to Make Me Buy Your Art – Saturday 8:30am
This panel is for both beginner artists and veterans. You’ll hear tips for making the most of your convention appearances, maximizing your profits while minimizing your expenses, dealing with customers, and turning your art hobby into a full-fledged business. Bring some of your work with you and see if you can Make Me Buy Your Art!

You can expect the usual Punny-brand humor and a few bits of personal finance thrown in. Hope to see you there!
