MileHiCon Art Show Sales

back to MileHiCon home

The whole Art Show website crashed, and this is the one page we couldn't recover.  Until I can recreate it from scratch, here is a summary of recent sales.

Market Information : MileHiCon is a mid-size (~900 person) literary SF/fantasy convention.  We sell more pieces under $50 than over.  Good quality prints usually do well (presentation counts).  Portraits of SF media figures seldom do.  A sense of humor often helps.  Were not a big market for jewelry, anime, furry, or game related art, but we usually sell a few pieces.  Pieces are more likely to sell from the Art Show (display space) than the Print Shop.
