    A friend of a friend draws furry art and got paid well for it. She used to attend small local cons about once a month and would set up a booth for her art. She was getting around $500-$2000 a month for it. Not bad for a side hustle.

      Nerds will pay for anything.

      Having worked the convention circuit for the past couple years, I’m not surprised. All it takes is one or two people with money to burn to make another person successful.

      An artist I’ve seen at other shows prices his canvas pieces in the high hundreds-low thousands, and people will pay for it.

      Hell, my brother makes costumes (for cosplay and production) and he sells his stuff for thousands. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into it of course.
