the responsibility of being in love.

 I went to a convention the other day, as an artist who finally released my first own original artbook with my artists's friend. We went with her husband too, helping us to pack and prepare things for the con. I can't help but notice the difference when she's with her husband or just me around her. And i think that's cute. Initially, I thought i would just come to the convention, selling my books, met people just like usual, and doing art trades with people.  I prepared almost 50+ pieces for art trade. Spending my entire weeks just to prepare it to give it for free.  But somehow, since the day when i prepared the book itself, so much hardships coming bit by bit, not only the hardships of the drawing itself, but also the financials, even health come in the way.  When I got my first buyer at con, the first thing that come to my mind is, "why'd they buy it".  Isn't that weird question if you are the one selling it? of course i can come up with the answers...
