I should probably make a post on my experiences at Manifest (it's been two weeks already), but to be honest, I really can't be arsed. Although I enjoyed my trip to Melbourne to visit friends, the convention itself was kind of a let down. Sure, I met some cool people and learned some things, but for such a large, three day event, the results were rather pitiful.
Total Sales: 4 x bookmarks, 2 x bag tags, 4 x A5 prints, 10 x A4 prints, 3 x A3 prints, 4 x posters. That's even less than we we took at Avcon, let alone SMASH! where we sold twice as much. Very poor results indeed. Too much competition I think, considering we were in the traders hall with all the big company traders. And so many artists too... No one wants prints, they want the comic.
So rather than wallow in my failure at Manifest, I'm going to talk about something else. We spoke about Witchcraft in Anthropology recently, so I think I'll write something about that...

Dimi's Random Thought For The Day: Did you know that, in Azande society (in Africa), witchcraft is called "mangu" and is often inherited? It is concentrated in a small black, oval shaped bag in the small intestines and will emanate witchcraft when the witch in question has strong feelings of malice, envy, or hate (making witchcraft a mostly unconscious action).
