As of this writing, every major comics and anime convention in the US for the rest of March has been cancelled or postponed, and about half through April. Both this and the prospect of even stricter quarantines can be devastating to professional artists, most of whom are self-employed and many of whom rely on tabling events.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n<div align=\"center\">\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Anyone who thinks: &quot;oh but artists sell playmats\/prints\/stickers\/books online so events probably don&#39;t make a big difference&quot;<br><br>OOoooooh that is not correct.<br><br>Purchasing habits are W A Y different online than face-to-face.<\/p>&mdash; Noah Bradley (@noahbradley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noahbradley\/status\/1238520875223261184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 13, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u201cI still sell better on one Friday of a show than I have sold all year in my online store,\u201d adds fantasy artist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/najarianart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stephen Najarian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some overseas artists are in even direr straits. \u201cThe country is shut down to stop any further virus spread, so no conventions for me until further notice,\u201d says Irish convention artist\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thecoolbean.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeann Hamilton<\/a>. \u201cI'm set to lose \u20ac260* for accommodation alone.\u201d<\/span>\n\n<em><small>*US $290<\/small><\/em>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As stated above, online sales are no substitute for in-person, but they can hopefully provide enough income for groceries, even if you have to find another way to supplement it.

So in the hopes of mitigating even a little bit of the damage, I\u2019ve compiled a list of resources.<\/span>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Video events<\/span><\/h1>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last weekend with the cancellation of Seattle\u2019s Emerald City Comic Con, game studio <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vvspaceship.website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Very Very Spaceship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> hosted a three-day, 19-hour sales and donation drive for other jettisoned artists on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/vvspa\/videos?filter=archives&amp;sort=time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">their Twitch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

This may become a riskier proposition as quarantines affect more people\u2019s livelihoods and the markets become more saturated with artists asking for a dwindling pool of money, but you never know, a seed sown now could grow into a beautiful oak in time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I know it really sucks, but if you\u2019re a full-time artist, try to find a second source of income. If you find yourself booted from an arts or event job, for example, a lot of utility companies are putting a moratorium on bills and there\u2019s mounting pressure on landlords to forgive rent. If these work out, you might be able to live off unemployment until the used food is done being expelled into the rotary air circulator. And now more than ever, there\u2019s no shame in applying for EBT or aid so your survival needs are taken care of. Hopefully, this should buy you some time to either ride out the quarantine or find work-from-home employment, depending on how long it lasts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That employment doesn\u2019t have to be mechanical turking, rote coding, or something else that boring, though.
