Personally I think cash is better for all transactions and I make sure to bring change with me to comics shows. If you take the time to take out cash for a show people appreciate it, and we will collectively find change if its needed. It can also help you budget your spending. And if you really want to splruge for something there is always venmo? by @lalewestvind

I sold a couple pieces from my art show which means I could buy an incredible painted sculpture/sculptural painting by my friend @claesgabriel ! Claes' work came to mind a few times as I was painting my sculptures. His work features Haitian historical and mythic figures and imagined entities . I am so psyched to have a piece of Claes' work titled "Celestial Traveller". by @lalewestvind
