GenCon Art - How Many of Each?

[hwango]

Okay, last year I handed out 1 or more printouts to about 27 companies, so I figure I should take about 15 Hermit Crabs just in case it's wildly popular and half of the people want one. The Sock-Stealing Bird was claimed by only 5 people last year and was the most popular piece, so 15 should be more than enough Hermit Crabs. The question is, how many do I take of everything else? I know last year I misjudged the popularity of a lot of things (I ran out of Shark Hobgoblins!), so I'm sure I'll get something wrong this year and want to err on the side of caution to make sure I don't run out of anything again. Right now I'm leaning towards lots of samurai and the set of 4 Quest Cards (8-10 each), with smaller amounts of landscapes and critters (5-6 each). Also taking a few Cthulhu and Pirate Dragons, because I figure some people will get a kick out of those. Any predictions on what will go over well? = )

Bring your images on disc too so you have the option of running to a print shop and getting more stock!

Maybe next year you can burn some of those tiny CDs with some of your images on them. If someone really seems to like your work you can hand them a disc. It might not be too late to get them together but I'm not sure who carries them.

Yep, I plan to bring a CD again, just in case, but I don't want to bank on being able to walk to a Kinko's or something from my hotel.
