Goal: Comic-Con Portugal 2020

Artist's Alley booth - Comic-Con Portugal

I am an aspiring self-taught illustrator, influenced by Japanese animation and alternative subcultures. My aim is to display my work at Comic-Con Portugal's Artist's Alley, preferably while it will still be held in Algés (Passeio Marítimo de Algés, Portugal). I don't know if it will be held there again afterwards, or if in 2021 it will return to Matosinhos.
I'd been able to collect close to half the amount needed to rent the spot during the day of the event, along with transportation costs. But given the news of the death of a family member, together  with the expenses that followed, the situation has become quite complicated, and I was forced to use that money.

I never intend to give up my passion, neither do I want to give up on this goal.

Any help is welcome, and if this dream comes true, I will be forever grateful.

Best regards,

About the author

Lúcia Botinas Martins, 32, introvert, music lover, pacifist. Unemployed for a very long time (since 2009), immersed in an incessant battle in a world that glorifies extroversion and apparently tosses authenticity aside.

Drawing has always been a passion, but recently it stopped being just a therapeutic hobby. I decided to become a self-taught freelance illustrator and take this love of mine even further. Influences: Manga / Anime, Gothic subculture, and music (Rock / Metal / Alternative).
