I participated as a vendor at the Dublin Comic Arts Festival in October 2026, presenting and selling a collection of self-designed merchandise, including zines, art prints, stickers and other illustrated products. This festival also marked the debut of my short comic, Birdie, which I independently produced and published.

In addition to developing the artwork and designing the products, I managed the printing and preparation of the merchandise, and created a cohesive stall display and custom business cards. The experience brought together illustration, independent publishing and print design, allowing me to present my work directly to an audience and explore the practical side of producing and selling self-published art.
