I get artwork of my favorite characters, whether it be prints, bookmarks, keychains, buttons, or plushies! I've yet to come across anyone selling plushies though. :( And that's sad, because I collect those first and foremost! My favorite thing to collect, actually. I've seen some people on DA that make the plushies of characters and sell them at cons, but I'm never at the cons they are, it seems. Which is really sad, because I would definitely buy from them! I also enjoy looking at the original stuff that people make too. Some of it is downright cute, but I normally don't spend money on it unless it's too adorable to pass up. My husband rolls his eyes every time I stop to look. LOL!

Mostly I sell at the Artist Alley but when I get a chance to actually leave my booth, I tend to go looking at original manga/comics so I can see and read what others do. Sometimes I like to buy original art and also fanart is good too

Maaan I dont know about everyone else, I would choose Original Art prints over some of the dealer room ones. Artist are so cool that sometimes they even give you deals... how can you beat that!? Plus the mainstream prints and poster are starting to bore me.

As someone who Makes an original comic I like to support others who do the same. If I see a comic on an artist alley table I try to buy it. Fan art has to be VERY good to make me want to shell out money for it.....

I wish there was an "all the above" option for the original work. It depends on the factors. Price and quality for the original stuff. If it's from an artist I like and the prices are fair, then I'll buy their original stuff. I tend to go more for original work or well illustrated/painted work. I don't buy too much fanart unless it is quality work or clever. I'll do commissions depending on the quality, price, and the artist.

Original comics, but I'm quite picky about quality and subject matter.

posters, artbooks, and comics are my big love. I prefer them over the trinkety stuff, though most people like those best. I think its because I'm an artist so I want to see the art!
