Specifically, it is the ONLY convention in Australia that ONLY allows independent artists, and the resources to support them.
Tables are free for artists, there's no competition with larger traders such as shops or anime distributors.
For the general public, there are also oodles of classes on drawing and how to create comics.How to spot Bootlegged Merchandise

Imported from Japan and sold directly to you without a middle man, they sell amazingly discounted Copic and IC manga products.
And not just a bit of them, we're talking several different types of paper, the refill bottles for your copic markers, and even some stuff that's just not available here from a bricks-n-window shop!Manifest - Melbourne Anime Festival

Pulp Faction is to all other forms of cartoon illustrating Australians as OzTAKU is to the manga crowd.
If you join OzTAKU, we recommend you join PF as well. It's filled with some great gossip, news and reviews about other comics and cartoons, and has some great resources that OzTAKU does not.
