Here is my work from today:

     Main table where I paint and keep my coffee.

     Secondary table, used mostly for display purposes.

     Here are both tables together.  The entire thing I call my 'Set-up'.

     Here is my main table at the end of a typical session.  Things change and get moved around.


     Basically, if I had to depend on coffee shop customers for sales, I'd be dead right now.  They never buy from me.

     Lucky for me, people from the bar buy from me.  Thank goodness for alcoholics. 

    

     I sold $60 worth of napkin art in the cafe today.  I was pretty happy.
     Then, I got ignored by most everybody else.
     The important lesson is to never give up.
     I have often thought of quitting my napkin art at the cafe because nobody cares, so I am glad that I don't give up.  Look what happened.  I sold a lot today, made some new friends, and they got me a lead to another place I can paint at. 
     Cool, huh?

     There was so much going on with the sale, that I forgot to take a picture of what they bought.  This is the only picture I took in the cafe today, haha.

     Let's see....I sold $35 worth last night, $5 in the cafe yesterday, and $20 the before that.  $60 which is a two day average of $30.  Even if I did that everyday, it would be $900 a month.
     Anyway, here are some recent photos of my napkin art...

     This photo is typical of my set-up at the bar at night.  I have twenty stacks of napkins, all dried, and ready to be sold.  People often go through multiple stacks to find the one they want.
     I have found that it is good to have a lot.  People like to have a choice.
     Plus, I never know what people will like, so my chances of a sale increase since they have a lot to choose from.

        This piece was recently installed into a bar.  I'm proud of this one, and I'm glad it is in a nice, permanent location.

     'The Larry Action Figure' is based off this professional panhandler in North Beach.

     Here is a typical display of my art in the cafe, where no one looks, and no one buys, because they don't have any money, nor class to even say hello.

     This one sold the other night.

  

     Di$ney.

     This is outside of the cafe on the curb.  I have my can of water there, and a toothbrush.  The napkin on the right is my palette, the one on the left is the first layer of a 'Jackson Pollock' type of action painting.  I dip the paintbrush in paint and water, and rub my finger along the bristles to create a splattering effect.

     This picture shows a 'Mona Lisa' napkin art in progress.

     These two girls came over to make fun of me, because I took a picture of the brunette's butt when she was sticking it out while leaning on the bar.

     Women aren't attracted to me anymore, if they ever were.  So, at this point, I just want their money.
