I slept in today, and it was really good. I love my sleep. It is the only time I don't drink, smoke, or eat.
Anyway, it was another evening of napkin art at the bar last night. I had no sales. 'Zero. Zero'.
Anyhow, I will dig up some recent photos to show y'all what I've been up to.
This is a typical scene on my table, where I have toy animals, beer, paint, and a ton of napkin art. Some people look at it and think it is a complete and total mess. These kind of people never buy. Others who are more 'art-sensitive' look at the chaos and say, "Hey, there is a lot going on here."
A recent statement somebody said is, "The More You Look, The More You See". I love that. It is true.
A recent tragedy is that somebody stole my Toy Godzilla while I was having a cigarette. I haven't had too many problems with thievery in the bar, because most people are cool, but some jerk made the swiped. I hope something bad happens to him. That was one of my favorite toys on the table. He has been in many blog entries and videos, and it was cruel to steal him from me. Trucker.
This woman made a request for 'more evil clowns', so I've been trying to oblige her. It is a fun subject, so I don't mind at all. It is right up my alley.
Sales have been down lately, so all I can do is keep trying. A week ago a British guy bought twenty of them for a $100 sale. I was glad, because it means I can still get pretty good sales from time to time.
Ideally, I would love to make $100 every night. That would be incredible.
I would be living a pretty good life at that point.
Hopefully Blogger won't have trouble with this picture. Her breasts are covered with a pen, and she is wearing panties.
This painting was done on a newspaper page thirteen years ago.
Within a half hour of setting this out, it sold for $40. It was to a friend of a friend, so it was okay. In a gallery situation if this piece was framed, it could see for much more. The problem is not many people in San Francisco have money to buy art with. Most are scraping by as it is, just like me.
I am not sure, but one of my newspaper drawings may have been stolen. I brought five out the other night. One seems to be missing, unless I am mistaken.
Anyway, I will now have newspaper paintings out every night, because I can sell them for a lot more than the napkins.
They were all done in The Specs Life Drawing Class over ten years ago.
I don't know how I woke up to get to the bar after working the previous night.
Naked women is an astounding motivator, I have found. Plus, I was a lot younger.
Specs Bar always has interesting things written on the sandwich board outside. Unfortunately, a couple of the customers, people walking by, and homeless people hanging out in the alley like to alter the messages. The original message is always better.
I guess that is enough for today's napkin art entry.
Have a nice day, and wish me luck. I need it.
