Here are some people I drew.  I wish I had more time to work on this one.

      One time, a man said, "You know there is band called that."
      Who cares?  I did it because of the phrase.

      'North Beach Squares' instead of 'Hollywood'.

     The soldiers are going to cook up some rooster.

     Some girls like to paint.

     When they see my set-up, some girls want to participate.

     Some insist on painting, and it is easier to let them paint, then to say 'no'. 

     They don't like 'no'.

     So then I am held hostage while they use my brushes and paint.

     Sometimes they come up with some interesting stuff, but it ain't my art.

     My internal programming still says, "If you want to draw and paint so much, bring your own materials."

      A nice woman brought me a home-made dinner one night to my art table.  It was fantastic.

     This napkin art came about because of some smoked almonds in a shot glass.  Then I asked the bartender if he would put some Old Crow in the same shot glass.  It was good.

Table Set-Up

      How and where I set up my table can make a big difference if I make any sales or not on any given night.

      I lay down two plastic table cloths.

 Then I start putting napkins on in an array.

 I space them out, and try and put down ones that are appealing.

 I continue until the whole table is filled.

 I see which ones look good in comparison to the others.

 I try to get a good mix of different ones, for the sake of variety.

 Then I start putting on the plastic animals.

 Even if they hate my art, at least they can like the animals.

 Everybody loves skulls.  How can you argue with a skull?

 There is Mr. Elephant.

 There is a baby's soft block with a rooster on top.

 There is a stupid rubber duck.

 Then, I put a wild boar there.

 Giraffe, skull, elephant.

 Rooster, duck, wild boar.

Wildebeast, whatever.

     It was on this night with this table set-up where some woman tried to secretly take a picture of my table.  I shoved my hand in front of her portable device.
     I had problems with her because she didn't ask.
     Then we got into a big argument, with me telling her to just go away.
     She contested me on certain points, like that I was in a public space.
     I told her it was polite to ask.
     Anyway, it went on for five minutes, and I realized she was a crazy lunatic with no manners.
     She claimed to be a professional photographer, too, and she didn't even have a decent camera.

     She was a nasty one.

     I hope to never see her again for as long as I live.

     People who bust my chops over nothing, and don't cough up any cash, can just go home and do things to themselves.  They are useless to me.

     I drew this portrait of these five women from NYC and LA, who had been friends for many years.
     They were pretty happy with the results.

     It was a 'no brainer' to come up with this one.

     I am still working on this one, but it is coming along.

     This will be a variation of a Jim Dine heart painting.  He is a famous artist that not too many people know of.  His paintings are in museums.

The 100th Napkin Art Post

     There are lots of different exterminator services in San Francisco, but none for poets, so I drew this one up.
     I am pretty exhausted with poets in general, especially the ones who don't write much and only go to the readings to pick up on chicks.  Also, poets don't have much money, which is really stupid.

    

     This dragonfly napkin art came out pretty good.  A nice lady bought this one.

'Frankenstein and Dracula Eating Cheese and Crackers at Specs'

    
                                       Dracula:          I prefer blood to tobasco.
                                       Frankenstein:  Grrrrrrr.

     This napkin art came about because the bartender showed me a book with a lot of classic monster stuff in it.
     Then, I looked up, and there was a big guy sitting with this creepy guy with slicked back hair. 
     They were excellent models for Frankenstein and Dracula.

Skinny Puppy

      I am trying to experiment with design recently, so I can get different results.

      But I really like to photograph toys interacting with the napkin art.  It is fun.

      'Skinny Puppy' is a punk rock band, but I'm not really too familiar with their music.  I know the name mostly from t-shirts, and I had a friend long ago who was into them.

      I ought to look up 'Skinny Puppy' on youtube, if I am not too lazy.

     Anyhow, I did this birthday card.  I ran out of white paint, so I did the best I could.  They liked it, so everything worked out okay.
