It was another day at the cafe today, where hardly anyone noticed that I had two tables filled with art, and in full production.
     "I don't know how to break these people," I thought to myself.  "At the bar, they buy because they are drunk.  At the cafe, they ignore me.  Maybe it is the lighting."

     Anyway, I'm listening to 'Attack of The Clones' audiobook.  I want to hear all the bad dialogue between Annakin and Padme in book form.  It is truly terrible.  What was George thinking?  He needed some peer review on that one.

     I sold one of my favorite napkins last night, entitled 'Pigf***er.'  haha.  I don't know if Blogger would appreciate me putting that image here.  It depicts a dinosaur copulating with a pig.  I will have to post this on my 18 and up blog.  I wouldn't want to corrupt any young minds, though mine was completely corrupted by corporate advertising.

     I am sitting here drinking a beer at one in the afternoon.  It gets discouraging to go into the cafe day in and day out only to have little or nos response from people.
     Mostly my cafe time is dedicated to getting ready for the night.  I do touch-ups on my pieces.  Sometimes they get banged up a little when I carry them around on my bike.
     Today, I was trying to figure out how to make the paintings I had available for sale better.
     "You never know what people will like," I reminded myself inside my head.

     Meanwhile, I watched a 'Felix The Cat' cartoon from 1927 where Felix gets drunk, and his wife is waiting for him at home, pacing with a rolling pin, ready and anxious to hit him.

     I don't recommend anyone being an artist.  It is too hard.  There is little reward.  It is time consuming.  Your social contacts will vary.  In addition, if you are anything like me, you will have paint all over your clothes.

     Well, let's see if there are any pictures to post that would be interesting for me or the viewer...

     This painting sold, I can't remember for how much.  I did it on the spot.  I think I got $8 for it, haha.


    

     I've become interested in online selling recently simply out of necessity, and it is how the world works now.
     I'll never be able to have a decent living situation unless I start bringing in some serious bank.
     Anyway, I have sold stuff as a result of facebook.  It happened just by accident of me just normally posting pictures of my art.
     Then I found it easy to do chat with my customers.  Also easy was them sending ,me money, and me sending them the art, keeping in communication throughout the whole process.
     It also worked good because it was through friends, and people I know.
     So, it is good to get to know people.  Who lnows?  They may buy your art.
     People who don't like me much never buy my art, haha.  I have found this to be pretty much true.

     In addition, I like to sell to people I know because at least the artwork 'stays in the family'.

     Some people won't buy from me unless they see my art looking cool in somebody's house.  Then they say, "Hey, I want some art, too!"
     Humans are just like that sometimes.
