     Hello.  I won the final game of 'Magic The Gathering' last night, and during the game I sold $25 worth of napkin art.  I was happy.
     Yes, I sell napkin art to make a living.
     A woman who has known of me for over ten years was surprised to find out that I was making and selling napkin art.
     So, I have to assume that not everybody knows that I do this.




     Here is my set-up at the cafe today.
     Fortunately, they let me do my thing in the same way that the bar does.
     It is essential that I paint during the day so I can see what the hell is going on with my artwork.  When I paint at night in the bar, I can barely see what I am doing with those damn yellow lightbulbs they have in the sockets.

     Anyway, I was honored with two chalkboard writings from yesterday's bartender...

     It just goes to show that if you show up at a bar for sixteen years, you might get a sandwich board devoted to you.



  
     Otherwise, life has been good.  I've been going through a lot of Raineer Ale, and selling a lot of napkin art.  It is a good time.
     Meanwhile, at the cafe, everybody ignores me, and nobody even looks at my art, much less buys it.
     One thing has been proven.  Drunk people at a bar with spending money in a social situation will buy more art than sober, stuffy, self-absorbed, nose in the air laptop yuppies with no class.
     Why do you think they serve champagne and wine at art openings?  It facilitates sales.
