June 24

Saturday was Star Wars Day at Legoland and much as anticipated, I drew a lot of Jedi's. There was an excess of people dressed in elaborate, authentic looking Star Wars costumes stationed close to the booth and were taking the attention away from my amazing drawin' skillz, but I managed to snag a few.

I drew this kid twice. Apparently they weren't satisfied with the one that I did earlier in the day. I didn't really like either one of them because the kid's head was really weird and small and I didn't know how to approach that.

Because I was looking to increase my sales, I decided that I would draw one more kid. It was like an hour after the park was closed and eventhough I should've told them no, I stayed and drew this last kid. I was very polite and talked to them for a long time about how I started drawing caricatures, etc. 20 minutes later, I finished...no matte, no frame, no tube, no tip...come on!!!

All in all, $600 in sales was pretty good considering I only draw once a week.

Peace.

Last week, I was totally sick. I was drawing for Billy and I seriously didn't want to be there...I ended up making over $600 in sales (the most of anyone drawing in the park) and made some fine masterpieces along the way. I brought my camera with me, but as I sat in the car upon my arrival to the park, I decided that I was too sick to draw well and that none of my sketches would be worthy of taking a picture of...I was wrong and now I have no documentation of those excellent drawings...I came back this week to a beautiful sunny day at KPT and I brought my camera in hopes of capturing a whole slew of masterpieces...It was extremely slow as far as getting customers to sit down, so not only were my sales down, but my confidence was down to. This lack of confidence led to some pretty sad images, but I am posting them never the less...enjoy...
