Selling portraits
Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 12:44 PM
I am so excited. I sold my first drawing today...on accident! I was sitting at Mannwell's today and I decided to draw this lady sitting by the brick wall. I was pretty sure she noticed me looking at her but she didn't say anything or start moving a lot or get flustered, which is what most people do when they notice some one is attempting to draw them. I drew for about ten minutes and then I was pretty satisfied. I wanted her name so I asked the owner of the cafe if she knew what the lady's name was. She said no but she picked up my drawing and said "Lets find out." She took the drawing over to the lady and discovered her name was Gail. I wrote her name down on the paper and then Gail asked me if I was an art student. I said no, and that I just liked to Draw. She asked me if I would like to get paid to draw and I said "Well yes-" She then asked me how much I wanted for the portrait of her. I started to stutter and she opened her wallet and produced a ten dollar bill. She said "How about ten dollars?" I said sure, okay! That was that, boom, I had just sold my first drawing!
Happiness!
As always,

As long as people are going to call you wicked anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention.
