     Being an artist, I always have to find ways to get some perks, or some extra cash.
     Anyway, here is some sign work I did for a cafe...

     Then I did a napkin art painting for them...
     A couple of other napkins ended up on their cash register...
    





    
     People seem to like them, because they are based off of real events that happened in the cafe.

     Anyhow, this cafe has a very nice space for exhibiting art.  I'll never show there.  I was lined up to have two shows, and then they forgot about me, and they other people putting up art when I thought it was going to be my turn.

     Even if I sell one napkin art during a month, I usually outsell any artist on the wall, so f*** it.

     If I had high sales for my art after showing every day for five years on my table, I would be inclined to put my art up on the wall.
     I don't think anybody would buy more if it was up on the wall. 
     People at this cafe have no money, or the inclination to buy art.

     The management doesn't pay me well, unfortunately.  I feel bad for them.

     I do art for the cafe, because I like the joint.

     One time I made a sign for their holiday hours, and they gave me a dollar off on my coffee.  That is pathetic.  The sign took an hour to do.

     Sad, huh?
