I made $0 last night, but I sure did spend all of my extra money on beer and food, haha.
I worked the cafe again today, as I do every day. People just sit there and stare at me, as I work.
They pretend like they don't see my art, but they look, because I see them looking.
Sometimes I stand outside and watch them as they walk by my table. They look.
They don't want to talk to me. Dealing with the artist is too much work for most people. Plus, I know they don't have any money in this particular cafe. They are poor.
On rare occasions, I have been asked in the cafe how much my napkin art is.
"Five bucks for each one," I say.
They have a look of shock and horror on their face, not being able to comprehend that a small piece of original art could be worth five measly dollars.
This is not true at the bar. A lot of people have no problem buying four of my napkin arts at a time for twenty bucks.
