Art Shop Confidential

Art Shop this past weekend was great! It was my first show, and I sold a bunch of monsters.

Children were drawn like moths, and I'm way happy to send a cushy monster home with an age-appropriate child. But let's face it, I really make these things for... you know, me. Adults who like whimsy and strangeness.

A professor at Temple and his wife spent 15 minutes agonizing over which monster to take home, because they liked them ALL. One college girl kept circling back to the table every few minutes, watching from a distance until she swooped in and gave me her last dollar to buy one.

These are not just my target audience, these are my people. I feel a little bad charging them money.

I'm still gonna! But capitalism doesn't come naturally to me.
