"one of those guys"

i'm pretty sure i'm going to start selling art on the streets - just for like 2 hours a week or something. people tried to buy my sketches when i was in rome, sitting on curbs sketching stuff around me. im pretty sure people thought i was italian - usually american tourists with terrible italian accents trying to 'speak my language.' i just smiled, 'pretending' i had no idea what they were saying - making them wonder if their grasp of the language was worse than they thought.

just sitting and painting on pieces of tiny bits of cardboard. if i sell nothing, fine. but just sitting there and painting and talking to people could be really fun. ive chatted with enough people who actually get by on it. and by no means would i want to 'get by' - i just want to try it out. hmmmm.
