The Camden Market Free Art Man 17th May 2026

Made a quick start this morning. Four paintings given away before the display was fully set up, including the main sign which was the first to go. None of my new range of Free Art Frees Art A4 size paintings went, but two flag paintings did, which I was on the verge of giving up on. None had gone until today, then two people took one within a minute of each other.

Two paintings of Hive account@offgridlife were taken today, furthering The Camden Market Free Art Man promotion of the crypto-social sites I've recently joined. Today made three days in a row at Camden. I'm exhausted as it's ment early mornings and late nights getting the artwork done. Next week is forecast for hot weather so not likely to get much rest for a while, but this was what I was supposed to preparing for during last winter in Thailand. Had I done more small paintings in Thailand, I would be much better prepared. But this is my first full-on year doing FREE ART FREES ART so am using more for learning lessons that anything else. This winter the plan is to live poor in Korat for a few months and make thousands of Blond Cards. If I can get most of the cardboard cut, painted and the backs half-finished, 2027 should be pretty much Camden every day. Also between now and then, I'd like three things sorted out in particular:

1. Free storage space at Camden Market so I don't have to lug the display and artwork there and back every day on the bus.

2. Make artwork on the bridge between interviews.

3. Somewhere I can put the display up when it's raining.

NEWS JUST IN!!!! Mooney Ra Ra, my co Strawberry Cake has just told me that the man who took the Orio Blond Card was her friend's dad, that he was on his way to the birthday party they were all at together, and the Oreo cat we were talking about on the video, that we thought were two different cats, is the same cat! Mooney Ra Ra's cat! Here's some photos from today:
