Giving my art away on the streets of Camden Market. I'll do another video and post specifically about the new series of Blurt, Steemit and Ecency crypto-social artworks I had at The Camden Market Free Art Man today.
12 inch vinyl records primed and hand painted in acrylic, then tied on to Advertism laden cardboard. One interviewee said she was passionate about upcycling. I should have mentioned the cardboard being upcycled from the streets. Mainly the streets of Camden Market in the 6pm-8pm window between local businesses putting their rubbish out and the Camden council bin collectors taking it away. The biggest contributing shop by far is Guitar Guitar, for which they have their own Blond Card. If the shop had a letterbox, they would have received one by now.
I also had a new series of Kozmic Records 12 inch vinyl which John, the owner, saw today when stopping by to chat. I gave him a small Kozmic Records Blond Card for his birthday the other week. It's currently up in his shop. The Kozmic Records Blond Card is my most popular artwork, apart from the Nirvana ones.
The mother of a Crewe Alexander football player took a Blond Card today. There was a repeat customer from Golders Green, near me, who makes surreal artwork herself. A guy from New York, who I advised look out for
There was a law student who does performance art. Alan, the legendary town crier briefly took a Blond Card. As is becoming more and more popular, a French tourist decided to answer the questions in French. A 52 year old dyslexic PhD student gave a moving interview about how art helped her after her son died. The last two interviews happened as I was packing up.
The first was a driving instructor who video interviewed me first for a film he and the lady he was with are making. In the interview I was asked a question about the Highway Code that if I got right, would net me £10 in prize money. I didn't know the answer and couldn't say now what the question was. I think it was "At what type of crossing can both a pedestrian and cyclist cross?" Apparently it's a Toucan Crossing. I've never heard of a Toucan Crossing and have held a full driving licence since 1995.
