The Camden Market Free Art Man 2nd April 2026

We talked about the first interview in this video on the Black Ivory Podcast. My favourite interview so far, so much so, it was promoted to being the first interview despite, in chronological reality, being the last and was given it's own dedicated introduction. Thursday's isn't one of my advertised days to be doing The Camden Market Free Art Man, but as the weather has been so bad this year, I'm taking as many good weather days as I can. Storm Dave is on its way, but is only predicted to hit the north. London will hopefully be well clear of it, and I can get a full three day weekend at Camden Market. I left at 2.30pm today as my suitcase was looking empty and I'm eager to get the "Camden Text" series finished, photographed and uploaded. No real chance of the Camden Text's being ready for this weekend. I think they will be popular at Camden. Today was the first full day of having Blond Cards for sale at Maddarings. I just phoned Shelley and none have sold. If none sell this weekend it's back to the drawing board again.
