The Camden Market Free Art Man 8th April 2026

Author: Jompiy May 31, 2026 Duration: 24:54
I didn't get the last art giveaway of the day on video because it happened on the bus home. A man read the front of my suitcase as I was carrying The Camden Market Free Art Man display on board and asked if he could have a free art work. He took a small one, a big one from the Camden Text series and a booklet. He's a local sculpter from Kentish Town. Today was quieter than the day before, I think becase it was so hot. The weather is about to change so it might be that I won't be back at Camden till next week. Another weekend missed, but it seems the week days are just as good. It gives me a chance to make another batch of Blond Cards, the flags with text in each language explaining that you're supposed to do an interview for an artwork, even though loads of people don't. The flag signage will also be a series of work so I'll be doing multiples of each. Also, while the weather is bad, I need to sort out my online shops. Nothing's selling and I have a lot of work I'm yet to upload. Then to catch up on my crypto socials.
