Remember the Cartoon Guy? His name is Mark Mains, and he was one of the caricaturists at the county fair. I stopped in again to see him again and sketch his portrait.

It's nice to check in on him!
I don't think people appreciate how much work goes into running an art booth. It's a real feast or famine thing, and a lot of people go to fairs and will spend a lot of money on really crappy food and then scoff at the audacity of an artist charging a few bucks for a handmade piece of art or craft that took him/her an hour to make, not including the cost of materials, booth fee, years of practice, etc.
