Business was slow when I stopped in to The Occasional Market today. I tried to stir things up by wheeling my sales cart out onto the sidewalk to do some drawing. There weren’t many window shoppers around, but there was a lot of activity to sketch at Katz Plaza.

The Occasional Market is set to open this Friday. The gallery is very organized for now, but the show will change as I arrive for occasional performances and other activities. Forty-eight pieces are now on view, including three 4′ x 5′ collage paintings, several pencil drawings, some smaller collage pieces, a wooden cart, three puppets, and small sculptures in metal ceramic and assemblage.
