I got the better end of this deal!

Rachel, a precocious young lady in her coke bottle bifocals, had a plastic sleeve like those used to store baseball cards filled with her original artworks. The offer was this – for the mere price of a business card baring my artwork we could select a business card of hers. This piece was untitled but did have her name in both english and chinese characters on the back. Kyle chose it because of the faces on the feet!

What a great way to get a child engaged in an art fair and it made my weekend!
