Artfest countdown...
Well, I haven't had a spare moment to figure out exactly what goes on with the trades (let alone make anything to trade) and was planning on just being an observer this first time around. Then today I read Jackie Wood's blog and she mentioned that there were no rules to the trades and so I thought "Hey, then why don't I trade caricatures?".

So I made up this background souvenir sheet (and for an example put a drawing of a girl Carly that I drew yesterday) and am offering to draw any one's caricature for a trade. Obviously I won't be able to trade as quickly as the trading seems to happen but if at sometime during the 3.5 days of Artfest you would like your cartoon portrait drawn, then trade something with me...(they take about 5 minutes to draw).
