How I spent Saturday.
 
Oh heck, I am going to lift and paste a post from another forum that I update with my pet portraits. The photos are links so they are in the text:

I took a day off from the dogs and did a guerrilla art project. My art league was doing a church bazaar and I COULD have printed up some cards, but I have done that so much and I have STACKS of unsold stuff, so I just wanted to try the humans again.
I set up a booth and a sign saying MODELS WANTED.

I made a sign up sheet that had someone every 20 minutes and I said I would only require them to sit still for 15 minutes, allow me to use it for my promotion and they COULD buy it if they wanted for $20. I sold two.
Here is one of the buyers:

I took an hour for lunch but BASICALLY was getting them down to 12 minutes.
This is the gang of cousins and a friend raising money for their school selling a dozen donuts for $6....

I won first place in the little art show, so my whole day got me $100! It was a great way to do a weekend!
