Title: ProfileMedia: Acrylic, Pencil, Ink , Paper
This is a small profile sketch on paper which was one of several I sold on the weekends at the 77 flea market for about 5bucks each a couple of years ago. Perhaps you can guess who it is...

Its interesting to see how Brownsville now has Farmers Market, and how perhaps in comparison selling art at the 77 flea market may be frowned upon vs selling art at Farmers Market may sound like positive thing for the community.
Unfortunetly I have not had the ganas or the time off of work on a Saturday where I have woken early enough to go check out how the BMFA selling art during the period of 9am to 12pm. I will say I am interesting to see what is for sale "who out there pushing there art, chingandole" and at what prices, perhaps maybe it is an art collectors gold mine....
One thing I have not seen is advertisement for it, or heard of how it works and if perhaps if its open to all artist or only members of the BMFA. Do they take a percentage of the sale, who knows, certainly anyone truly interested should go check it out ?
I like the idea and do plan to make a visit, given that I done something similar at the pulga. It would be nice to also see something similar in the evenings for those people that are out and about interested in seeing some art and culture.
Not that I don't think some one would buy a $100 painting or $200 of art at 11am on a Saturday morning, which I know for a fact it can happen and in Brownsville....but something in the evening as an option sounds good to me and could resonate well since , there is not that many options for art and culture in the evenings on a every weekend bases......other than drinking or eating and or going to the movies. I will go check this out...
