I thought you were going to say he wanted you to sketch him also standing on one leg Adebanji :-)

yep we have a singing one here in stoke...............i love the livelyness

Love the way you catch the moment.

Wow! I wish I could get a singing one! -Kay and Ruthy! No way James! Thanks Sylvia!

Not seen the singing one up (H)anley Ruthy - Ive seen the no worries guy (Dave?) and the jumpy happy chappy though! Yes Adebanji I think you would be in your element with the subjects we have in Stoke!

Great composition and attitude, The Big Issue series is going to be an interesting one. The seller who works on the high street in Stratford Upon Avon, my home, is often smarter dressed than the rest of us. I think good for him. I await the new additions.

love this series, & you are much braver than I am - I just could not work in public & all my victims are carefully chosen never to see what I've done to them. I look forward to seeing more of yours.

James, something might bring me to Stoke!- THE BIG ISSUE SELLER! Thanks Angela! Jenny, never be afraid, the beauty of stepping out is that you'll encourage many others!!!

Agree with all the above. Life in everything! A little fame for these lost souls.

I find them awfully sad; such a reflection of life in these times. This is a true piece of living history you are compiling

Thanks Jeannette and Diana-That's so true!
