Weird Artist Habits #26-30

26.   Staring for uncomfortable periods of time.  You may or may not be the object of affection.  Neither be afraid nor too flattered.  They really want that bracelet you’re wearing.  They love how it reflects the light right into their retina.   

27. Inviting you to the studio to model. You should be flattered.  Your looks have sparked their interest.  For the male artist, it’s a boon to have a professional reason to look at naked women.  For the female artist, men may invite themselves to model. But when ladies give the invitation, a man swoons like Scarlett O’Hara inside.

28. Snapping pictures of minutia.  They whip out their camera phone and snap a picture of that dent on your car or dead leaf in a parking lot.  Should you ask, they’ll reply, “I’m doing a project on _______(fill in some art tripe)

 29. Befriends the local junk man.  You visit his store so often that ya’ll are on a first name basis.  He may even call you when he gets those newly cleaned animal skeletons you’ve been waiting for.

 30. Has an apron or smock. It may or may not be used
