The summer's coming up for me in Chicago and I want to try my hand at busking during the week when I don't have classes. Things is, I don't sing or play an instrument (not portable ones anyway). What I do is draw, portraits, caricatures and the like. Probably not the most common form of busking and some might even disallow it the name, but I want to try it. I remember seeing an old guy in a wheelchair in the subway taking donations for drawing people, and a friend of mine recently posed the option to me. It'd be a great way to get out and see a bit more of the city, maybe meet some people while making some money, but most importantly, it'll put me in a place where it will force my art to grow. I understand that it still has to take on the form of a performance to attract much attention. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? It gets a bit more complicated, no matter how fast you are, when someone has to sit and wait for X amount of time rather then hearing you as they pass you by. I've seen a lot of good advice by the likes of Marion about busking in general, but not so much about street artists. I'd appreciate any tokens of wisdom.
