The Camden Market Free Art Man 14th June 2026
Was back out doing The Camden Market Free Art Man today. Two sunny days in a row. The Crypto-Social artworks are starting to go now.
But first, the video intro says thanks to PrettyBitsNBobs who promoted THE CAMDEN MARKET FREE ART MAN on her Instagram soon after visiting the display and doing the "interview for an artwork". 99% of the time I don't get any feedback, at least not so soon and with such effort, so it's greatly appreciated when it happens.
Today was the debut appearance of Blond Magnums. So new, they're not on my blog yet. Here's three of Zombie:
See the interview in the YouTube video that starts around 35mins 52 secs, which I'll do a dedicated separate video about soon, as it's the most in depth we've gone into what the three crypto-social sites are that I've discovered through Ron Throop @ronthroop and am getting to learn about with a lot of help from @offgridlife also. Was a slow start at first, getting rid of this series of paintings but both an Ecency and a Steemit 12 inch LP were taken today. I don't think any Blurt ones have gone yet, which surprises me as I thought they'd be the most popular. So far the Ecency ones are the most popular. Here's two photos showing each of the three designs:

As Camden gets busier the videos get longer and the number of Blond Cards I'm going to need this year keeps going up. Last week I thought I'd need 2000 to see me through till November, but it's now looking more like 3000. Next year I won't have this problem as I'll paint them in Thailand during the winter months. Today's suitcase full of, mostly, Blond Cards:
The group of four musicians who each took an artwork 15 minutes into the video asked about my rings. I told them I got all but one of them from Shelley's shop at Camden Market on Makers Alley, called Maddarings. The problem is, it's hidden away and difficult to direct to. I have a series planned of paintings with text on saying "I get my rings from Maddarings at Camden Market at 620 Maker's Alley, near the Amy Winehouse statue, near Cyberdog" and a map showing exactly where to find it. Each painting will be of the rings I wear to Camden each weekend:
