Traffic Control

 

6/12/21 U-District farmers market

The same sax busker I sketched a couple of weeks ago at the U-District farmers market was there again on Saturday. Like last time, he was in the closed street just outside the market entrance, where the guy with the counter manages shopper traffic.

It’s harder to sketch at the market now because lingering is discouraged, and there’s no place to stand without getting in the way of shopper traffic flow. Busking is prohibited inside. Still, on a gorgeous morning, my shopping bag full of farm-fresh asparagus, strawberries and tomatoes, I was happy to sketch from the fringe.
