Today was one of the more random meetings we've had, and trust me, we've sat down with plenty of weirdos. We met a couple guys who are opening a bar here in Barcelona. While visiting their construction site a few days ago, we were introduced to the artist painting a mural for them. Lee, being the good little networker she is, gave this little old man our card leading him to believe that we might be interested in purchasing his beautiful works.

So we met with him at the hostel today. He has a catalogue of his work, which strikes me as somewhat commercial seeing as you can order any piece you want. His claim was that it was a great investment, and he'd be famous some day. He seemed in good health, aside from one messed up ear (Van Gogh attempt?), so I don't think we can count on him dying and his value skyrocketing any time soon. I'm fairly certain his main objective was to get Lee to pose nude for him, which I thought was hilarious and couldn't help but encourage. Christmas present for Mom and Dad? Fortunately, we're getting pretty good at brushing people off, so we told him we'd give him a call in about 6 months if we were still interested.
