It wasn&#8217;t long before she sold everything she brought. Her prices were very reasonable &#8211; the centerpiece figure was a troll-doll head on a business-suit body called &#8216;Mutant President&#8217; &#8211; and it was only $10. Her Dad was hanging out nearby in case she needed anything, but Annabelle had this mini-shop completely under control.<\/p>\n<p>A little charisma doesn&#8217;t hurt when hawking street art&#8230; and it helps when you&#8217;re totally adorable. I, like everyone who saw this setup, pretty much, had to buy something. I ended up taking home a bespectacled &#8216;Arthur&#8217; with an orange octopus body, and a flying fairy princess with the head of Oscar the Grouch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met a girl named Annabelle at the Oakland Art Murmur.
