If we had to be a particular kind of Times Square vendor, we would pick "calligrapher" because you can lose yourself in the act of drawing, and the client goes away after placing the order so there is not the pressure of them looking on while you work.

For the name-painters, we wonder if the already-done names displayed on the stands are the most popular they can think of; i.e., "Ashley": if an Ashley comes along, they may just buy it thinking God put it there for them to see.

This page requires a 6.0+ browser for the pictures/text to display correctly. If you have an older version of Netscape, Explorer, or AOL, the text will appear cut off and the pictures distorted.

Site Tips: If you have Explorer or AOL (recent version), and a mouse with a scroll wheel, you should be able to move the mouse anywhere over the text at right and scroll it with the wheel, so you can still see the picture while reading.

Most of the pages have a large version of the main picture which you can make your wallpaper by first clicking on it to download, then right-clicking and choosing "Set as Background".
