Hey Simply,
My name is Robert Vega, i live in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. Ive been carving for a short while now seriously. Mostly stuff that people use, and occasionally caricatures, sculptures, and walking sticks... I used to do sketch portraits and caricatures, @ times square, union square, Highland park Brooklyn, Forrest park Queens, also, up and down Jamaica Ave. I stopped as the city parks dept started hassling me about my License and tax id. I went back and forth with the city. I gave up, because it was costing me too much to go back and forth with the city hassling me. I was never fined, just hassled. As if i was some outsider invading... Living here nearly 40 yrs. Even the hotdog vendor servicing both Highland and Forrest parks left... The neighborhood has really changed alot, and not for the better. At least the Carousel works! Anyhoo... Drop me a line and maybe we can even meet...
Sincerely, Rob V.(Lazy C.)
