First of all, the Forks was a great place to visit, we spent nearly all of our 2 days there shopping and experiencing the cool things going on there. Secondly, we happened to be there during an paint-a-thon featuring a local art college graduating class. The kids spent 24 hours creating art, and then sold their work in a huge auction. It was an amazing thing to witness as the Forks mall filled up with tons of people. The mall itself has great co-op like food shops, with a ton of variety from middle eastern food, fruit smoothies and bread. Everything we had was great.
Meanwhile, we ran into this artist who drew both me and Kelsey in about 90 seconds. We felt obligated to tip him, which is his basically his business plan. The drawing were rough and fun to see. His personality was very odd and more artistic than inviting, which scared off most people that walked by him. He did not talk much, but did enjoy posing for the camera.
And here he is, the Winnipeg portrait artist:
