Summary Sara is having problems finding a focus for her project required for her video arts class. When her professor, Mark Carter, sees the street chalk artist that Sara has been filming, the artist who only does copies of Jimmy Galson originals, Sara believes she has the focus of her piece as she learns that that seemingly grumpy homeless man is indeed Jimmy Galson. After much negotiating, Sara gets his permission to be her subject, he even heading up to Gibsons with her, where she provides him temporarily with a roof and lots of streets, chalk and tourists for him to continue doing his street art and collecting pocket change from passersby. Jimmy tells Sara and the others the reason why he stopped painting and only now creates temporary art: he is in an on-going feud with his agent, Maurice Dawson, who has first option on any work he creates. But Jimmy's continual grumpy behavior, even when Nick and Dana provide him with options in overcoming his legal issues, makes Sara think that there is another underlying reason for him dropping out of life, that reason which she believes is his last gallery showing three years ago being panned by the critics. Sara learns the real reason, one which she hopes he can overcome.
