Judson,
Do you have practice doing this? I assume you do because you say you are ready to market yourself. If so, I suggest either getting a space at a festival or any public market and just start doing it. I spend a good portion of my summer doing this same thing, only I take 30 minutes and do 8 X 10 character sketches in oil. They are very popular, it is a very lucrative business and often I am commissioned to do a more formal portrait in the process.
All you have to do is just set up and start painting and have patience. Eventually word will get around.
I know someone who paints children's faces at the library for free. That too is a way to get known. If you have some portraits on display while you are doing your quick sketches, than that helps all the more.
Good luck on this endeavor. Its tons of fun!
Dianne
