Boardwalk Arcade part 11
Work on the block resumed at the Studio this afternoon. Started with pencil, redrawing the skeeball scoring holes. Not perfect, but at least more consistent. Also put in a little netting between lanes. Then it was time to get out the tools. I cut out the outer borders of both panels of the diptych. No problems, but I should probably sharpen the tools before I begin the real cutting.

The Skee Ball circles create a nice pattern in the top right section. I have a feeling this one is going to be full of great patterns (I can see some good stuff happening on the floor too).
Thanks for celebrating this aspect of Americana. It's coming along nicely.
In this series there is a conscious effort to use more areas of pattern than I usually do- something I see in a lot of Japanese prints.
Although I am basing the subjects of each print on the NJ boardwalk experience, the one major theme running through all my series work of the past 15 years is everyday life and the common man. An arcade is an arcade, wherever you find it.
