Supermarket Battle part 3

This past week I ordered some new cans of ink.  Pulling a proof for the Belmar show confirmed what I had expected, I was just about out of ink.  In a related story, last week at school I had a former student ask me for information about where to get woodcut tools, so this week I had brought in the most recent catalog (same source as my ink purchase), found him on the 2nd floor, and went over the basics with him.  Sounds like he's developing some real interest in relief printing (as all art students should), so I hope he carries through his plan to get some quality gouges.  We have 6 more weeks left in the spring semester, so perhaps I'll hear something before school ends.  (Don't expect to have him as an official student any time soon, as he has already taken the one class I regularly teach these days, but it's a small art department these days and you eventually see everyone.)

Got word yesterday that my new ink had arrived, so that's got me thinking maybe I need to start working on a new project.  Had some time today, so I went up to the Studio for a little while.  Have spent time recently looking at my sketches of this Battle of Hastings idea, and my photocopies of the Bayeux Tapestry, and I think I know how to resolve this into my supermarket series.  It's all in my head right now, but I'll convert it to an official paper sketch soon, then start working on the block drawing.
