Boardwalk Days part 36

 Nothing more I can do about the show upstairs, so for now it's time to work in my Studio downstairs, and I do have a block in progress.  That would be my latest boardwalk print.  I did some drawing on it last week, all I am going to do for now.  Today it was time to do some cutting.  Brought my good tools with me, along with a few discs from my rock/pop book.  Made a stop at the supermarket on the way up, to pick up a few non-perishables and to scout possibilities for tomorrow night's reception.  Then up to the Studio.  This time there was actually a space available (just the one, and I grabbed it), and went inside the building.  Maybe two more artists had hung work, but not Molly yet.  When I got down to our space I could see that Molly had been there and working on things, if not actually finished anything.  Maybe she worked out a deal with Jeanne to put art up soon, and since the show opens tomorrow, it will have to be soon.  

As for me, my wall looked as it did yesterday, so I was just there to work.  For music I put on a home burned disc of Shonen Knife, a collection of early songs, written about on this blog a few times, as far back as July of 2019.  It occurred to me today as I looked this up, that I have been writing about this disc for 5 years now, and it mostly came from American reissues I have owned since the early 1990's, before I even moved to Carbondale.  Then as now, good music to cut to.  

I started with the lower right corner of the block, and finished cutting the rest of Convention Hall, plus the recently drawn plants, the blocks of stone and dirt around them, and the bottom of the light pole.  Then the bits of boardwalk and sand that remained on that side.  Music still playing, I did a little bit on the other panel, such as the last piece of sky above the horizon of ocean, the bicycle and rider, and some more of that boardwalk.  This was the result:

At that point my disc ended, and while I had brought other things to play, I decided to end the session there, pack up, and go home.  I'm going back tomorrow, a few hours before the opening, and I can finish it then.  Printing can wait until next week.  As I left via the first floor main door I saw a few more people hanging work on the 1st floor.  I guess they also had a deal with Jeanne as well.  I do hope the walls are all filled by the time of the opening tomorrow night, but either way I know my stuff is done and on the wall.  On the way home, another stop to scout food possibilities, then home from there.
