Boardwalk Bar part 5

 More drawings of people today.   I got up to the Studio in late morning, and found parking in the main lot in front.  Made my way to my space, cleared off the table, and got to work.  Since last time I have added several more people around the bar, modified a bunch that I had already started drawing, and fixed a few lines.  Also put in the clips that hold the fabric roof to the chain link fence in the deep background.  Slowly but surely, this is coming together.  Results of today's work can be seen below:

Although I do still plan to do a little more around the bar, right now my biggest concern is the space to the far right side of the block.  Nothing here yet, though there will eventually have to be.  I think I need to look at the original photograph again, see what was there in reality, as it may affect what I put there.

For music I went back to the alphabetical discs of my storage box.  Back when I had my rock/pop book in the Studio, I had a three page section (6 discs) devoted to the Beatles, which was a bunch of home burned copies I kept there, made from all the label produced discs I owned, including some of the first discs I ever bought.  One of the discs I burned was copies of two mid-period Beatles albums, Rubber Soul and Revolver, which both fit on one disc.  Some would consider them their two best albums.  I guess Molly thought so, because she ended up taking that disc, calling it a favorite of her daughters.  Back then blank discs were relatively cheap and easy to find, so I made another copy.  Unfortunately, that one also disappeared.  Probably Molly again (who else has access and cared about the albums)  This time I didn't replace it, just leaving that slot in my book empty. Then I moved and never set up my stereo system and the disc recorder, and then all the record stores and sections disappeared, and then I had my first hospital stay.  The rock/pop book came home so I had things to listen to, without a copy of my homemade Beatles disc.  Thanks to the internet and many devoted fans, I had access to all this music, but that was only at home.  However, today I was able to bring my two label produced discs with me and enjoy them in the Studio.  Excellent music to work by.
