Mystic Stripers Drawings At Mobile Carnival Museum

Last year, I was informed that The Mobile Carnival Museum would post a display of some of my past float design renderings juxtaposed along with photos of the finished (constructed and painted) product.
These drawings were commissioned by The Mystic Stripers Society and built by Steve Mussell's MIRTHCO, Inc. The parade rolled last Mardi Gras season.
Below are some pics of the matched sets, and the display:

A Few Mobile Mystics Floats

The Mobile Mystics celebrate their 25th Anniversary tonight, are parading right now-- as I type-- and, due to past computer issues, I was unable to save clear images of all of the float drawings.

Their theme is "Silver Anniversary", featuring silver-related subjects
