Mardi Gras Magic

Well, another fine Carnival season is underway, so I thought you'd enjoy some 'float construction' pics to go along with some images of my float drawings! The artists and sculptors who 'make Mardi Gras' are some pretty talented folks, and here's a glimpse of some of the great work underway:

 These artisans work year-round to make sure these 'rolling tableaus' are up and running for each and every Mardi Gras parade!

LONG Summer, Little Time....

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I have been QUITE busy! (Day job, Mardi Gras, family issues, etc.)
I DID, however, make time to see "The Dark Knight Rises". I have mixed feelings about the movie. Some parts, I really liked. (Bane character, though rather physically smaller than I would have liked, was EXCELLENTLY portrayed!) I thought Catwoman was well-played, but just....'missing something'... I can't quite put my finger on.
Alfred was a weenie-whiney that I did not enjoy.
Less than a month 'til kickoff, though.
Roll Tide.
