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:

LaSHEs To Go On UNDERWATER FANTASEA

 The Order of La Shes, rained out last night, were scheduled to roll this evening with --appropriately-- a nautical theme of "Underwater Fantaseas", featuring floats designed by me and built by Craig Stephens and his crew at Carnival Artists.
Fittingly, it looks like it will be wet out during the parade. Wrap up!
The LaShes have quite a few 'permanent' floats, so this year there are eight 'theme' floats. Below are the commissioned design drawings:
