Both these dudes seemed really antsy to get off the train, from teh second they got on they seemed restless and ready to be at their destination. Two antsy dudes, one uptight looking like he was un used to riding in the company of Normos, and the other looked like he was just trying to get home to where the love was.

years ago i did these painting, and etching based on my memories of the paintings from the opening scenes of good times. Looking back on them they didnt really mimic them much beyond having a certain lanky quality to the bodies. At any rate i was reminded of them the other day and googled the crap out of them. Ah, ha, how could i forget It was Ernie Barnes, amazing. So i did some quick sketches of a few characters from the Sugar Shack (see below):
The plan was to develope them a bit more and maybe create a scene of some sort, but i got to the wall saturday and it was too nice to just do a piece so i decided to try out a few of the characters i sketched the night before.;
