THE MISSION BEACH COASTER in Postcards 4

It took me days to do this. India Ink on good paper. 2 ½ feet by 2 feet.

Mission Beach Plunge. The back of an invitation to my show at Mile’s, 1983.

I got permission to sit on the top of the old Mission Beach Plunge building. Pen, ink, and paper taped to a drawing board, there I sat and worked in the sunshine on a far corner of the building. After a few days, it became apparent to me that I would never get it done before I had to begin work at an early hour. I brought my camera along. I made a panorama of the roller coaster, and long before Photoshop, I taped it all together with scotch tape.

Finishing the coaster drawing at home was much easier than perching on a gravel roof. It went into the show, and promptly sold to my mother the Architect.
