A lot of things blur at the amusement park... not the least of which is your vision. But amusement parks historically have blurred all sorts of lines. Rich and poor, young and old all seek the heady thrill of a rollercoaster.
The scrambler was one of my favorites. We would carefully arrange ourselves in line to make sure when we sat down, the biggest wouldn't crush the smallest, and you might end up pressed against someone you liked. You could blur those lines without questions.
Nice entry! It makes me dizzy just thinking about it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe SCRAMBLER!! I love the scrambler. Do they still have those?! Great piece...I think this is so original, and I love your dapper characters.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteThe Scarmbler is still a staple of carnivals, fairs and amusement parks across the land.
The dapper characters were inspired by my Grandfather's stories of when he was young and you didn't really have the same level of physical contact with the opposite sex. He used to be afraid of roller coasters but would ride just them to hold a girl's hand. They always dresses so well and wore hats back then.
Lovely work Zelda!! This is such a nostalgic piece too. Plus I love her mustard hat! :)

ReplyDeleteI loved the Scrambler! It was one of the few that I wouldn't get sick on! I love the style of this. Those colors and lines are really nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks folkis! Thank you for all of your comments and kind words! I did have fun this one, nostalgia is great inspiration. Or it's an pain of an old wound if you talk to Don Draper. The scrambler has always been a ride near and dear to my heart. And like Loni, it's one of the few rides I wont get sick on ;)
