Bowsprite 
orange junk in the harbor, i presume? a float of extraterrestrial properties for the halloween parade? bowsprite . . . you leave me guessing!
Longtime lurker, who admires your artwork and envies your time on/in “the 6th burrough,” comes out of lurking to ask…
With all of the exhaust pipes capped, is there a big boom coming? Oh… It’s not what I thought it was?
chocolate cigars for everyone–thanks to Bob! good call! there is a boom in the picture (not shown–i’m working on it!) –how did you know?
Wow, a Desmi 250 floating oil skimmer, just like the coasties use in their Vessel of Opportunity program. I never go anywhere without mine.
*heh heh!*
oh, this is going to be a fun post…can’t wait to get to it!
Well, I haven’t the faintest, but gosh, it sure is a great drawing with vivid color.
I thought it was a hookah for three people. With jumper cables.
and boom!
Is this going to be a new theme for you? Looks like you’re taking a page from Joey’s beautiful industry book.
Very nice!
