New Model

One workman carries a bedraggled woman down a flight of stairs while a second workman carries a fresh model up, set against a city skyline.

New Model (The Manifestation of Flop)

Floyd’s drawings were rarely explained, so we’ve no idea what connection this image has to the story of Flop, one of Floyd’s recurring characters. A simpler version of this concept is in his book; it may represent an earlier approach to the subject.

Working Musicians

Two "workmen" musicians, one with mandolin and one with violin/fiddle, perch on a tree limb high above a cityscape with mountains in the background. A steeple in the foreground bears a French tricolor flag. A third instrument, a cello or bass, leans against the trunk of the tree. The scene is framed by foliage (in black), and a bird's nest is snugged in a fork of one branch. The workmen are wearing white coveralls, yellow shirts, and blue hats and have pipes in their mouths.

Floyd’s workmen, which he dubbed “myfots,” are characters that appear in several drawings. In this untitled drawing, two of them appear to be taking a break to enjoy a small jam session high above the city.
