study sketches; research

Did some research for an environment I am doing. It's essentially for an underwater club that is Art Dec0 themed where you can sit in a tube and drink (or party) in the water in a bikini or trunks (or if it gets really wild, in the nude LOL) and the waitresses have to step from one circular step surrounded by water (like a stone-lily pad) to get across the bar. There is a band, a central bar with a waterfall/ fountain behind the bar (a play on that wonderful painting with the mirror behind the waitress) and other tables and the tubes, and a second floor. I have it sketched out and am working on bringing a sense of reality and solid visual style for the Art Dec0 part (I'm an Art Dec0 freak, as well as a B@uh@us freak so this was a no-brainer. I've also been studying Isl@mic geometric architecture, which I have been sort of fascinated with since I visited Seneg@l in college.
