Welcome to Michael's
Scribble Picnic. This week's theme is 'Radio'. I decided to draw my old boombox which I still use to play CDs. It also has a radio and a cassette player built in. My piece is done on heavy white paper (8 1/2" x 11") using my blendable permanent markers. I outlined my boombox with a fine point black marker. Do you remember these old
boom boxes?. The younger generation may not even know what a cassette player is!

A lovely drawing Christine. Yes, the old cassette player... recording from the radio!
Cheers :D)
Beautiful drawing. I have one like that down in the cellar, can't bear to part with it! Hugs, Valerie
Oh gosh Christine...this brings back memories of the 80's...especially an event in Montreal called "Breakdance '84"!! Boomboxes always remind me of breakdancing! I had one, though it was a little Sony...but it had two cassette decks so I could record from tape to tape lol...great drawing and thanks for the memory!! :)
I have a 2000 year car right now and it still has only a cassette slot that doesn't work. I wanted to use it for an adapter for an MP3 player (as many use a dummy cassette to serve as a port) but it doesn't do anything.
beautiful radio !! my mom wantd radio like this !
Love this piece with all the details Christine, and the memories it brings back of the boombox' era - recalling the ones my kids had and my always yelling out, "turn that thing down".
Happy day - Mary
great drawing from the radio I still have such a stand here!
Happy evening, Elke
Oh, very well done! So cute. It brings back memories from my youth :)
Oh yes, had one of these myself, recognized it right away. Great job on all those details.
I'm sure we have an old boom box somewhere tucked away. I'm married to a semi-pack-rat. LOL
Great take on the theme, Christine...nicely detailed! OH yes, I had one in my teens and even later years...lots of happy memories.
Love.
It's wonderful! The details are great.
Old Boom Boxes ... they are relatively young to me. My kids both had them and my daughter still does. Old is the old cabinet radio ... you are younger than you think, Christine :)

Oh definitely remember those. Or the smaller ones with a radio and CD. I grew up with Andrea's cabinet radio - my sister still has it. Great picture.
Blessings,

Great drawing Christine. These radio-cassette players are a hot commodity now. The 30-somethings are looking for something to play all those old mix tapes on. Bet they would love yours.
Nicely drawn! We sold an old boombox at our garage sale recently.
Wonderfully done Christin!!!
Reminded me so many glorious memories related to my old radio
I love your sketches!
Very retro. Love the yellow.
Christine, so glad someone did a boombox but, wow, does it actually still work ...in terms of the radio that is? I can't believe you still play it!! OK, well, if it plays CDs is not as old as some that came out before those but nevertheless! As it is, we don;t even own CDs any more or VCRs. Everything is stored digitally on our phone or the cloud!
You littel rendition here is delightfully rendered. I like how you've placed it on the page, using the law of thirds to the T! Well done! great piece. Thank you for bringing to the picnic--it would be a lot easier to transport than some of those old radios...but does it have batteries too? :) Thank you as always for playing along with us on our co-op. you are the best!
It does take batteries, 4 size D's I had to check! Everything works, it was gently used I'd say!
