A series of this size would eventually require a lot of wood. Many of my fellow 2D grads had pick-up trucks, and sometimes one of my friends would help me get plywood. But if no one was around I'd literally take matters into my own hands. The lumberyard was about 3 blocks from the studio building. If I couldn't get a ride, I'd pay for my 8'x4' sheet of lauan, then carry it down the street and up the stairs to my studio.
