I made this drawing at EPCOT in Florida quite a while ago. This panoramic drawing shows the wonderful carnival actors that used to perform there. Bring them back!!! Greg Betza ©2018

Each weekend Studio 1482 will be featuring posts from the One Drawing A Day archives. Today’s post is by Dominick Santise, from back in 2016. It’s titled “Round and Round We Go.” #ODADarchive Came across a carousel sketch from many years ago. I remember the first time I ever drew a carousel—this very same one years […]

They played off of each other most of the night at the Society of Illustrators. The routine is the same, give the room equal face time, and try not to give one side two backsides of the head. Sometimes you benefit from your place in the room.—Dominick

Each weekend Studio 1482 will be featuring posts from the One Drawing A Day archives. Today’s post is by Dominick Santise, from back in 2016. It’s titled “Into the Crowd.” #ODADarchive Another Florida drawing from years back. I still remember my first time drawing down at the Magic Kingdom. The smells, the crowds—the newness of it […]

Each weekend Studio 1482 will be featuring posts from the One Drawing A Day archives. Today’s post is by Greg Betza, from back in 2016. It’s titled “Accordion.” #ODADarchive I made this drawing of performer, Natasha, at EPCOT in Florida a few years ago. The accordion was wonderfully odd in contrast with her flamboyant costume. […]

We were very impressed with the acrobats at the China pavilion in EPCOT. Here is a drawing of two of them inside a giant spinning metal double ring. Pen on paper. ~Despina

I made this thumbnail drawing many years ago at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. I’m going to be visiting Disney in a few weeks and I’m looking forward to some warm sunsets. Greg Betza ©2018

This past weekend I picked up a project from 13 years ago and started the next phase. As much as putting the project down many years ago has haunted me, I wish I could say life was better today and there was no need for this. But unfortunately what was warned about many years ago […]

Took an opportunity to merge two drawings into one…for curiosity’s sake. Who knows where it can lead? – Michele

So if I would have been asked, the wild dog on the safari I took this past summer at the Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World, I would have called it a hyena. Two things are important—I have taken this safari a few times in the past and I am surrounded by small things that love animals—I think […]

Yesterday I watched as the school kids, softball teams, marching bands, politicians, and cultural organizations walked in our towns yearly parade of spirit. Mixed in, and new to this years procession, was a local group fighting for their voices to be heard. Right or wrong, without speaking, they made more of an impression on the crowds gathered for our city’s annual celebration […]

The thought of a childhood without any fantasy just conjures up the most treacherous upbringing I could possibly imagine. I can’t say I had a Stranger Things obsession with monsters, I only dabbled in D&D for a very short period of time, but even though I rarely strayed too far from home when I was young, ten feet into […]

The rain was pouring down, as it often does; shelter was too far away, and the day was drawing to a close. Time spent looking for a better spot to make myself comfortable would have been wasted. Everything was soaked, not to dry until days after I returned home and laid out all the paper and supplies that I carried. Problems […]

No matter how many times I round the corner in the “African Safari,” knowing full well that the pachyderms will be in full view at any moment, I am always in awe of the beauty, size, and majesty of the elephants as they socialize with one another, marking their territory by gouging the earth and […]

The endless streams of people at Disney on a hot summers’ day in the Magic Kingdom. There was little relief from the heat, but it was great to be there with Veronica and Margaret and the Dalvero crew. So much great work from everyone. —Dominick

So much has changed about this park but one thing still holds true, Mickey and Walt stand in from of the most magical castle ever.—Dominick

I am forever being asked what the forecast for the day is and never have the answer. A long time ago I learned to always carry an umbrella—except of course on consecutive days of rain when I leave it drying off—so the added stress of what the day holds in terms of percipitation. I don’t […]
