Disneyland

Disneyland and the California Adventure

I left Hong Kong Sunday night 6 hours late due to heavy thunderstorms around the Pearl River basin. The flight to LAX was direct, so at least I didn’t have to make a connection after clearing US immigration or I

Bamboo on the Ponderosa

Refurbishment began today on Grizzly Gulch’s Bear Mountain. It was an interesting juxtaposition to see bamboo scaffolding going up around red rock, so I stopped to watch the workers tying off the bamboo and rigging while the park’s guest ate grilled

Jungle River Cruise

It’s getting warmer and the humidity has been above 85% long enough my sketchbooks are starting to curl. I need to draw as much as possible before it’s too uncomfortable to go outside during the day. I cranked out this sketch

Boom

I went to Toy Story Land today to draw, but I was not prepared for the explosion and energy that this land was based on. With only 45 minutes to draw I was a little overwhelmed. So I made a

Mystic Manor

It’s been cold and overcast for awhile now. But not so chilly that I can’t wear extra clothes and spending an hour at lunch drawing. Disneyland is not too crowded today, so I had a clear view of Mystic Manor. I even

Kung Hei Fat Choi from Bear Mountain

This is the 5th day of the new year. The park is a little crowded, but not so bad I couldn’t ?nd a place to sit and draw. Bear Mountain in Grizzly Gulch is one of my favorite places in

Jungle River Cruise, Hong Kong

Today was a beautiful day out, so I took time to wander over to Adventure Land at lunch. There were lots of tourists in the park as everyone is on holiday for Chinese New Year. I found a spot next

Comet Cafe and Clear Blue Skies

Took lunch time today to sit under the Orbitron and sketch the trees and space age landscaping. The sky was blue and clear as any sky on earth. There was a slight breeze and the temperature stayed steady at 16C.

Main Street, USA – Hong Kong, China

I managed to draw this sketch of Main Street, Hong Kong Disneyland during lunch today. I’ve set aside an hour every other Friday to draw. Now that the weather is not dangerously hot and humid enough to obscure the vision
