EXTINCT EPCOT PAVILION SKETCH series. 

With Epcot currently changing from its 1980s roots, I felt like going down and sketching some of the pavilions that still existed in some form (Wonders of Life, Universe of Energy) and others that were completely gone using old photos (World of Motion, Horizons). It was nice and calming, sitting outside Wonders of Life-which had long lost its sign and DNA spiral-and reminiscing about being inside that building during its heyday. Universe of Energy was behind walls, getting ready for its Guardians of the Galaxy remake. While I usually sketch cartoons and colorful characters, I really enjoyed delving into basic illustration techniques and putting an emphasis on greenery and landscape.

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

The FCC has announced that they will end net neutrality on June 11. 

You can help stop them.  

The Senate is voting on a resolution to maintain a safe and open internet. Contact your reps—let them know you support net neutrality. This is it, Tumblr. Now is the time to act. Go, go, go!

In Imagineering, No Idea Ever Really Dies…

Pic 1: Legendary Imagineer Tony Baxter first used the concept of large, crystalline towers in his plans for Disneyland’s never-built Discovery Bay.

Pic 2: When that project was shelved, Baxter re-used the crystal motif in his plans for EPCOT Center’s Land Pavilion.

Pic 3: When The Land’s sponsor, Kraft, nixed that version, Baxter finally found the perfect place to put his sparkling super-structures – EPCOT’s Journey Into Imagination Pavilion!

Happy Easter !!

These are my sketches for a Kevin Smith theme park idea that was spawned after hearing a passing joke on Podcast: The Ride. I loved the concept of taking what is definitely not family friendly and making it into a theme park setting, and re-creating stuff from the films as theme park characters/places. Honestly, if it ever came to fruition, I’d be there opening day.

“Tomorrowland” Andrea Favilli, 1980s

Today’s piece is an overview of a proposed concept for what appears to be Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World. The area has been outfitted with a ton of foliage and a more naturalistic vibe compared to the standard Tomorrowland look. You can see that the Astro Orbiter is surrounded by a themed dome of sorts, while the bottom right shows off a more ancient-inspired subsection.

FAREWELL TERMINATOR 2 3D. One of my favorite attractions at Universal Studios Florida got replaced this year, and it seriously bummed me out that one of the last attractions from the 90s was shut down. However, nothing can replace the memories I have. I saw it the first year it opened, when the audience laughed so hard at every Arnold one liner. I’ve had the privilege of meeting a lot of cast and crew, and hearing stories. 20 year is nothing to snort at in the length of an attraction. So happy to have created this tribute!
