Live Drawing The 90th Academy Awards!

Capturing the people who make it happen

Below, are some of my drawings from Oscar week. It is always a priviledge to be here, and this will be my third year. I love story telling and admire the creativity of filmmaking in all aspects. It’s a joy to celebrate in drawings all of the many many people who make it happen.

First there was the rolling out of the red carpet, which is always a fun affair. The media (myself included) scramble to run and follow the carpet as it is being unfurled by three men, some of us running backwards, and some carrying huge equipment.

Then I was given access to the Dolby Theater, where they were in rehearsal. I will share my drawings of the set later, after the show.
