Epic Universe.... I'm absolutely speechless. $6 Billion well spent. I could write novels about this place. Simply brilliant.

Earlier this year, I shared my hand-drawn Build-Out (and accompanying in-depth written walkthrough) of a dreamy, armchair-Imagineered version of Disney's Animal Kingdom. It's one of the projects I'm proudest of.

As a student studying architecture in Las Vegas (specifically to design theme parks) let me tell you, i could write a dissertation on how much i hate this, and the man that "created" this (he didnt create it, its all AI, he doesnt have a creative bone in his bloodline)

This absolutely wont be built
NEWS: A new theme park in Las Vegas, RetroEscapes, will transport guests into rides and lands inspired by the 1950s – 1990s.

Today, I'm learning how to 3d model parametric responsive shade structures in one class, which I am going to try to apply to an amphitheater that I'm designing for a different class.

The fact that this is what I get to do now will never get dull to me. Im so, so incredibly grateful.

A month and a half ago, I had to apply to get into the upper division for the bachelor's of Architecture. Whole 30 page portfolio, statement, content developed over 2 years, so much work.

TODAY I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!
100 Applicants and only 30 seats available! And I was in the first wave!!!

This project is so thoughtful and ambitious, while still remaining grounded and realistic. Absolutely amazing read, and incredible graphics (as always)
I don't think they'll open a fifth gate – maybe ever! – but if they do I imagine it would be "Islands of Adventure, but Disney" – IP lands around a central lagoon. I drafted what I think that would look like, so if you subtract TRON and Galaxy's Edge, maybe this! 😝 parklore.com/main/fantastic-worlds

I recognize this probs isn’t the platform for this, but, if anyone’s interested in supporting a queer artist!
I am releasing my first single “I Will Run” on May 10th! It’s pop punk/pop rock with retro 8-bit themes mixed together to make a rocked out escapism anthem 😁

I'm excited to share my newest nerdy, niche theme park storytelling & art project –LANDLINES! They're timelines... of parks' lands! I hope this gives us a new lens to "zoom out" and see the parks we love. #ParkLoreLandline

And here, I can share a link to the in-depth article! 🥳 buff.ly/a39Xu89!
