Article Transcript
As most of you know, I call Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure my home. I’ve been there for around thirteen years and in theme parks in general for fifteen years working under Fasen Arts. I remember thinking to myself once fellow NCN member Chris Galvin, the manager at Six Flags over Texas, gave me the job, “This will be a fun job for maybe a couple of months or so, but that’s all.” Boy was I wrong. Not only did I choose to make caricatures my career, but doing theme park caricatures is an even more specialized field. I never remember that one being a choice in my high school guidance counselor’s office. To say I’ve learned a lot over the years is like saying Tom Richmond is strong or that Roger Hurtado thinks he’s great. Theme park life and doing caricatures in a theme park is a lifestyle all its own, and presents unthinkable challenges, rewards, and human interaction you can’t find anywhere else. Come along with me as I attempt to explain some of the highs and lows of park life, how it differs from any other type of artistic career, and a few unbelievable stories thrown in.
