Look Familiar? I Thought So…You Were Not Alone!
In reviewing the comments from yesterday’s story on Rosie, I noticed some conversations about drawing pictures of cameras and studios as kids, so…I thought we’d take a trip down memory lane. As it turns out, a lot of us that went into the field did this and here are over two dozen works of art from around the country. Enjoy and share! Oh, and add your pix too if you can find them! -Bobby Ellerbee
I most certainly did, too.

I did the same thing when I was a teenager, wish I still had the drawings
I am not nor was I ever an artist. Even though I’d always wanted to be in TV from a very young age, I never had the desire to draw TV cameras or studios like these.
Can the artist please tag themselves and the age they were when drawing?
I remember making clay models of cameras, mic booms and other studio equipment when I was a kid, but they certainly weren’t as well done as these drawings.
How cool is that?? Yep I was one of those that made a comment like that! I was memorized by those cameras. When I appeared on the Popeye Playhouse on WTVT in Tampa as a kid, I was more fascinated with the cameras than with the host, ha ha.
Love this! I did it, too. But I didn’t have the drawing talent displayed here.
All Are Great Drawings!
Wow. How enjoyable to see. I have 3 or 4 TV production drawings I sketched in the 1960s, but don’t know how to upload them. 🙁
So did I !!!
I used to do this, too.
Much more artistic and accurate than my early drawings, but I remember a similar passion beginning in the third grade.
