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 a 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.
