JOSEPH YAKOVETIC has an extensive career as a creative director, award winning designer, art director, innovator, fine artist, instructor, illustrator, sculptor, and performer. For over twenty-five years, he has worked with the Entertainment Industry in film, theatre, theme park and television.

Both artist and performer, Yakovetic travels around the globe with Mickey and Friends doing live Sketch Artist shows. As designer for Disneyland’s “Say Hello to Honda’s ASIMO,” show, Joe created the futuristic set, as well as the exciting theatre.

Trained in painting from Bill Yelland, former restorer of the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art, Joe has taken his training and skills to create fine art and sculptures for the Disney Galleries. By using hidden images and shadows, Joe brings to life elements of favorite Disney classic films. He has been dubbed, “Painter of Shadows” by Disney fans.

His painting toured the world and became a limited edition US Postage Stamp commemorating the film’s 70th Anniversary. The unique beauty of Yakovetic’s legacy has extended to other beloved classic films: Gone With The Wind and It’s A Wonderful Life.
