As a three-year-old, Jonathan Dinetz had himself a ritual. It went like this: after each of his weekly indoor swimming lessons in San Bruno, he would get a donut, walk with his mother past a flight agency that displayed airplane models in its window and make his way towards the San Francisco International Airport.

“Then I’d go watch planes land,” sophomore Jonathan said. “We’d kind of sit in the shoulder of a freeway offramp and I’d just watch these huge aircraft flyers.”

He’s shrunk his drawings down over the years, he said, but each piece can take three weeks to a month if Jonathan works every couple days for a couple hours. The collective drawing from start to finish would probably be around 24 hours.
