Found this one in an old sketchbook. I like the design and the structure of the clothes.

I can’t remember where i was heading, just that I had time to make a drawing as I waited to board. -Greg

I’ve been doing some work in New York City these last few weeks and have made a few drawings of the “happy” commuters. Here are two.

If you’d like to see more, check out my blog where there is a series of these drawings. -Greg Betza

Yesterday’s unseasonably cold weather reminded me of this drawing I made last year. It was an unseasonably warm day then, but I was standing on a patch of ice that had yet to melt and by the time I had made this drawing outside of the American Museum of Natural History, I was trembling. Suffering for art I suppose…

Enjoy this Veteran’s Day and remember all that have served and sacrificed.

Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.

Here is another watercolor created at the New York Botanical Garden.

Tailgating at a football game in 83° weather is such a treat for fans living in the North-East. Here’s a drawing of some people standing around eating and drinking in their shorts, flip-flops and of course football jerseys.

Had a chance to catch the ex-Pavement frontman last Sunday night at Webster Hall in NYC. I decided to break out the black paper and crayons for this one. I always enjoy working in this “reverse” way and I just felt like it captured the mood a bit better than black on white…however, I did make a few pen drawings as well. You can see the entire series of drawings on my blog www.gregbetza.com

This colored pencil drawing was made inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at the New York Botanical Garden. Have a visit this weekend, it’s wonderful.

This watercolor study was painted at the New York Botanical Garden. The gardens are one of my favorite places to work, a place where you can sit peacefully, surrounded by beauty. Have a great weekend.

This officer parked his bike and wrote a ticket…and luckily the ticket was not for me.

The Bowery Electric is a club on Manhattan’s lower east side. Last week I had a great time listening to a personal favorite, Tommy Stinson (& band). I’ll be posting more about this on my blog in a few days.

A drawing of a man waiting for his plane. This was done at the San Diego International Airport.

Have a good week.
