View post →Another weekend, another show, another of my favorites. This time, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. Simply put, J is one of the most prolific songwriters and virtuoso guitarists of his generation. Last night it was just him and a guitar as he performed songs from his 30 year career at the Bowery Ballroom in New […]

View post →I made this drawing in Chania, Crete in the summer of 2009. According to my note, it is called the ‘Back Door Cafe‘, a rather pedestrian name for a place in such an amazing city. Greg Betza ©2014
View post →Sorry for the late post, but I spent the early part of the day at Brookdale Park, here in Bloomfield New Jersey. I was helping out a local ad agency promote the ‘value’ of this great park to its visitors. Along with a few other illustrators and students from Montclair State University, I was asked […]
View post →Sorry about the late post today, I was out late last night at the Replacements concert in Forest Hills, NY. It was their first appearance in New York in over 20 years! I’ve waited a long time to see them and they didn’t disappoint at all. In my opinion the show could not have been […]
View post →Had the chance to see Bob Mould the other night at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Bob has been around forever it seems and is somewhat of a living legend. First, as the singer of the influential band Hüsker Dü, and then with his second band Sugar, Bob has been making music for […]

View post →Here is a page from my sketchbook that I brought with me to Yankee Stadium last week. The pitcher is rookie Shane Greene and the wild swinger, Ichiro Suzuki. Enjoy your weekend! Greg Betza
View post →I spent Thursday at Yankee Stadium sitting close to, and drawing, outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. For those of you that don’t know, “Ichiro” is perhaps the greatest player ever to play both in Japan and the Major Leagues. And I just read yesterday that the Yankees have placed him on waivers (he is available for trade), […]
View post →While making this drawing I couldn’t help thinking about how I remember that hairstyle from at least 20 years ago. It’s amazing how styles just keep coming back over and over. And usually better the second or third time. © Greg Betza 2014
View post →I made this drawing with one thing in mind “marks”. Thank you to Van Gogh for the lesson. © Greg Betza 2014
View post →There has been a lot of talk about doing away with handsome cabs around New York’s Central Park, and while I would be sad to see another NYC icon fade, I do feel for the horses… -Despina
View post →I made this drawing in 2009 while on the island of Santorini. You’ll notice ship masts and buses in the background. We were all waiting for our ride off or onto the island…which, by the way, is one of the most naturally beautiful places I have ever visited. Click here for more drawings made on […]
View post →The Tour de France is back. I was there to witness the final stage in 2006. Here is a reportage drawing from that day on the Champs-Élysées. ©Greg Betza 2014
View post →Another piece from my yard. This is a potted “tree” with small flowers planted at its base. I used a combination of cut paper, ink and watercolor. ©Greg Betza 2014
