That’s its name. This beautiful plant we have in our family room. It was a joy to draw while trying out a new pen! Have a great weekend. Greg Betza ©2022

Here is a sheet of thumbnail sketches for a packaging project I worked on a few months ago. The package was to be covered in a pattern made of foliage, mainly tropical leaves. As is often the case in packaging, the final project took a different direction 🤷🏻♂️ Greg Betza ©2022

During the pandemic (the height of it) I was drawing all the time via zoom. Since things have calmed down I’ve done it less and less. Many reasons why, but that’s another story. Here is a drawing I found from a year or two ago while cleaning up my studio. Greg Betza ©2022

This caterpillar was hanging upside-down preparing for its metamorphosis. Even though everyone knows this happens, it is still almost unbelievable when you see it with your own eyes. Greg Betza ©2022

I made this drawing during the 3rd intermission of game 7 between the New York Rangers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. My son and I are Ranger fanatics and what I captured here (besides his height) is his attempt to relax before overtime began. Making this drawing was my attempt to take my mind off of […]

Friend’s of ours passed down one of these butterfly mesh houses where you can watch caterpillars DEVOUR milkweed and then finally transform into butterflies. My daughter loves butterflies so the timing is perfect. Overnight and this morning they began their transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis. Nature is amazing. Greg Betza ©2022

A friend’s mother passed away about 2 years ago and he gifted me her markers. She was an artist. This morning was the first time I used them. These flowers are for her. Greg Betza ©2022

I picked up a crappy, large red sharpie and made a drawing just to see how it would turn out. I’m pretty happy with it. Sometimes it’s good to just “use what you have” and get the drawing down…what do you have to lose? Greg Betza ©2022

I recently moved and have been exploring my new view. These trees are such a standout to me. Their color, perhaps from decay, just pops with the greenery behind. I finally had a moment to draw them. Greg Betza ©2022

I recently moved into a new studio and with that comes a new view. There are 3 palm trees (not sure which type yet) outside my window so I played a little today with different brushes and a bamboo pen. A lot I like about this drawing and a lot I don’t…on to the next! […]

These marker drawings are from a Destroyer concert in 2011. Funny I came across these today as I was just listening to his new album. I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone, but if you give them a chance and you get it, you can’t get enough. Greg Betza ©2022

This fellow was enjoying this holiday as so many others do. While I personally don’t know how I feel about the way people celebrate today, I do enjoy how happy today seems to make everyone. We all need that break, regardless of the reason, every now and then. Greg Betza ©2022

When you’re studying it’s interesting to see how you lay out your drawings on a page. In the absence of a predetermined plan design decisions are made during the process, as with this series of figures. Greg Betza ©2022

Down in Florida it feels like summer almost all of the time, however some trees do shed and regrow their leaves and/or flowers. Sitting in a parking lot last night I drew some of the palm trees and a crepe myrtle already in bloom. Greg Betza ©2022

For a variety of reasons I have not posted in quite awhile but I’m excited to be back. Here is a ballerina I created as part of a wine label project. Have a great day. Greg Betza ©2022
