I was out late the other night and came across these wonderful fellows on the subway. 1 passed out and the other exhibiting just as much energy. ©2014 Greg Betza
View post →So this week I flipped the ante’. I did little man’s portrait and then asked him to tell me how he felt about it with paint. Interestingly he avoided drawing over his face. I’ll gladly take that as a sign of approval. * On a side note, I’m TOTALLY lovin’ the expression in his line work. […]

View post →This is one of the drawings I made for the book, “SEX: An Erotic Journal for Sexual Inspiration and Exploration,” coming out this June. It’s a really fun book that couples can read and do some fun things together, including making drawings for their sex journals! Its published by Quiver and this is a link […]
View post →Yesterday my 2 year old son came home from a morning out with his Dad carrying a bouquet of flowers. As he proudly handed them to me he said “Mommy I bought you flowers. You love them??” It was the first bouquet he’s ever given me in his whole two years of life and a […]
View post →I don’t mind the cooler weather at all, nor a little rain (OK, a lot of rain, but it seems to have stopped)—the one great benefit of the strange weather is the strange weather. Weird grey fog rolling across the Hudson with pops of emerging greens and pink colors. A few of the thumbnails from […]
View post →Spent the day at the museum again. Got lost in a few projects, but found some inspiration as I was on my way out. I picked up a copy of and started reading Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt by John Burroughs. Two people I have always held in high regard.—Dominick
View post →One of Oliver’s absolute favorite books is Scuffy the Tugboat, a children’s book written by Gertrude Crampton and illustrated by Tibor Gergely.  This morning he asked his Nonna to help him make  a real life “Scuffy boat”, (see below). Painted these incredibly delicious blend of colors by my lil artiste I just couldn’t resist drawing it (on one of […]
View post →A quick thumbnail from my trip to the American Museum of Natural History last week with Despina.This is when I found out that the birds were inside.—Dominick
View post →I started this drawing, the parts in ink, at the AMNH in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda. I put the pad down for a moment and everything changed. I turned the pad around and found birds. Prehistoric birds. A nod to Teddy for reading all about his youthful observation. It must have had an impact because […]
View post →I loved this guy when I drew him. He had so much style. And plenty of attitude. But good attitude. Positive attitude. Proud attitude. —Dominick
View post →It will soon be April again and the CPDSA and friends will be out in full bloom skating and dancing to all their great DJ’s music! I can’t wait to see everybody in motion again in Central Park! They are a great group of people and athletes! Yay! Margaret Hurst
View post →My little guy was creatively playing with his watercolors yesterday. If you’ve ever spent time painting with a toddler you can whip through a sketchbook pretty quickly. There we were surrounded by pages of wet “interpretive” fine works of art sprinkled throughout the entire kitchen waiting to dry for the balance of the day. Saving […]
View post →A pen and ink drawing of a model with my ink bottle and a glass of water to add to the ink… if I choose! Dip pen and ink are one of my favorite mediums to draw with. You never know what’s going to happen when you use it, so it’s always a fun surprise…serendipity! […]
View post →This drawing was made over ten years ago down on the waterfront in Hoboken, NJ. There is a fairly large dock which is home to hundreds of boats all sandwiched together. I can’t imagine what it must be like to park one of them.
View post →A little art LIFE LESSON 101: Don’t ever let “the no paper excuse” ever slow you down. Above is a drawing (or two) done in the PlayBill at a recent concert in Lincoln Center. Did you know even Picasso, “the man himself” drew on toilet paper when he couldn’t find paper? Yep, desperate times call […]
View post →Samir trikes again! Looked at Picasso a little bit and played with shifting the shapes. Margaret Hurst
