Here is a page of quick drawings I made at the New York Aquarium. I think I captured how incredibly mean they appear. Though I hear they’re harmless… ©Greg Betza
View post →Drawing is a skill that always needs attention. Like any art form, it takes practice, practice and more practice. Below is a page of hand studies done for no other reason than for the exercise (always a great barometer to see where I’m at) – Michele
View post →Again at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. I really enjoy my trips to the gardens. It’s a place where you can leave the rumbling of the city behind, at least for a moment. Eddie Peña
View post →This is my favorite drawing from the Mad Men premiere in Times Square. It’s inspired by all those gazelle legs emerging from impossibly microscopic dresses as they lined up for the costume contest.

Â The activity of drawing is a way of trying to understand who we are and how we operate in the world.” –William Kentridge identity Thinking with hands […]
View post →…is a rock band. I went to two concerts in Central Park last week. The first was a washout! It rained and we all got soaked. And there was some serious lightning. But we had fun and the band played on. So, I went back on Friday to enjoy the show–sans shower. Here is one […]

The piece I’ve posted today is a thumbnail sketch/idea for my piece. If you’re in New York City October 9-11 please stop by and see the finished piece in person. […]

It was an interesting go at an […]

View post →Joe Ades, known as the “Gentleman Peeler” (because of his fine suits and British accent I presume) was a fixture in Union Square Greenmarket where he would sell $5 carrot/potato peelers. Our meeting was a funny one. I sat in front and drew him as he asked me nicely (then not so nicely) to get […]
View post →As New Yorkers we often think we’re so much “in control”. Yet this week Mother Nature really let be known who’s in charge! Still stunned by how many trees we lost in my neighborhood from the tornado I spent a few minutes in the yard wondering how the birds reacted to the loss. To my […]
View post →An ink drawing from the New York City / Times Square premiere for season 4 of Mad Men. This drawing is of two of the female leads, January Jones and Elizabeth Moss, who were at the screening. In the coming weeks I’ll be posting a few more of the drawings I made that evening.
