A place where respect and quiet is demanded. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is colossal, and when you walk in it only gets bigger. It’s a great place to draw, where you can stay cool and no one bothers you. Eddie Peña

View post →Every Sunday I like to visit the Farmer’s Market and see what comes in from the farms around New York City. Lots of fresh produce, lots of freshly baked goods and lots of freshly cut flowers! Makes me feel like Eliza Doolittle when I get a big bunch of daisies to bring home to my […]

View post →Believe it or not, not much is going on in the world today by way of holidays. So, if you’re thinking of doing something special and getting worldwide recognition for it, today is a great day to do it. It’s totally open for you! In place of the usual holiday-themed drawing, I’d like to share […]
View post →Another drawing from a few years back when I spent the better part of a long summer reportage-ing all around New York. Often I feel overwhelmed at Rockefeller Center, maybe because there is so much to look at, great art, architecture, tons of people, I don’t know, but on this day I was able to […]
View post →Sitting in the Bakery. It’s August 14, 2009 at the Magic Kingdom and I’m here drawing! click for a larger image I flew home from Disney last night exhausted and missing it already. Can it be that just two days ago I was sitting on Main Street listening to that familiar clang of the bells as […]
View post →Just figured it was a good day for a song. Something traditional. A classic. Easily sung along with. Happy Saturday everybody.
View post →The American Museum of Natural History, one of my favorite places to go and disappear. It is a world of fun and adventure, where the past is brought to life and the present is magnified. If you have not gone, GO! Eddie Peña
View post →Walking through the second floor of the Met Museum in NYC I love browsing through museums, and taking emotional notes with either my brain or my pen (or, as in this case, with pencil and crayon)
View post →I had to post another drawing of these dudes. They are too cool. And such a part of summer in the East Village. That’s why I love my neighborhood – it hasn’t lost it’s personality over the years. Great stuff. Think I’ll have some fish for dinner tonight…I usually cast my line at the Associated […]

View post →This drawing is about 10 years old and it’s still one of my favorites. This is an art deco inspired (obviously) drawing of a 1939/40 Cadillac LaSalle. A beautiful car, I hope I did it justice! drawing by Greg Betza
View post →It’s June 7th, 1993 at the Magic Kingdom. I was 23, and really young. A little over a year had passed since I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. I knew instinctively there was still so much to learn if I really wanted to call myself ‘an artist’ or find the […]
View post →If you have ever traveled along then Hudson River in New York, particularly via Metro North Railroad which rides along the river, you may have witnessed an odd looking ship that seems out of place among all the tug boats and tankers that crowd the waters. That vessel may have been the Half Moon, a […]
View post →Summer as a kid was great. I spent all my summers  in the Dominican Republic running around, eating fruits straight from the tree. My grandfather had cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits and more. Being a city boy I’m thankful to have experienced milking a cow, chasing chickens and hunting lizards. Above is a drawing of Emilio. Emilio […]

Every year during the summer time in NYC, the fishermen line up along the East River on New York’s lower east side. They are out here every day, looking for treasure in the rivers around the Big Apple. They do seem to catch something, and they eat it, too! Not sure how I’d feel about […]
View post →Different Roxy Paine “trees” at Madison Sq. Park on 23rd Street from a few years back. Â Everyone sat under them like they were real trees and enjoyed the afternoon! Â Margaret
