“All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.†-Robert Southey 1774-1843 Iago is a fictional character in Shakespeare’s Othello who entangles everyone around him in a web of lies to serve his own purpose. I find that if you […]

View post →Back to my Earth Calendar. Today is a special day for the people of the Baha’i faith. The mission of the Baha’i is is to spiritually unify all the people and all religions of the world. Although painfully idealistic,that’s something I truly believe in myself! The temples of the Baha’i are really something. The most […]
View post →I thought I’d follow up my last post with another drawing from my reportage of Times Square. I will be posting the rest of the drawings on my blog, so check them out if you have a chance. post by Greg Betza
View post →a.k.a. the Avenue des Champs-Élysées This weeks drawing was done on a warm, (really warm) July afternoon while standing on the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe. It’s known in France as La plus belle avenue du monde (“The most beautiful avenue in the world”), a fitting call since it’s just down the street from the stunning […]
View post →A few years ago I found myself on a train in France, on my way to Chartres. I knew nothing of where I was headed. I brought a little reading with me to get familiar and have something to connect with when I arrived. One of the passages I read mentioned fields of gold and […]
View post →Right underneath the subway the Coquito Man yells at the top of his lungs, “COQUITO!” Kids love it, adults love it, I love it. So yes I sat down, drew Mr. Coquito under the rumbling of the subway, and then proceeded with buying myself a large cup of coquito. Eddie Peña
View post →In honor of the start of the holiday weekend, I thought I’d post a drawing I made at the biggest and most fabulous outdoor barbecue I’ve ever been to, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival! This drawing is of folks two-stepping at the zydeco tent, yee-ha — Happy 4th of July! – Veronica
View post →This is another drawing of the CPDSA skaters in Central Park, making moves and having fun, as usual! Â Happy 4th of July! Margaret Hurst
View post →So, again, I look to my earth calendar and see that today, amongst many holidays observed around the globe by various countries, Somalia celebrates its indepedence. Somalia is in great contrast with the country I mentioned in my last post -Denmark. We don’t ever really get good news coming out of this country on the […]
View post →Despite weather calling for severe thunderstorms, my family and I ‘braved’ the conditions and set out for traffic-free Times Square. Saturday was an incredibly beautiful day, and the free tables and chairs were an added luxury. I’ve always loved drawing Times Sq. It’s a bit crazy, but there are so many points of interest that […]
View post →Ah, the days of summer… (how else could I follow Eddie and Dom?) Like our Central Park here in New York, Jardin des Tuileries is one of those parks where you can grab a chair (or a bench) for free and sit wherever you like, (hence why I loved drawing there so much). The Jardin des […]
View post →Still a week away, but since my next post is not until the 6th and all festivities will have been finished by then, I thought I would wish everyone an early Happy 4th of July. This drawing is from 2006 when I was down in Orlando at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. They […]
View post →A hot dog (frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie) is a moist sausage of soft, even texture and flavor, often made from mechanically recovered meat or meat slurry. I live here in New York City and WISDOM tells me don’t touch those hot dogs but sometimes HUNGER gets the better of me. You would think the term […]
View post →The Metropolitan Museum of Art has the latest, and largest to date, Roxy Paine steel tree sculpture on its rooftop. Â It’s beautiful and I’m going back with bigger paper to make a larger drawing. Â This sculpture is incredible! Â I overheard two ladies talking about the scupture, “It’s like it keeps growing and growing into this […]
View post →According to my “earth” calendar, today is Midsummer Party day in Denmark. Many northern European countries celebrate Midsummer by building bonfires and having lots of fun. It’s origins go waaay back. Recently, I read how Denmark has been deemed the happiest country in the world. I remember being very intrigued by this and wondered how […]
View post →As the week begins, millions of people hit the roads and rails heading to work. This is a drawing I did a few years ago standing in front of Grand Central Terminal on 42nd St. amongst commuters in NYC.
