Looking forward to working with talented models like Erica again soon. — CARE FUNDRAISING UPDATE Thank you to everyone who participated in my raffle to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees through CARE. Together we […]

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

With each passing day and each new image sent from the site of the atrocities it is hard to image it could get worse, but it does daily. —Dominick

Seeing so many Ukrainian refugees fleeing their homes, leaving family members and life as they knew it behind, I wanted to find a way to contribute. So I painted a sunflower, the national flower of Ukraine and now, a global symbol of hope and resistance, as a way to raise funds for their aid. […]

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

What looked hopeless when it started has been inspiring. The world needs to support Ukraine on every front. This is how democracy is defended.—Dominick

So nice to be out and about in the city again. Made a quick drawing of this intense conversation between two women at the Essex Market. I’d love to know exactly what they were talking about! Posted by Veronica

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

I guess that is the ignorance of youth, even though I am no longer young. This seems unfathomable. Like we are living in a movie. My heart breaks for each and every citizen of the Ukraine.—Dominick

Even the sky was Ukrainian blue on Sunday, as befitted the Ukrainian rally in Washington Square Park in NYC. The two people on the right side of my drawing were holding poles which each had two flags on them. The man explained – The one with the flags of NATO and the United States together […]

It was so warm in NYC this past Thursday, that I swear I could see the cherry tree in my building’s courtyard start to bloom. Maybe she was just thinking about it… Posted by Veronica

Seemed appropriate for a Valentine’s week post to highlight one of the few who sticks around all winter year in and year out. Growing up I never saw so many. I will never grow tired of their gracing our front tree and sitting in safety from us as we sit inside quietly admiring them.—Dominick

The temperatures got into the 50s in NYC this weekend – so warm out that after Neil and I visited a friend’s gallery opening in Chelsea, we stopped by the market to have some tacos al fresco. I made this quick drawing of him while he answered an email on his phone. The warm weather […]

As the robins caused a flurry this past weekend under the holly tree and led to discussions of migration and who should be here this time of year and who should not, I wondered what one of my new backyard friends does for the winter. I had either never seen or never paid much attention […]

I am so pleased and honored that this holiday illustration I created for The Newbury hotel in Boston has been accepted to Illustration West 60, the juried annual exhibition of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles. It’s wonderful to be in a group with so many talented illustrators. In contrast with last year’s holiday […]

Reading, go figure! This piece started last Monday (yes I am posting late) as a mono print based on an article I found online, but grew into a bigger piece as the story developed. A week ago there was an issue in Texas regarding the National Butterfly Center. Apparently butterflies make for a good front […]

Sitting in my studio on a cold January day, I find myself daydreaming of summer, and an afternoon spent at the beach on Coney Island. This is a quick little drawing I made of a young boy running with Cheetos spilling from his bag, chased by hungry seagulls. Posted by Veronica
