I made this quick drawing at Balanced Rock in Colorado Springs, CO. Balanced Rock is well, a giant red sandstone formation that appears to be precariously balanced. People love to do “the pose” where they’re holding it up. It is beautiful though, wow. Greg Betza ©2019

Got caught daydreaming, time passes by a little quicker than we sometimes realize. Here’s to finding time the rest of the week for some daydreaming and thumbnailing the next project.—Dominick

We didn’t want to leave Amsterdam without a visit to Zaanse Schans, which is a kind of historic park with twelve working windmills. While there, we learned that there are currently 1100 working windmills still operating in the Netherlands; during the pre-industrial revolution days, there were 1100 in the small area around Zaanse alone. I […]

I’ve been traveling cross country this summer and yesterday I traversed the plains of Kansas. Aside from a few cows dotting the landscape, not much to see. But there is something beautiful in the golden plains and the multiple greens of the crops. I tried to capture that here, and a few cows. Greg Betza […]

A long time ago I was advised to put a clip on whatever didn’t quite make sense at the time and save it for further review at a later date. Put it under the bed. Pulling from a small stack on my table I realize there are more choices about than seem evident these days. […]

Just returned from a trip to Amsterdam, where I was an instructor at the 10th annual Urban Sketchers symposium. Amsterdam is an amazing city; one of my personal favorites. The bicycle culture seems to have given every one of Amsterdam’s citizens a permanent mega-dose of endorphins, and they are among the nicest urbanites I’ve encountered. As […]

While spending time in Columbus Ohio I stopped in at an arcade/bar and did some drawing. It was fun to see all of the different people huddled together for the common social activities of gaming and drinking. Greg Betza ©2019

Honestly not sure how I ended up here today. Dredging of a canal, literally and figuratively. The end of July, July will always be France, though there are much cooler times to visit, maybe April. The piles stack up, but lately I find them needing more attention. Let’s see where this ride takes me.—Dominick

July 14 saw the annual Colombian Flower Festival Parade wind it’s way down 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, and I was lucky enough to be there to draw it. Colombia is the flower capital of the Americas, with most cut flowers sold in the United States having their origin there. The illustration above is of […]

I saw this funny scene, a big tough guy playing a Popeye arcade game, sweet Olive Oil approved. I don’t think he knew she was there. Ha. Greg Betza ©2019

A little late but didn’t want to miss another week. In the midst of a busy work schedule I had a moment to run over to the Society of Illustrators to draw. Forgot it was burlesque night until I arrived. Fun Coney Island mermaid meets Disney’s Under the Sea creations.—Dominick

I’m glad to be in the company of the other very talented jurors, and look forward to seeing the work that is submitted. The theme […]
