This is a drawing I made of an “old school” occupation. Old presses are really quite beautiful. And so are the people who are interested in preserving their history. –Despina PS- switched places wth Michele this week. Look for her post on Sunday!
View post →On a recent trip to Boston with Dalvero Academy we spent the afternoon in Copley Square. The square is beautiful, historical and modern. Under a small leafy green tree across the street from the Boston Public Library is the finish line for the Boston Marathon where a small wooden memorial is representing the four people […]
View post →Recently at the ICA in Boston I got to watch a beautiful dance troupe (they were all quite beautiful) perform live with the Boston harbor as backdrop. Unfortunately I can’t remember the names and details at the moment but when I get a chance I’ll post more drawings and info on my blog: www.despinageorgiadis.com

View post →There has been a lot of talk about doing away with handsome cabs around New York’s Central Park, and while I would be sad to see another NYC icon fade, I do feel for the horses… -Despina
View post →I made this drawing in 2009 while on the island of Santorini. You’ll notice ship masts and buses in the background. We were all waiting for our ride off or onto the island…which, by the way, is one of the most naturally beautiful places I have ever visited. Click here for more drawings made on […]
View post →Top mast on the Charles W. Morgan at Mystic Seaport. The top mast was put in place on November 11, 2013, just a few months ago. That’s hard for me to believe because she’s now under sail going from port to port in New England. Provincetown is her current stop. Dalvero was there! And we […]
View post →Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst
View post →A little embarrassed to admit that I’m late to post today because I was very busy watching Djokovic vs. Federer battle it out in the Wimbledon Championship match. At least I got a little drawing out of it right? I was watching the shadows of the players when I made this drawing. Congrats Novak!! It […]

View post →I decided that since I’ve had to stay close to home lately that I’d make some art about my home. Here is an ink and watercolor drawing/painting of my son’s “climbing dome” which sits in the middle of our yard. © Greg Betza 2014

Another drawing from the sail setting weekend at New London on the Charles W. Morgan. For this drawing I was standing on the dock but very close to where they were added the sails on the jibs. It was a strange and incredible point of view. This particular drawing is of the first sail attached. […]

Hands and rope. these are two drawings from last weekend when Dalvero Academy reportaged the sailing of the Charles W. Morgan on her 38th voyage. She went from Mystic Seaport to New London on March 17th. These hands/rope drawings were made the following day when the crew was attaching the sails to the jibs to […]
