I was out late the other night and came across these wonderful fellows on the subway. 1 passed out and the other exhibiting just as much energy. ©2014 Greg Betza

Pittsburgh has a reputation (because of the steel industry) as being very industrial and gritty, and while it is, it is also incredibly beautiful…especially if you like bridges. Pittsburgh boasts a total of 446 bridges […]
View post →Another page of notes from the Naturalist Workshop in Provincetown, MA. This one is about marine debris. A little bit overwhelming to say the least! I haven’t been able to look at trash/debris the same way since we scoured the beach after the workshop looking for ocean debris. It comes in many shapes and forms […]
View post →I find that I have learned more about design and drawing from the practice of drawing from a live model. Here is a drawing where I thought about just how much really needs to be drawn to communicate what it is and how it feels. Greg Betza ©2014

Entanglement is a major issue for whales, turtles and other marine animals. Rope used to be made of hemp, now it is all made of plastic.

View post →A pen and ink drawing of a model with my ink bottle and a glass of water to add to the ink… if I choose! Dip pen and ink are one of my favorite mediums to draw with. You never know what’s going to happen when you use it, so it’s always a fun surprise…serendipity! […]
View post →This drawing was made over ten years ago down on the waterfront in Hoboken, NJ. There is a fairly large dock which is home to hundreds of boats all sandwiched together. I can’t imagine what it must be like to park one of them.
