Here was an alternate drawing for a reportage project back in 2015. I remember it being one of my favorite jobs, just sitting at a table on a closed street, getting paid to make drawings. I never ate at the restaurant Porta though I hear it was quite good. Greg Betza ©2021

I drew this image of the Capitol of the United States several years ago. At the time I drew it, I could never have imagined the events of the past week in our country. Let’s hope that we can pass this test on the ideals of democracy, and even, dare we say, come closer to […]

I love when cities put up the name of their city in big letters at a public square – in case you forget where you are! I made this drawing during a lovely visit to Toronto with Neil and his parents. posted by Veronica

A while back, I was commissioned to illustrate a menu for a restaurant called Nino’s 46, in midtown. It was one of those fun, relaxing kind of jobs: sat across the street and made the drawing of the place. I had fun drawing the details of the building and I like the idea of the […]

in China! Well, the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot in Florida. I was there last week and was able to sneak in this marker drawing. I haven’t drawn at Epcot in years but it felt so familiar. Greg Betza ©2018

Here is a drawing of the South side of the American Museum of Natural History I made in 2011. I remember standing on ice for the 30 minutes it took to make this drawing…and then I almost fell over when it was done since I couldn’t feel my feet. Greg Betza ©2016

A study from last summer. Not much to say. I think, like today, it rained upon my progress, but I pushed on. Seemed the right drawing on this grey overcast day. Happy Monday to all.—Dominick
