View post →The studio’s been in existence since 2004. It’s hard to believe this is our 10th Anniversary. Although we all knew each other prior to, the past 10 years has made us a family unit that eat together, draw together, laugh when things are funny and cry when things hurt. This week one of us has […]
View post →I spent Labor Day weekend 2009 in Pennsylvania visiting the Brandywine museum (heavenly!) and the Chaddsford Winery nearby. The winery was hosting a jazz festival wine tasting event. I have to say, I had been there two years earlier and the wines from this local winery have improved quite a bit. The Proprietors Reserve White […]

View post →I made this drawing in Chania, Crete in the summer of 2009. According to my note, it is called the ‘Back Door Cafe‘, a rather pedestrian name for a place in such an amazing city. Greg Betza ©2014
View post → Yesterday morning not long after all the busy-ness of the morning’s demands settled down I decided to do something out of the box and get a cup of coffee. Not an ordinary cup of coffee but a “pumpkin spiced latte”. Maybe it was the change in weather or maybe it was just ’cause it was a new day. […]

View post →Sorry for the late post, but I spent the early part of the day at Brookdale Park, here in Bloomfield New Jersey. I was helping out a local ad agency promote the ‘value’ of this great park to its visitors. Along with a few other illustrators and students from Montclair State University, I was asked […]
View post →Dominick’s drawing of crowds yesterday was such a beautiful study. It reminded me how important it is to feel your way through a drawing and remembering to forget about what you think it’s “supposed to be.” The reward is in letting it tell you what it wants to be, what it’s MEANT to be. (Really nice […]
View post →Sorry about the late post today, I was out late last night at the Replacements concert in Forest Hills, NY. It was their first appearance in New York in over 20 years! I’ve waited a long time to see them and they didn’t disappoint at all. In my opinion the show could not have been […]
View post →A few years back I was having a challenging time “seeing the big picture”. So my teacher, (and mentor) sat me down and demanded that I “GO BIG” for the rest of the summer. To clarify, that meant minimally my drawings had to be 36″ x 42″.  … For any who’s drawn on location, that’s quite […]

View post →Had the chance to see Bob Mould the other night at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Bob has been around forever it seems and is somewhat of a living legend. First, as the singer of the influential band Hüsker Dü, and then with his second band Sugar, Bob has been making music for […]
View post →Yesterday, September 11th was a day of reflection for me and so many around the world. My phone was off, my computer down. I spent the morning at my late husband’s firehouse with old friends I now see for the most part just once a year. It’s hard to believe 13 years have passed and yet when […]
