I thought I’d follow-up last weeks post with another from my time down at Disney. This drawing is from the Chinese Pavilion at EPCOT. I’m sure it’s nothing like the real thing, but it does offer a beautiful glimpse into the rich history of the culture.

The show is being developed by Bravo which brings […]
View post →Looking through some drawings I came across this one from Main Street USA (at the Magic Kingdom). I’ve spent many summers drawing down in Walt Disney World. And as soon as the weather turns warm, my thoughts always seem to go there. For many reasons, it is the most wonderful place I’ve ever been, and […]

View post →I thought I’d follow up my last post with another drawing from my reportage of Times Square. I will be posting the rest of the drawings on my blog, so check them out if you have a chance. post by Greg Betza

Saturday was an incredibly beautiful day, and the free tables and chairs were an added luxury. I’ve always loved drawing Times Sq. It’s a bit crazy, but there are so many points of interest that […]

I live here in New York City and WISDOM tells me don’t touch those hot dogs but sometimes HUNGER gets the better of me. You would think the term […]

View post →One Drawing a Day, that’s 365 drawings in a year. Not bad, it’s fortunate for my colleagues and I that we love to draw. As reportage artists, Illustrators, designers, photographers, film makers and painters we love to think with our hands. The drawing for today speaks for itself. That’s my Grandpa, he has the thousand […]
View post →A trip to Paris is never short of wonder. There’s no other place like it, the shops, the history, the food, THE ART! Here’s a drawing I made in the Musee National Picasso during a trip abroad traveling with my associates at 1482. Spending the day with Picasso’s lifework (in awe, I might add) was truly divine. What an […]
