I first posted this in 2018 as I was working on imagery to represent what I was sensing. I saw it happening not only in the press but also on social media and among friends. The list of things we aren’t allowed to discuss is growing. People are being de-platformed, smeared and demonized. I believe […]

Less time to think and only time to react. It’s great exercise for the mind and hand. These 2 thumbnails are from a recent zoom drawing […]

When you move to a new area there are always surprises, some good some not so good. Luckily we have been greeted by much good so far, including a trio of sandhill cranes that spend a great deal of time near the pond behind my house and often come knocking on my patio door. I’ve […]

I spent a day drawing at Universal Studios recently. Performing that day were these great stilt walkers decked out in holiday costumes. A giant candy-cane and wooden soldier. Fun! …and great to be out drawing in that environment again. Greg Betza ©2020
