View post →This drawing is about 10 years old and it’s still one of my favorites. This is an art deco inspired (obviously) drawing of a 1939/40 Cadillac LaSalle. A beautiful car, I hope I did it justice! drawing by Greg Betza
View post →It’s June 7th, 1993 at the Magic Kingdom. I was 23, and really young. A little over a year had passed since I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. I knew instinctively there was still so much to learn if I really wanted to call myself ‘an artist’ or find the […]
View post →This is one of over a hundred drawings I made in Paris. I fell in love with Paris. This drawing in particular was produced inside the Chartres Cathedral. It caught my absolute attention. The sculpture just captures the perfect picture of what life in the spirit could be. The Cathedral itself was enormous, I think […]
View post →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.
View post →It’s 5:30 am on Sunday the 19th of July 2009 and a small group of artists are lined up at the White Columns down on Horatio St. We all wait anxiously as open casting calls take place for a reality TV project starring thirteen aspiring artists. The show is being developed by Bravo which brings […]

I find that if you […]
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
View post →Right underneath the subway the Coquito Man yells at the top of his lungs, “COQUITO!” Kids love it, adults love it, I love it. So yes I sat down, drew Mr. Coquito under the rumbling of the subway, and then proceeded with buying myself a large cup of coquito. Eddie Peña

View post →Despite weather calling for severe thunderstorms, my family and I ‘braved’ the conditions and set out for traffic-free Times Square. 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 […]
View post →The Metropolitan Museum of Art has the latest, and largest to date, Roxy Paine steel tree sculpture on its rooftop. Â It’s beautiful and I’m going back with bigger paper to make a larger drawing. Â This sculpture is incredible! Â I overheard two ladies talking about the scupture, “It’s like it keeps growing and growing into this […]

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 →This little drawing was one of the first that prompted Life On Second. I thought it was quaint way back when this was the only machine blocking traffic. It wasn’t quaint for long.—Dominick
