Another pen drawing from a quick trip to the NY Aquarium. I usually avoid zoos and aquariums for personal reasons but I made the trip for my son and was happy to see some beautiful aquatic creatures. But I guess my personal feelings seeped out into the drawing because I feel like this fish looks […]

Here is a drawing of Colleen Green. Her band was the opening act a few weekends ago in Brooklyn. I’d never heard of her or her band but I enjoyed her stage presence, look and especially her sunglasses. Thanks to my sister for holding my beer while I drew this. Greg Betza ©2017

Drawing at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. People every where, the smell of burgers on the grill. The warmth of the sun wrapped around me. What a way to spend a day.

Spent the day last Saturday drawing with half of my 1482 compatriots. The studio turned into a mythical land where creatures roamed and faun’s and minotaur’s played. A little fantasy never hurts. If only cupid had payed a visit.—Dominick

Spent some priceless time with my friends at the studio figure drawing a few weeks back. It’s always good to be home. – Michele Drawing done in charcoal, watercolor and crayon.

View post →As my older son closed off his first year at a new school in June we thought it would be an interesting summer if we set up a treasure hunt that would last throughout their vacation. The mission was to ride every carousel we could find in the tri-state area (including Nassau and Suffolk). To simply […]

View post →I had such a great time at the ETSY Hands-on: drawing event last week. It was inspiring to meet so many aspiring artists eager to learn a new perspective on drawing. Here’s one of Kika in her final pose of the evening. – Michele, pen and ink
View post →The hilarious Eugene Merman (the creepy super from “Flight of the Conchords”) reading us the open letter he wrote to Time Warner Cable after some frustrating (and unfortunately rather typical) scheduling issues. He was warming up the crowd at Brooklyn’s Bell House for his friend Amanda Palmer, who later that night blew our collective minds. […]
View post →Ok maybe you haven’t heard of them, but Leatherface is a British punk band that’s been around since 1988. I’ve been a fan since the early nineties and just had the chance to see them last month at the knitting factory in Brooklyn. Though they are quite obscure, the place was sold out and the […]
View post →Ever since I was a little girl my family has had this wonderfully bizarre tradition of spending Easter Sunday at Coney Island in Brooklyn. At first though it’s not the most romantic place to be these days but there’s always been something quite magical about the whole experience. Every year we’d park right in front […]
