These little thumbnails were the catalyst for a project that occupied most of my 2018 – an illustrated interactive game wall at the new NYU Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital in New York, working with the talented people at Potion Design; a trip through NYC. This thumbnail was the start of the Central Park game, see the […]
View post →In the middle of the coldest April in the Northeast ever – yes that means EVERY SINGLE DAY is a record low temperature for the month – we had one nice day. AND it was a Saturday! So I took advantage of this to run out to the park to do a little drawing. But…but…but…where […]

View post →Above are some screen shots of a drawing of Central Park that I created digitally. The difference with this drawing is that it is totally immersive – you can move into it, pan around it, let it move past you – this is a dream come true for draftsmen! I did this drawing using Mental […]

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 recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. I saw a ridiculously long line for the “Sex and the City” Tour Bus. Very funny. Maybe I’ll post the drawing of that another day. This time, I’ll share […]
View post →Here is a drawing I made on a cold day back in 2011. This is the South East corner of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. I was actually standing on a hard patch of ice and almost froze myself from the bottom up! ©Greg Betza 2014
View post →A quick drawing I made in my sketchbook, of our ever-changing NYC skyline. This was made from the Central Park Zoo. You can see the giant pencil-thin tower, “One 57” going up at the right. It’s even taller now than it was when I drew this, about two months ago. I hear you’ll be able […]
View post →There has been a lot of talk about doing away with handsome cabs around New York’s Central Park, and while I would be sad to see another NYC icon fade, I do feel for the horses… -Despina
View post →A drawing of the NYC skyline that I made from Central Park, while completing one of my favorite reportage assignments. The skyline keeps changing, but I’ll always love New York. posted by Veronica
View post →Playing with some watercolor and trying to make some very fluid lines. I love being around the cherry trees; close to them, far away, under them, in them…any way I can be! I wish the blossoms lasted a bit longer, but maybe their short presence makes me really appreciate them when they show up in […]
