The Society of Illustrators virtual sketch night: MASKS. The wonderful model for the evening sketch night was Susan Tierney. Bill Donovan was the host. And Ken Nitzel created the masks. So fun!! m hurst

As the month is coming to a close I was remembering that June is LGBTQ, Gay Pride month. With so many other issues being addressed I thought it would be nice to focus my illustration on Gay Pride and to remember that the colors of the LGBTQ flag have several meanings: Life, Healing, Sunlight, Nature, […]

Having so much time these days I’m sure you find yourselves looking into the past. Whether through your memories or through digital files, and sometimes we stumble upon something we had forgotten. Such is what happened with this drawing from 2014. Greg Betza ©2020

I’ve been drawing a lot during virtual figure drawing sessions lately. It’s been a way to keep busy or “sharp” during the quarantine. It’s been great, but honestly, nothing beats drawing from “real” life. Here is a drawing made from a non-quarantine drawing session (amazing that that is now a distinction) a few years ago. […]

Last August my family and I spent a week in Grand Junction Colorado. I had never heard of the place, and though I had an idea of what Colorado would be like, Grand Junction did not fit what I had in mind. It is much more “Utah”, much more desert and what you may think […]

I was looking through some older files and found this one with a quote from Mother Teresa. I feel that it’s an appropriate, positive sentiment at this time during our corona virus era. Sending love to the world, and thanks and love to our heroes out there who are putting their life on the front […]

If all goes well, and I self isolate, I will not see who this was originally intended for. I will not see the nurses, doctors, healthcare professionals, EMTs, police officers, firefighters, and the many other front line responders whose chosen professions are to help us. THEY CHOSE A PROFESSION TO HELP. A thought I can […]

The “Q” stands for quarantine, a word that we all hear far too often these strange days. Feeling a bit stagnant and honestly a bit sad this morning I decided to just draw, to get out of this temporary funk I’m feeling. I’m happy to report I’m feeling much better as I worked to find […]

I was looking through some drawings and found this one that I drew awhile back. I was learning how to draw the model and make marks. And also, no one was within 6 feet of the model! m hurst

Spring is upon us…and I’m sure I speak for you all when I say it feels quite different this year. Instead of bursting out of our homes to enjoy the warmer weather, blossoming plants and blooming flowers, we’re shut in, afraid to breathe the fresh air, especially if anyone is within 6 feet of that […]
