Seems these days everyone is looking down at their devices, including this woman on the subway a few weeks ago. Greg Betza 2018

View post →Sometimes, even in this city of 16 million, one person will stand out, or sit, and there is no one else. I often wonder if they feel as solitary as they seem for those few moments. As I finish I look up and realize that a few gazing eyes have been spying as I work, […]
View post →I found this spread in my sketchbook and thought it was interesting how on one page I decided to cover all traces of hair by drawing these fully “capped” men, and then on the next page I’m practically combing these guys with my pencil. Who knows what goes through your mind when your drawing! […]
View post →Ok, so we have a few weeks left. And this week hasn’t been so bad. I was told this morning that the already cold (and snowy) New York landscape that we are in for this year is to be followed by the most brutal heat wave of a summer. Just when I let my eco-conscious […]
View post →After a show on the lower east side this Thursday I headed back to New Jersey via the good ol’ PATH train. Here is another couple doing about the same. Greg Betza ©2014
View post →I don’t think I have posted this one yet. I was never really happy with the scale and design. A little harbor on the Hudson I pass often. Yet it always seems to turn up when I am looking through watercolors. Each time it grows on me a little more. For some reason I remember […]

View post →I don’t mind the cooler weather at all, nor a little rain (OK, a lot of rain, but it seems to have stopped)—the one great benefit of the strange weather is the strange weather. Weird grey fog rolling across the Hudson with pops of emerging greens and pink colors. A few of the thumbnails from […]
View post →I stopped trying to hide the fact that I am drawing. I’ve been doing it for years now on my routine trips that I feel like I should put out a cup. Or at least wear a sign with this blog name on it. Sometimes I’ll get engaged in some discussion when I get off […]
View post →Can’t help but miss everything about this town. The streets, the food, the people (like this fellow passenger on the Lexington line), there is no place like New York and no place like the Upper East Side. —Dominick

View post →I won’t say I forgot, I just forgot what day it was. All of my alerts went off yesterday, yet this morning I had yet to post a new drawing. I quickly grabbed this one from Grand Central. I caught these two having pizza while waiting for a train.I was waiting for a train, they […]
View post →I know most of us would probably say that our days do not go as planned. Or maybe it is just me. If I accomplish a fraction of what I set out to on most days, I would usually be pretty happy. Today in the midst of assignments and deadlines, the projects took a back […]
View post →here is another from my Commuter series. Standing on the bus is never a good time. Happy Monday everyone! drawing by Greg Betza
