I think I’ll take a break from posting holiday facts on onedrawingaday. I will continue the project on my own blog, so come on over to check out what’s going on in the world on any given day. So for the next few weeks, I’d like to share some drawings I made this summer during […]
View post →I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. My family and I visited Crete, Santorini and Athens and we were fortunate to have ample time to create some art. This painting is of the river Xydas in the village of Kalyves on the island of Crete. The three boats have become somewhat of a […]
View post →A place where respect and quiet is demanded. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is colossal, and when you walk in it only gets bigger. It’s a great place to draw, where you can stay cool and no one bothers you. Eddie Peña
View post →Another view of the Roxy Trees in Mad Sq. Park! Â Grass, bare feet, books and eats! Â Margaret
View post →Believe it or not, not much is going on in the world today by way of holidays. So, if you’re thinking of doing something special and getting worldwide recognition for it, today is a great day to do it. It’s totally open for you! In place of the usual holiday-themed drawing, I’d like to share […]
View post →Another drawing from a few years back when I spent the better part of a long summer reportage-ing all around New York. Often I feel overwhelmed at Rockefeller Center, maybe because there is so much to look at, great art, architecture, tons of people, I don’t know, but on this day I was able to […]
View post →The American Museum of Natural History, one of my favorite places to go and disappear. It is a world of fun and adventure, where the past is brought to life and the present is magnified. If you have not gone, GO! Eddie Peña
View post →Walking through the second floor of the Met Museum in NYC I love browsing through museums, and taking emotional notes with either my brain or my pen (or, as in this case, with pencil and crayon)
View post →Roxy at Madison Sq. Park a couple years ago….a small cocktail party with the “steel tree” behind the party goers. Â Margaret
View post →Biodiesel was discovered on August 10th, 1893 Corn flower as Energy by Despina Georgiadis
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 →Summer as a kid was great. I spent all my summers  in the Dominican Republic running around, eating fruits straight from the tree. My grandfather had cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits and more. Being a city boy I’m thankful to have experienced milking a cow, chasing chickens and hunting lizards. Above is a drawing of Emilio. Emilio […]
View post →Every year during the summer time in NYC, the fishermen line up along the East River on New York’s lower east side. They are out here every day, looking for treasure in the rivers around the Big Apple. They do seem to catch something, and they eat it, too! Not sure how I’d feel about […]
View post →Different Roxy Paine “trees” at Madison Sq. Park on 23rd Street from a few years back. Â Everyone sat under them like they were real trees and enjoyed the afternoon! Â Margaret

This drawing was done a little over a month ago down at the south street seaport in NYC. Now I’ve been there a million times and drawn the boats at least that many times, so on this day I looked for something different. I found this great mess of bikes. There truly is always something […]
View post →As I wait for my technologically challenged summer to come to a halt (scanner is on the fritz), I dig deeper in the archives and search for something that means as much now as it it did then. This is one of my favorite drawings from The American Museum of Natural History. This drawing, and […]
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 →They had this thing called ‘art battles’ in the park area of my apartment complex. These four guys had two hours to make a painting in front of everyone and the crowd voted for their favorite. The winner gets a thousand bucks. There was one guy doing a pop-art kind of Statue of Liberty thing, […]
