I just returned from a beautiful week in Aruba. Here is a moment I witnessed between a mother and her young daughter building sandcastles on the edge of the calm blue water. Greg Betza ©2015
View post →Each in their own world, this “collection of three” was sitting across from me while waiting for the 3:00 parade in the Magic Kingdom last week. People are often the hardest to ever draw.

View post →Another drawing of Mr. Gandhi at Union Square. Many items will often be placed in Mr. Gandhi’s arms: flowers, pizza containers, etc.. On Sunday there was a bouquet of sunflowers placed in a Starbuck’s plastic coffee cup. There was some water placed in the cup to feed the sunflowers. This was placed on Gandhi’s right […]

View post →In a few weeks I’ll be flying down to Florida to join in on an adventurous, rigorous, wonderous and valuable reportage workshop with the Dalvero Academy. In preparation for the trip I’ve pulled out some older drawings to make some plans before my arrival on site. Without a plan (trust me panic sets in real […]
View post →I found myself sitting around a table, in the aftermath of seven 8-year olds, with palettes full of paint and an empty canvas. In the five minutes before the skies broke and a storm rained down I drew the closest model sitting on the ground unaware of my actions.—Dominick

View post →While on the trip to Cuba we drove into the countryside west of Havana. This gentleman was sitting on his bull while his friends were talking on the bench. The tree was huge with its beautiful large green leaves. A beautiful day in Vinales! m. hurst
View post →I’ve just returned from a trip to Belgium. While enjoying a beer one afternoon I spotted this gentleman sipping a beer too. He deserved it after all of the work it must have take to get that mustache just right! Greg Betza ©2015
