A quick drawing of someone about to cover their eyes. Looks very fearful, though that wasn’t the intent. I guess sometimes the pen captures what’s really happening regardless of what you think you see. Greg Betza ©2017

I just finished watching the DNC. Bernie was there and Hillary thanked him and said SHE supported HIM! So now they’re even. It made me think of this reportage drawing I made at Bernie’s rally in June at Washington Square Park. It’s all about the hands reaching out in support. And of course, Bernie’s hands […]

View post →For most countries the official day of resetting the annual clock is on January 1st. It’s a symbol of renewal and an opportunity to plant new seeds of thought, a new way of seeing the light in things … So in keeping with tradition I’ve taken some time this week to reflect on 2015 in […]
View post →These are some hand drawings from a little ways back. When I finished drawing them I realized that they looked like trees. They were supposed to be hands united, which could also represent trees. Trees do so much for us, so, yeah, Red Tree Hands! United! Margaret Hurst
