View post → Yesterday morning not long after all the busy-ness of the morning’s demands settled down I decided to do something out of the box and get a cup of coffee. Not an ordinary cup of coffee but a “pumpkin spiced latte”. Maybe it was the change in weather or maybe it was just ’cause it was a new day. […]

View post →There was a buzz in the air. Everyone was so excited. The Morgan was coming home to Mystic Seaport. Let me tell you – this ship – she has fans! Here’s a drawing I made as she made her approach toward Chubb’s Wharf. The crowd standing on the dock went wild! ~Despina
View post →Sorry for the late post, but I spent the early part of the day at Brookdale Park, here in Bloomfield New Jersey. I was helping out a local ad agency promote the ‘value’ of this great park to its visitors. Along with a few other illustrators and students from Montclair State University, I was asked […]
View post →Dominick’s drawing of crowds yesterday was such a beautiful study. It reminded me how important it is to feel your way through a drawing and remembering to forget about what you think it’s “supposed to be.” The reward is in letting it tell you what it wants to be, what it’s MEANT to be. (Really nice […]

View post →Watercolor and colored pencil illustration from My Song is my Friend. Children’s book written and illustrated by Despina Georgiadis FUNDRAISER: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and from now until October 31st, I’m donating 100% of the profits for my newly published book to “Make-A-Wish Foundation”. To learn more about the book and to find […]
View post →Sorry about the late post today, I was out late last night at the Replacements concert in Forest Hills, NY. It was their first appearance in New York in over 20 years! I’ve waited a long time to see them and they didn’t disappoint at all. In my opinion the show could not have been […]
View post →A few years back I was having a challenging time “seeing the big picture”. So my teacher, (and mentor) sat me down and demanded that I “GO BIG” for the rest of the summer. To clarify, that meant minimally my drawings had to be 36″ x 42″.  … For any who’s drawn on location, that’s quite […]
View post →Yes, it is Saturday and I am posting for last Thursday (internet magic), yes she looks like she is smelling his underarm (she wasn’t, she was completely entranced by him), and yes time always seems to play games with us (it isn’t personal, at least I don’t believe it to be), but all there needs […]

View post →A few years ago I worked on a project about the collective warped ego of the world today. Every time I hear something terrible in the news, I can’t help but think of certain aspects of humanity in this way. ~Despina
View post →Had the chance to see Bob Mould the other night at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Bob has been around forever it seems and is somewhat of a living legend. First, as the singer of the influential band Hüsker Dü, and then with his second band Sugar, Bob has been making music for […]
View post →Yesterday, September 11th was a day of reflection for me and so many around the world. My phone was off, my computer down. I spent the morning at my late husband’s firehouse with old friends I now see for the most part just once a year. It’s hard to believe 13 years have passed and yet when […]
