Another weekend, another show, another of my favorites. This time, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. Simply put, J is one of the most prolific songwriters and virtuoso guitarists of his generation. Last night it was just him and a guitar as he performed songs from his 30 year career at the Bowery Ballroom in New […]

View post →I spent Labor Day weekend 2009 in Pennsylvania visiting the Brandywine museum (heavenly!) and the Chaddsford Winery nearby. The winery was hosting a jazz festival wine tasting event. I have to say, I had been there two years earlier and the wines from this local winery have improved quite a bit. The Proprietors Reserve White […]

View post →I made this drawing in Chania, Crete in the summer of 2009. According to my note, it is called the ‘Back Door Cafe‘, a rather pedestrian name for a place in such an amazing city. Greg Betza ©2014
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 →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 →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 →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 →One of the most memorable moments of my recent voyage on the Charles W. Morgan was when one of the sailors began singing sea shanties on board. It was foggy on the deck, and a most soulful moment. You can read more about the voyage in part 3 of my visual essay here. posted […]
