I went to a club with Ronnie and Julia in the city where we were also joined by Mary Ann. These musicians were incredible, as well as the singer, hiding between two of the musicians in the drawing! I think music and drawing make an incredible couple! Margaret Hurst
View post →Â Â I met a woman recently who shared with me an incredible Hopi river story that I have revisited daily to remind myself when things get too noisy it’s easier to go with the flow rather than resist it. I thought it’d be perfect to share as a really nice way to start a […]

View post →OMG! it was nearly 6:10 this morning when my children came running into the room with chocolate on the brain begging to see if the Easter bunny “just happened to drop anything off for them” (since they’ve been so ridiculously well behaved this past week concerned about a shortage in sweets if they did anything but sneeze, lol).

View post →Another drawing from the Society of Illustrators sketch nights. The lingerie featured was by designers Oscar de la Renta and Betsey Johnson…not too shabby. Click Here for the rest of the drawings from that evening. Greg Betza ©2015
View post →Ok, so the first day of Spring was yesterday and yes, it did snow in New York and a bit of the Northeast. but it was a warm wet snow. Signs that the thaw is upon us, or rather finishing. In just one short week most of the snow that covered the ground I wasn’t […]

View post →During a drawing session at the Society of Illustrators last Thursday, a photo session was being conducted. They brought in a male model to pose for photos, and while he was up on the stand I decided to paint ink portraits of him. Here is one. Greg Betza ©2015
View post →This is a detail from an enormous drawing I did last summer, (4′ x 6′ to be exact).  Sometimes when you’re in the middle of a drawing you don’t see the subtlety in moments (or frames) within the “big picture”. It can take time to actually READ YOUR DRAWING and genuinely SEE WHAT IT’S DELIVERED. This […]
View post →Every once in a while I like to challenge myself with a new approach on a drawing and propose a graphic that would push the envelop in one direction or another. INEVITABLYÂ I ALWAYS learn something from the exercise. This was a reportage drawing where I attempted to complete the “big picture” by simply using […]

View post →A really quick drawing of a man on the subway. Decided not to take a manspreading picture and make a drawing instead! Always fun to make a drawing!!! Margaret Hurst
View post →I drew some burlesque models at the Society of Illustrators last Thursday. Very colorful and fun costumes. I’ll post the rest of the session on my blog soon.
View post →Figure drawing from sometime last year. Really happy with this one. Ink and pastel. -Despina
View post →Back in 2004 I was and so is this drawing! I had a period where I just drew everything. This is a drawing of Union Square in New York City. Not sure I would make this drawing the same way today, but it is fun to look back at. #NYC #reportage Greg Betza ©2015
View post →Oddly enough, the one thing I dreaded about making the cross country trip in January was the possibility of missing a snow storm. I am one of the vocal few who love winter, love the snow, love the cold. Yes, I said love. Don’t curse me out. I don’t do the Calvin snow dance—at least […]
View post →A drawing of the wonderful Samir from a weekend of drawing at Dalvero. I drew Samir with a colored pencil and then decided to add some sewing thread to the drawing. I liked what happened and I think I’d like to experiment a little more with the drawing/thread medium. Thank you, Samir! Margaret Hurst
View post →Always fun to look around you and see how many people are texting/online! Margaret
