I made this drawing at a special sketch night at the Society of Illustrators last Thursday. The models were clothed in garments by designer Raul Peñaranda. You can see the rest of my drawings here on my blog. ©2015 Greg Betza

View post →I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. I saw a ridiculously long line for the “Sex and the City” Tour Bus. Very funny. Maybe I’ll post the drawing of that another day. This time, I’ll share […]
View post →I finally made it to a sketch night at the Society of Illustrators. Here is a drawing I made of the model who was acting out the role of Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games. See more of this series here on my blog.

View post →Yesterday was the first of the year and we wanted to do something special with the kids to honor the day. So we took them to see the Holiday Train Show at the NYBG. It was as beautiful as ever and the kids were amazed when they saw “Thomas” whizzing by on the railroad […]

View post →Ok, so we have a few weeks left. And this week hasn’t been so bad. I was told this morning that the already cold (and snowy) New York landscape that we are in for this year is to be followed by the most brutal heat wave of a summer. Just when I let my eco-conscious […]
View post →“Oma goes to Paris” …sounds like a children’s book in the making. In reality “Oma” is a very very dear family friend who just left a few days back to visit with her son in Paris during this Thanksgiving holiday. While she was packing I spoke with her on the phone and she shared her […]
View post →The moment always seems to arrive sooner than expected. But that is life. I’ve actually planned for this post for some time. I wasn’t expecting the snow, for which I am always thankful for, so the color and the subject might be out of place for those in southern New York or on the East […]
