View post →Tuesday, August 12, is World Elephant Day! I love elephants. I want them to be around forever, so I hope the world saves them and doesn’t need their teeth for some ornament or piece of jewelry. Let’s protect them and give them a voice. WORLD ELEPHANT DAY AUGUST 12, 2014 Margaret Hurst
View post →I spent Thursday at Yankee Stadium sitting close to, and drawing, outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. For those of you that don’t know, “Ichiro” is perhaps the greatest player ever to play both in Japan and the Major Leagues. And I just read yesterday that the Yankees have placed him on waivers (he is available for trade), […]
View post →This is a drawing I made of an “old school” occupation. Old presses are really quite beautiful. And so are the people who are interested in preserving their history. –Despina PS- switched places wth Michele this week. Look for her post on Sunday!
View post →On a recent trip to Boston with Dalvero Academy we spent the afternoon in Copley Square. The square is beautiful, historical and modern. Under a small leafy green tree across the street from the Boston Public Library is the finish line for the Boston Marathon where a small wooden memorial is representing the four people […]
View post →Recently at the ICA in Boston I got to watch a beautiful dance troupe (they were all quite beautiful) perform live with the Boston harbor as backdrop. Unfortunately I can’t remember the names and details at the moment but when I get a chance I’ll post more drawings and info on my blog: www.despinageorgiadis.com
View post →While making this drawing I couldn’t help thinking about how I remember that hairstyle from at least 20 years ago. It’s amazing how styles just keep coming back over and over. And usually better the second or third time. © Greg Betza 2014
View post →I made this drawing with one thing in mind “marks”. Thank you to Van Gogh for the lesson. © Greg Betza 2014

View post →There has been a lot of talk about doing away with handsome cabs around New York’s Central Park, and while I would be sad to see another NYC icon fade, I do feel for the horses… -Despina
View post →I made this drawing in 2009 while on the island of Santorini. You’ll notice ship masts and buses in the background. We were all waiting for our ride off or onto the island…which, by the way, is one of the most naturally beautiful places I have ever visited. Click here for more drawings made on […]
View post →On Tuesday, July 15, I will be riding as a 38th Voyager on the Provincetown to Boston leg of the Voyage of the Charles W. Morgan. Can’t wait to share my drawings and experiences with all of you who follow this blog! But right now, I’m sailing… : ) Posted by Veronica
View post →Top mast on the Charles W. Morgan at Mystic Seaport. The top mast was put in place on November 11, 2013, just a few months ago. That’s hard for me to believe because she’s now under sail going from port to port in New England. Provincetown is her current stop. Dalvero was there! And we […]
View post →The Tour de France is back. I was there to witness the final stage in 2006. Here is a reportage drawing from that day on the Champs-Élysées. ©Greg Betza 2014
View post →Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst
View post →A little embarrassed to admit that I’m late to post today because I was very busy watching Djokovic vs. Federer battle it out in the Wimbledon Championship match. At least I got a little drawing out of it right? I was watching the shadows of the players when I made this drawing. Congrats Novak!! It […]
View post →Another piece from my yard. This is a potted “tree” with small flowers planted at its base. I used a combination of cut paper, ink and watercolor. ©Greg Betza 2014
