I’ve been doing some work in New York City these last few weeks and have made a few drawings of the “happy” commuters. Here are two. If you’d like to see more, check out my blog where there is a series of these drawings. -Greg Betza

View post →Remember when they gave you a wing pin of the airline when you flew? Flight attendants were “stewardesses” and “stewards”, and of course you had to make sure to book your seat as far away from the smoking section as you could, as nothing smells quite as bitter and disgusting as recycled air tinged with […]

We’ve been having some unseasonably warm weather here in New York City, but I know it’s not going to last. As wintery winds start blowing, my mind drifts back to the Turks and Caicos islands where I spent some lovely time recently. Sitting on the porch overlooking the ocean, I started to play with color […]

View post →Just now finally getting to go through the many drawings I made in Spain in the summer of 2010. This was a group of young boys playing futbol (soccer) one day near the Miro museum. They were without doubt the most beautiful little boys I’ve ever seen. Long eyelashes, so sensitive, really sweet. Neil and […]
View post →At another Open House at the Dalvero Academy. Had much fun drawing the glasses, dress, hair and accessories that defined the style of the fifties. -Despina
View post →Yesterday’s unseasonably cold weather reminded me of this drawing I made last year. It was an unseasonably warm day then, but I was standing on a patch of ice that had yet to melt and by the time I had made this drawing outside of the American Museum of Natural History, I was trembling. Suffering […]

View post →While at a restaurant last night I took notice of how people browse through menus. Some were excited to choose their meals, some seemed indecisive, and others, like the man in this drawing seemed a bit disappointed and a bit bored with the offerings. -Despina
View post →When Ronnie and I took a class out to the West Coast this past July we were down by Fisherman’s Wharf for the Fourth of July. There was a band/orchestra that played and performed only Michael Jackson music. This lady and her dog were dancing to the music all day long. This drawing has two […]
View post →Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.
View post →Took this drawing I made of an Afro-Cuban band in New Orleans a few years ago and messed around with it in the computer. It was fun to create the brown line and add some music/energy marks in bright colors. This was an awesome band, the old Cuban guys really knew how to create a […]
View post →Barcelona is such a beautifully surreal city. The architect, Antonio Gaudi, helped make it so with his organic, wonderfully undulating architecture. It snakes it’s way around the city and winds up in Park Guell, a massively exotic architectural fantasy land set atop a mountain looking down on Gaudi’s obsession, Sagrada Familia. I enjoyed the magical […]
