A page out of my sketch pad. Ink and Pencil: Eddie Peña
View post →Irish, Greek. What’s the difference right? Here’s a bit of green for the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day from the famous olive tree of Vouves in Crete. It would’ve been even greener if it wasn’t for the rare heavy snow from this past winter that broke off many of its branches. Gotta love climate change! […]
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 →This is a drawing of some of the people who work in the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot Center at Disney World. They were standing in various places around the pavilion so I went around to draw each them and designed them on the same page. The Chinese Pavilion is an amazing place to draw people […]
View post →While on a recent trip to Crete I went to see the tree that is said to be between 3,000 and 5,000 years old. It is scientifically impossible to accurately date olive trees because they lose their “heartwood” and do not have rings to count. But many scientists agree that the tree in Vouves, Crete […]
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 missed the incredible opportunity to visit and draw Mystic Seaport last weekend with the Dalvero Academy. So “in spirit” I thought I’d post a Sunday morning reportage drawing I did in a beautiful New England neighboring town last fall. – Michele Drawing of Newport Harbor, Rhode Island

View post →Prometheus, the Greek Titan, gave the gift of fire to mankind! On these very, very, very, cold days I would like to thank Prometheus for the gift of fire! Stay warm everyone! Prometheus says “hi!” from Rockefeller Center! Margaret Hurst
View post →This has been noted as the coldest day of the year, OMG!!! is it cold! I dream of days past drawing on location in Epcot when the most layers needed was a tank top and shorts. Above is a pen and ink drawing done in the China pavilion while sitting on a bench enjoying […]
View post →Last week’s Art Challenge, or as i like to refer to it, Art Fiesta, was a great experience. It was wonderful to see the work of fellow artists; work I have never seen, or work from long ago! It was a truly positive and rewarding experience on both a personal and an artist level. I […]
View post →I made this portrait of my son as he was reading. When I finished I looked at it and I didn’t see the six year old James, I saw what I believe he will look like in 10 years. Now I have to try not to blink or else the years will go by just […]
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 →This is a drawing of the actual space shuttle Discovery. The shuttle is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. I’ve never been much into air & space, but when you’re in the presence of a shuttle, a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, a Concorde, and the Enola […]
