Spring is upon us…and I’m sure I speak for you all when I say it feels quite different this year. Instead of bursting out of our homes to enjoy the warmer weather, blossoming plants and blooming flowers, we’re shut in, afraid to breathe the fresh air, especially if anyone is within 6 feet of that […]

Got caught daydreaming, time passes by a little quicker than we sometimes realize. Here’s to finding time the rest of the week for some daydreaming and thumbnailing the next project.—Dominick

A long time ago I was advised to put a clip on whatever didn’t quite make sense at the time and save it for further review at a later date. Put it under the bed. Pulling from a small stack on my table I realize there are more choices about than seem evident these days. […]

Found a stack of sketches from a few years ago that I didn’t remember making. The project has always stayed close to my board, but these were an unexpected memory.—Dominick

These little thumbnails were the catalyst for a project that occupied most of my 2018 – an illustrated interactive game wall at the new NYU Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital in New York, working with the talented people at Potion Design; a trip through NYC. This thumbnail was the start of the Central Park game, see the […]

I was very happy to help initiate our new Holiday category on studio1482.com this summer. It meant that I would be searching through and working on some projects that always seem to be in the forefront of my mind for a short but intense period of time but are never allowed the room to come […]

I said I would put down the feather quill but I gave it another shot and made this drawing of a patch of dead echinacea flowers. The constellations of pods are mesmerizing and the textures the various patterns make are so very Fall. Homemade walnut ink and pencil on paper. ~Despina

The tree outside my window is covered with light green “pom-pom” shaped blossoms. I love this time of year. Greg Betza ©2017

Carrying bags in from the car I was shocked to see one lonely crocus in the flowerbeds. Plenty of shoots that do not look as if they will produce any blooms, but right upfront was a sole crocus. All the pics on instagram in the previous weeks had destroyed my hopes that I would find any out front. I figured […]

As the snow attempts to cover the ground before me, I see more than I have seen in years just how little it takes to make such a beautiful view. Minimal color, no leaves waiting to fall—or grow for that matter—just a serene landscape full of so much more than I have seen in seasons past. So as […]

I figured I would close out the next two weeks with a few more autumnal scenes. This morning there are traces of snow left behind by the rain that followed the “overnight hope” of an extended weekend. Winter is bearing down but it is not quite here yet. Whether bitter or a little less brutal, […]

The colors are fading and details are blurring. As Fall comes to a slow end I bear witness to the evolution of seasons, the evolution of time. I mark this moment and look forward to the next.—Dominick
