View post →The other night I went to a chocolate and wine tasting. Sweet, smokey, citrusy, spicy, peachy, leathery, creamy, gritty, smooooth. Words that sometimes would state the obvious and at other times would awaken the flavor on my taste buds just by reading the words during the tasting. Strange how that works. This is an I-Pad […]

Â It really was funny to me how some people, like this guy, would hang out looking at Perseus very attentively.

View post →The statue of Perseus at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is no longer on view, but I made a pretty lengthy series of drawings of people as they passed him by. I always found it very amusing to watch people in the context of Perseus; how they reacted, or didn’t react, to him […]

View post →Here are 2 women I saw on the street. I enjoy trying to capture a person in a simple ink wash. It forces you to focus on the shape and body language, not the details. Greg Betza ©2013

This scene is after the heavy mast was erected onto the ship, when the crane was dropping cement weights into the hull as ballast. To see more of my reportage […]
