Every year in New York City’s Union Square, there is a massive holiday market. Made this drawing a couple of weeks ago, when the construction was in full swing. Posted by Veronica

View post →Another drawing of Mr. Gandhi at Union Square. Many items will often be placed in Mr. Gandhi’s arms: flowers, pizza containers, etc.. On Sunday there was a bouquet of sunflowers placed in a Starbuck’s plastic coffee cup. There was some water placed in the cup to feed the sunflowers. This was placed on Gandhi’s right […]
View post →I happened to be in Union Square on Sunday, August 9th. It was the one year anniversary of the black, unarmed teenager Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Missouri. A group gathered to talk about the death and the death of many others involving the police. The man on the left in the drawing lost two […]
View post →I love to check out the Gandhi statue in Union Square. I was there the other day and decided it had been awhile since I drew Mr. Gandhi, so I decided to draw him, Sunflowers and all! Margaret Hurst
View post →Another May Day Union Square drawing. As I talked about before I was a little surprised, but not, that there were so many different issues being brought to light. Truthfully, one issue usually relates to at least one or more other issues, and this protest proved that! M_Hurst

Peacefully. It was May Day! This is the exodus of the multiple groups as they headed east and downtown after listening to […]
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 →I stood out in the freezing cold last night, and did this drawing. The holiday market is one of New York City’s great traditions and it really marks the beginning of the holiday season. With over 100 vendors in white tents, there is sure to be something there for every taste. For more information, click […]

View post →Joe Ades, known as the “Gentleman Peeler” (because of his fine suits and British accent I presume) was a fixture in Union Square Greenmarket where he would sell $5 carrot/potato peelers. Our meeting was a funny one. I sat in front and drew him as he asked me nicely (then not so nicely) to get […]
