diversity illustration cover

A few months back I was commissioned to create illustrations for the Walgreens Boots Alliance‘s 2018-19 Diversity & Inclusion Report. The title All Together. Different. Considering the current state of the world, it was a very timely commission. I’m often asked to create montages and this project was certainly no different. Five montage illustrations showing […]

I’ve been looking for more opportunities to create animated content and happily I received an email from the Washington Post asking for just such a thing 🙂 People are having difficulty, naturally, furnishing their homes during the pandemic. So we decided to show a room coming together piece by piece, hoping it all comes together. […]

A few years ago a close friend and colleague approached me with the opportunity to illustrate a book of short stories that he had written. Mario, the author and friend, is one of the most ambitious and impressive people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. If he proposes a project it WILL come […]

Last month I visited New Orleans and had a chance to spend two nights on Frenchman Street in the world famous French Quarter. Frenchman Street is famous for its eclectic mix of live music happening nightly, late into the night. Perfect for me to put the kids to bed and get out to experience the […]

Happy New Year!I apologize, it’s been a while since my last post. It’s been one of those times in an illustrator’s career where all of the projects you’re working on are confidential. In other words, you’re super busy but you can’t tell anyone. Luckily I can finally talk about one of them! So for my […]

jail violence by greg betza

I was asked to illustrate another piece about the explosion of violence in the California jail system. Rather than choose a specific incident to illustrate I decided to created an image to symbolize all of the victims. Below are the sketches I submitted. They appreciated the variety, and I appreciated that. I’ve included some process […]

A few months ago I was asked to create the 2018 cover for the Edelman citizenship report, an annual report of sorts. The cover had to encompass the 4 main principles of their corporate culture: community, people, world, and clients. After a few sketches were worked over the final color version was created. The 4 […]

Last night’s fashion drawing session with @bildonovan @soi128 @offenbad
Views from my home yesterday.
If you watched my #igtv vid, here is the finished #drawing
My first #drawingvideo on Instagram. Full disclosure, this is sped up 😉 I can draw fast but not that fast. Swipe for the finished #drawing
“1-minutes” are what these short poses are sometimes called. They’re great for capturing body language and design. What I find is that they tend to be honest and instinctual. Less time to think and only time to react. It’s great exercise for the mind and hand.
Happy New Year!
