New work

Bowdoin Magazine

Greg Betza had a great collaboration with the team at Bowdoin Magazine on 2 illustrations for their Fall issue.

He was asked to illustrate the story of Bowdoin alum Ed Burton who searches for American soldiers who never came home. Whether POW or lost in battle his research has brought closure to countless families.

The opening spread and spot are below.

Greg Betza for The Guardian

I was given my first commission for The Guardian last week. The article titled Could Microsoft’s climate crisis ‘moonshot’ plan really work? was certainly a challenge to illustrate, but when the solution finally comes together it really is that much more fulfilling. Basically, Microsoft has pledged to go carbon negative by 2030, and this article delves into the science and tech that they hope will help them achieve this noble goal.
Here is a link to the article: Could Microsoft’s climate crisis ‘moonshot’ plan really work? and below are the illustrations in context as well as some sketches to show the process. And larger versions of the finals are in there too if you want a closer look.

New work

illustration for CPBI

Below is an illustration I recently completed for the Canadian Pension & Benefits Institute. It was a challenging piece as the subject matter was quite complex and relatively unfamiliar to me, BUT I enjoy the challenging pieces best. I love to learn when I work. For this piece, I was asked to illustrate the history of the pension and benefits industry in Canada.
