BORBAY

Tis’ the season for nominations, awards and shameless self promotion. First up: ArtistsWanted Portrait competition:

“You are invited to participate in “The Power of Self” an international competition celebrating the vitality of self portraiture. A panel of judges including actor Steve Buscemi, director Chris Weitz, Guggenheim curator Helen Hsu and Flavorpill founder Sascha Lewis will award one artist a package of incredible prizes including six months of free living at The Edge in New York City or $7007 in cash. The most popular portfolio as voted by the public will also receive $1,000 cash. Your images have power. Now is your moment to reveal them to the world.”

If you would like to cast your vote, please click this link and/or the picture above, scroll down and click on the stars. After the jump, more hot items.

It’s always nice to receive an unsolicited nomination, and such is the case with the Shorty Awards. If you are on Twitter and feel that my Twitter contributions were nomination worthy, please click here and/or on the photo above and cast your vote.

The opportunity to showcase my painting in the hallowed pages of The New Yorker proved too tempting, and thus, my Eustace Tilley. You can click on the picture below and/or the link here to check it out, comments are always appreciated.

And of course, Urbania is this coming Wednesday, January 20th, 2010. Please feel free to click the poster above and/or this link to see the official Urbania Facebook page. Two paintings have pre-sold – if you would like to snag a picture before it is sold, check out the gallery here, and contact the Borbay Business team. Happy Friday.
