Coming Up Next, Two Portraits, One Person — Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson General Action | Comments
If watching the same movie 100 times a year indicates brain damage, color me cracked. One of my favorite all-time book/movie combinations is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Since I watch movies all day as I paint, I felt it was time to make the connection on canvas. Short story long, I'm capturing two gents I greatly admire and respect: Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson, in one image. Above is the photo I took of the movie, paused, slightly skewed on my 40" Samsung. Here is the cropped-to-frame, Photoshop edited source image for the painting. It will be in ...

MOMA, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Football on Short Beach General Action | Comments
Photographing someone watching someone else photograph Starry Night. Seven eyeballs, four lenses, one picture. If I hear, "this could look good in the foyer" — I am thinking business card; with apologies to Ryan Gander. Rocks were skipped. Footballs were tossed. Three places photographed, here in one place.

Painting Process A Portrait of My Minnesota Bride Painting Process | Comments
Getting married was the finest experience of my life... and it has everything to do with my bride — Erin.

I couldn't think of a better moment to capture than this image of my wife smiling in the backyard where she grew up and where we were married. Here is the process video for this canvas, and below, the source image which was taken by the talented George Flowers. After the jump, photos of the process along the way. Continue Reading...

Borbay Paints Two Pictures at Disney’s Festival of the Masters Presented by Michaels Collaboration, Painting Process | Comments
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of representing ARTPROV at Disney's Festival of the Masters, presented by Michaels. I was commissioned to paint two 24"X36" canvases: one a compilation of the six, live 20-minute ARTPROV shows; the other — a parkscape of Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island. This video recaps the painting of six ARTPROV sessions... you can see the on-stage action in the background. And my Parkscape. After the jump, my painting process for both canvases, in order, as they were created — simultaneously... as well as some other Orlando action. Continue Reading...
