Central Park En Plein Air, The Guggenheim and The Carlyle Painting Process | Comments
Spring is springing, and so, the outdoor painting season has begun! To kick things off, I decided to paint The Guggenheim and The Carlyle. Enjoy the video above, and a few process snaps along the way. Also, if you have the time, watch the video twice... first looking at the canvas, next, the background. People in motion. Starting with the Guggenheim? Yes please. But, it's important to mention, this is not one of my Guggenheim For 20 Years paintings... Continue Reading...

Collectors Notice, Now Accepting Las Vegas Location Commissions General Action | Comments
Greetings and Happy Friday! Last year I had a bunch of collectors ask why they didn't know I was going to Las Vegas... so here is a friendly heads-up. I'll be returning to Sin City from April 14th-23rd. The beautiful people at Broadway Bares, invited us to create for their charity event at Planet Hollywood, so we decided to make a trip out of it. During my stay, I'll have the bandwidth to take on 1-2 commissioned works. If you are interested, here are a few important links: Commission/Acquisition Process Last Years Recap I'll be traveling with artists Ari Lankin and Paul Zepeda — ...

Serial Optimist Interview With Borbay General Action | Comments
Check out this in-depth interview with The Serial Optimist. Here's a few clips to whet your palette: "It was an auspicious start; I swapped a small collage for a bag of Cheetos." "Artistically, Fairey and Banksy are clever, the latter so much so, he invented Brainwash to sell more of his own work under a different brand." "… my buds Don Draper, Dexter Morgan, Sawyer; selling brands, cutting up bodies and saying sonofabitch for hours on end — we toil together." Thank you David Dean for an awesome interview in advance of Big Lobby Art.

Sometimes Good Things Happen, Via Facebook, Rangers VS. Devils, Take That Slapshot General Action | Comments
So I post on Facebook this evening that I want to see the Rangers game; last minute, of course. Moments later, friend, teammate and social maverick Brian Ries (yes, that Brian) responds, after some trepidation over clothing... "let's do it." Quickly abandoning my stoic elliptical workout, it became a classic (not tired) Ferris type of rush to the bar for a shot and a beer (I literally ran from 42nd and Park), followed by a second effort to Madison Square Garden. We get there only to be held up in the underbelly of the MSG beast, waiting for the National Anthem to majestically ...

Painting Process Adam Kesher Theroux From Mulholland Drive Painting Process | Comments
Justin Theroux as Adam Kesher from Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. That's all you really need to know... huge fan of the actor, character, movie and director.

Downend, Jr. and Ahmed Mahmoud. And the source... manipulated. After the jump, the process... the history of the world painting in phone numbers photos. Continue Reading...

California High School Art Students Create Borbay Inspired Art Academia, Collaboration | Comments
Take a look at this beautiful video created by talented artist and teacher Lora Sanders. Each year Lora's students create work in the Borbay style, using my online process as a guideline. The video tells the tale... so I'll let it do the talking. I continue to be impressed (and flattered) by the work her students create. It's exciting and important to be involved with art education. Here's a big thank you to Lora Sanders, and my best wishes to another exciting wave of artists.

The Butcher, Now Playing at NiteHawk Cinema in Brooklyn Coming Soon | Comments
What do I have in common with Ed Helms besides a love for Vegas? We are both showing at Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn. DailyMotion has an innovative new program, where they curate short films to play between features at Nitehawk. I'm pleased to announce, my Bill The Butcher Day Lewis painting process is now on the big screen. It looks like a field trip to 136 Metropolitan Avenue is in order. Who wants to catch a film, while eating and sipping a cocktail without the brown bag? Finally, big shout to Mike Jaggerr for the dope beats, check him out!
