  Coming Up Next: Brad Pitt From Snatch, aka Pikey Pitt General Action | (0)

  Coming up next, in what is becoming my "actors in movies I love being bad-ass and, thus far, all wearing hats" series — Brad Pitt in Snatch. Here is the cropped-to-frame, digitally altered image which will serve as the composition. Mr. Pitt — aka, Pikey Pitt (and yes, I realize "Pikey" is a naughty word, but in the context of the film, it works, so it too shall work in the context of this painting) will be the second piece in this series. Pitt joins Depp in Fear and Loathing. Stand by for the emergence of this new painting.

  When Profiling is Good: A Shout From Fellow Artist Ryan Seslow General Action | (1)

  Fellow artist and Iona College Professor, Ryan Seslow (pictured with artist Paul Zepeda) was kind enough to feature yours truly in an artist profile. Incidentally, the picture above is apropos, as I met both of these gentlemen through Twitter. We are now friends, colleagues and collaborators in real life. So, you heard it here first 5,469th = it's cool to make friends through Twitter. In fact, Seslow and I will be showing together at Iona College this January. A formal announcement will go out soon, but here's a sneak peak of the event postcard (thank you Madalyn Barbero Jordan.) Here's looking forward ...

  Coming Up Next, Two Portraits, One Person — Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson General Action | (0)

  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 | (2)

  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.

  Great GOOP ARTicle Missing Massive Message General Action, Thinking Out Loud | (0)

  My wife Erin passed along this newsletter entitled "Decorating with Contemporary Art" from Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP. Written by Maria Brito, there are numerous fantastic points, but there is one critical avenue for collecting art noticeably absent — direct-to-artist. Here are a few of my thoughts in-line with the newsletter... Continue Reading...

  Artist In The World, Never Ending Art Trip, Borbay in the Studio Collaboration, General Action | (2)

  A few days ago, artist and photographer André Smits stopped by the studio to take my portrait... from behind. I am now part of his global art project entitled: "Artists In The World". André and I got connected through my good friends over at Happy Famous Artists — which is how Mr. Smits has been finding all of his artists, not through a list, but through word of mouth. This is a great series, and I highly recommend checking out the photographs... definitely a new and interesting take. Continue Reading...

  Borbay’s Advertising Week Commission, As Seen in Bloomberg’s Business Week, AdWeek and Fast Company Collage, General Action, Painting Process | (1)

  Recently, I was commissioned by the fine folks at Advertising Week to create a Manhattan-centric collage-painting for their 8th Anniversary. To promote Advertising Week, they created an ad featuring my painting, which can be found in Bloomberg's Business Week, AdWeek and Fast Company. If you take a moment to view the video above, you will see my creative process for this work from start to finish. I've also created a detailed blog post, including still photographs.
