Dark Skinned Suspect to Show at Artworks ADL Painting Process | Comments
This painting will be part of ArtWorks ADL: Justice, Advocacy & Art ™ exhibition, opening on June 5th. The theme: "Imagine A World Without Hate". While I prefer to let the canvas do the talking, I was encouraged to create an artist statement about this piece: 'A world without hate wouldn't be a world without labels, rather, it would be a world without hateful people. There are good labels, such as, "President of the United States", "The World's Top Golfer", "Sexiest Man Alive", "The Great Emancipator"... then there are hurtful, dangerous, and libelous labels, such as "dark skinned suspect" — the insidious ...

Seattle Space Needle Painting by Borbay Painting Process | Comments
Back in 2007, I was working as a Creative Recruiter at Update Graphics. One day, my colleague Kimberly introduced me to Justin Brock Schantz, then the Managing Director at Fantasy Interactive. Over several months, we got to know one another, and eventually, I ended up joining Justin at FI. Over the years, we've become close, first professionally, now, personally... in fact, I created one of my first cityscape paintings for Justin... the Flatiron Building (below). This past summer, we discussed a second painting: a commission of the Space Needle in Seattle... after numerous meetings, we decided on painting the view from the ...
