  Nail Soup | Borbay Interviewed by Zoë Blackler Press Release | (1)

  Through a contact on Twitter, @Museumnerd, I was put in touch with Zoë Blackler, an English journalist and newcomer to New York. Her new social experiment includes asking strangers through social media to welcome her into their homes and share take-out food. The result of our evening of wine and thai food, is the latest post on her Nail Soup blog. Erin and I had a blast, and strongly encourage you to get in touch with Zoë, a welcome addition to Gotham.

  Painting Process | @CIGARINN Facade Day’s 2 and 3 Painting Process | (1)

  The @CIGARINN facade is making progress. Here is a recap of my previous two sessions, the last of which included a miner's style headlamp. Fashion. Trend. Watch. Thank you to everyone who has come out to visit: my lovely Erin, Pace, Kat, B-Rad, A-Sizzle, Wender and Co. and, of course, the passer's by who make my day 100X more enjoyable with conversation. As always, Bass, Billy and Gus have treated my friends and me like royalty. Process, and nerdy headlamp shots after the jump. Continue Reading...

  Painting Process | @CIGARINN Facade Day One Painting Process | (3)

  As a follow-up to my lounge picture, the Gentlemen at @CIGARINN requested I paint the storefront. I began yesterday with what will amount to, I suspect, a three session piece. Early drawing after the jump. Continue Reading...

  Painting Process | Cigar Inn Midtown Manhattan Painting Process | (7)

  Twitter shall prevail. Through a Follow Friday recommendation from artist extraordinaire @tonyblacknyc, I connected with the @CIGARINN. After viewing their site, I realized this would be a prime storefront to paint - so I sent them an @ reply prior to my departure, noting "look out for a paint splattered guy wearing a white hat." Upon my arrival, Bass, one of the three Fakih brothers (Bass, Gus and Billy) behind the Cigar Inn, was waiting for me. He showed me around, we discussed the business and he graciously offered up any spot I would like to paint inside. After some hard ...

  Painting Process | Elaine’s Upper East Side Painting Process | (9)

  My Saturday night meant painting on the streets of the Upper East Side, drinking cold green tea. In other words - mildly different than my normal Saturday night routine. Ever since I first saw Woody Allen's Manhattan, I was enchanted by this mainstay of illustrious names, drink and cuisine. Over the years, it has become a must visit destination when I am in need of a slice of New York, served over a stiff cocktail. During my last visit to Elaine's with Erin and her Mom, Elaine herself sent over two rounds on the house. As a result, I promised her a ...
