  Starworks Group Interview: 7 Questions With Borbay General Action | (0)

  Seven questions and seven answers with the Starworks Group — here's a taste: "It’s bigger than a Bible/Phonebook lovechild (was that wrong?), but this long-form blueprint for professional artists was worth it — Two Times." Get "creative and quirky" with the full interview here, as well as Starworks Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo and homepage. Big thanks to Melissa and the entire Starworks team.

  Painting Process | Marilyn Monroe, Andy Would Understand Painting Process | (3)

  A few years back, I was strolling along Madison Avenue when I happened upon an "up-scale" thrift store. There, perched high upon the wall was Blue Marilyn by Andy Warhol — a 25.5"X25.25" reproduction shimmering in the low light. After no small amount of negotiations,  $125 later I found myself with a fake Andy tucked under my arm, but six blocks from his old townhouse on Lex and 89th. Over the past two years, as my painting career developed, this print migrated from front-and-center in the living room, to the bedroom, and finally to a stack of canvases in the corner. ...

  Larchmont-Mamaroneck Patch, “Larchmont Flag House Rendered by Professional Location Artist” General Action | (0)

  The Larchmont-Mamaroneck Patch wrote a terrific piece on my current series of commissioned architectural portraits of the Hoffman "Flag House" Estate in Larchmont. Writer Max Frankel stopped by while I was setting up for painting number two, and we had the opportunity to chat on the deck about the project in length. Here is a sample of the article, please do click-through to see the piece in its entirety: "Hoffman describes Borbay’s work as “Warholesque”—perhaps for his pop culture influence—except with more “continuity and optimism.”"

  Warhol Portrait Auctions for 38.4MM: Market Perspective For Collectors Thinking Out Loud | (0)

  New York, NY - May 12, 2011 — Last night, a four panel (40"X32" collectively) self-portrait of Andy Warhol auctioned at Christie's for $38.4 Million Dollars. This, of course, is an impressive sum for a piece of art. In fact, to put this in perspective, here is a Warholian chart outlining what you could get for this one painting (click image to enlarge): That's right. Own one Warhol portrait, or sit down for 153,600 steak dinners for two at Peter Luger's; buy 2,560 Pro Sub-Zero Fridges; put 480 Porsche 911's in the garage; or settle-down in an apartment nearly 8 times ...

  Warhol’s Old Haunt Max’s Kansas City Gives Jeremy Penn a Shout Featured Artist | (0)

  Artist Jeremy Penn received a nice shout from the re-emerging Max's Kansas City, check it out. Penn also recently redesigned his website, which I highly recommend visiting. About Max's: In 1965, the world was introduced to Max's Kansas City, a social club and melting pot for the creative world's most talented and revolutionary personalities. Now considered one of New York City's most important cultural landmarks, Max's played host to and launched the careers of countless stars in art, music, and fashion-everyone from Andy Warhol and Betsey Johnson to Lou Reed and Debbie Harry.

  Rest In Peace Elaine Kaufman You Are Missed General Action | (1)

  The emails began flooding my inbox — Elaine Kaufman, the beloved proprietor of Elaine's had passed away. Moving into my 386 square foot "two bedroom" Upper East Side apartment in January 2004, I was riding high on a Woody Allen kick. Imagine my surprise when, after watching Manhattan, I walked two blocks and found Elaine's. At the time, the warm inviting glow was too intimidating for me to step up to the bar — I was 23, and Elaine's is designed to steer the young rabble-rousers to O'Briens... Continue Reading...

  Painting Party on Smashed Quads With Meathooks General Action | (2)

  For the past five days, I have been in Providence celebrating the life with paint, a 2.9 mile fun run ("fun" used loosely for yours truly) and, for sure, a few cocktails. It was a delight to catch up with my good pal Paul Ryan (pictured above)... after the jump, a recap of a long weekend. Continue Reading...

  Status Update From The Easel of Borbay General Action | (1)

  Being a street artist, now that my leg is unbroken, it's time to hit the streets. This summer, I will be creating a series of 30"X30" collage paintings focusing on two concepts: The Void, and being "Inside The Box", aka, the Anti-Graffiti. My first work of street art will be The Apple Store in Midtown (above.) This location was chosen by the headlines, Steve Jobs, his thoughts on Flash, and my past as a business director for an agency built upon their landmark work in Flash. More after the jump....
