59th Street Apple Store Cubed Being Torn Down… For Good? General Action | (0)
Breaking News! The 59th Street Apple Store Cube is currently being taken down for "renovations". The cube, which I painted last summer, may never be exactly the same. The entire process was captured on this campaign site. Here is a photo from The Gothamist: This is definitely one of the most exciting/interesting aspects of painting on-location; you never know what will be here today, and gone tomorrow. My ESPN Zone painting was completed only months before the Times Square Location was closed forever.

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. ...

Borbay and Lankin Paint Live at Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece in Manhattan General Action, Painting Process | (5)
Our Broadway Bares adventure began when Ari Lankin painted an impromptu tatoo on the arm of a Kriss Angel dancer in front of the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign. They suggested we paint live at Broadway Bares Las Vegas, which we did, at Planet Hollywood. A few weeks back, Ari received a call requesting the live-painting action for the fittingly named "Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece" at the Roseland Ballroom on Father's Day (the Vegas installment was on Easter Sunday). And just like that, it was on. The pictures in this post only begin to capture the energy, eroticism and madness of ...

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.”"

Pop-Up Exhibit For Siwat’s 30th White Party Art Exhibit, Collaboration | (2)
While recently partying with my friends Evan and Kaity, I met a gentleman named Siwat. After a spirited discourse about art and hip hop, we decided to make our friendship Facebook official. Shortly thereafter, Siwat, contacted me about showing some art at his 30th birthday party. It sounded like good ones to me, so I was on board. This past Friday, I hung five collage-paintings to celebrate this important milestone. After the jump, some pictures by the talented Hugo E Juarez of Siwat's White Party (which, incidentally, I showed up in all black for, forgetting it was a white party, so ...

After raising two children over 30 years, the Hoffman family has placed their house on the market. So, being commissioned to paint their storied home — theFlag House in Larchmont, New York was a special project.

If a picture = 1000 words, then a picture with many words ...
