  Painting Process | FlyNY Cityscape and Kite Plein Air Painting, Event Pictures Painting Process | (3)

  FlyNY 2010 was a kite flying good times. In yet another "shake your head at this modern world" moment, I met FlyNY's publicist Rachel Wells via Twitter. She then attended Painting Resurrected in May, my group show with Jeremy Penn and Ari Lankin. There, she met one of my hockey teammates Dave, that I myself had not yet met myself due to my broken leg. They have since stayed in touch, and through Rachel, I found out about FlyNY and decided to paint the event. Short story long, real people do exist on the internets. Now, down to business. After the ...

  The New York Post – My Inspiration In Attempted Viral Video Format General Action | (0)

  When I spotted this doozy on Gawker, I had to share. While crass, this Jordan Carlos joint does illustrate my reasoning for using New York Post headlines in my artwork (see the Guggenheim below). Topical, from my About page: His work is comprised of collaged New York Post headlines, and layer upon layer of acrylic paint. Driven to capture the actuality of society, this series visually displays the paradox of love, lust, murder, sex, sports, betrayal, triumph, religion, rape and politics in one place… concepts any person reading a daily newspaper will see juxtaposed without a ...

  Kanye West Portrait Music Video Drops, Fans Have Broner General Action | (0)

  There are numerous advantages to being Kanye West. First, everything you say and tweet will be analyzed to pieces. Second, you can have someone draw you standing there and make a whole music video out of it. Ah, the wonderful world of Kanye. Now is this in fact a portrait? I would say yes, yes it is. Of course, video art is considered the hotness these days... so why wouldn't Kanye jump on the train and take it for a Kanye-centric ride? Some fans think this video should end up in the MOMA. My thoughts? Who cares. If Tim Burton can ...

  Painting Process | Guggenheim Redux – Target Tony Hayward Painting Process | (13)

  At this point, I am just going to say it - I  like the Guggenheim. Following my recent paintings of the Apple Store, Museum of Art and Design and First Avenue - Minneapolis, I decided to take my New York Post collage work to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece. About 20% of the people who actually go into the Guggenheim stop by to look at my painting. For all intent and purpose, I am only about 150 feet away and ten years (or less) from a sizable pay grade increase. The original Guggenheim painting (above) was sold to a collector in Milan. After ...

  Quotes From The Streets – Why You Hatin’ on Frank Lloyd Wright? General Action | (3)

  Being street artist often invites comments, conversations, unsolicited photographs and strange happenings. Here are a few tales, varying from pimpin to poopin to paint by numbers. Enjoy. Hatin' on Frank During the early stages of my current Guggenheim Painting, a guy wearing a backpack dropped this one on me: Him: “Yo, yo, who did dis.” Me: “The painting or the building?” Him: “Building.” Me: “It was architected by Frank Lloyd Wright.” Him: “Word. Word. So yo. Why you hatin’ on Frank Lloyd Wright?” - After the jump, shitty sidewalks, paint by numbers and a whole lot more. Continue Reading...

  Guggenheim Status Shot, Night Time Socializing, Minnesota General Action | (1)

  The Guggenheim is progressing nicely... It's been a busy week. My Apple Store painting was shipped to a collector in Japan. I'm happy to report there are four other paintings in contract, and I am waiting to hear back on a major corporate commission. On the social scene, artist Jeremy Penn and me attended the Skin Cancer Foundation's "A Night The Stars Shine On" this week at the Central Park Boathouse. Here is a shot of us, Jeremy rocking the Blue Steel. Photo courtesy of the New York Social Diary. Finally, Erin and I are heading to Minnesota this weekend for the ...

  Painting Process | Guggenheim Redux Day 1 Painting Process | (4)

  The Guggenheim is a special building. In fact, it was my first professional on-location work. After finishing paintings of the Apple Store and Museum of Art and Design, I decided it was time to take my New York Post collage work to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece. The original Guggenheim painting was sold to a collector in Milan. After the jump, the first steps towards a newer, more verbose Guggenheim. 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....
