Painting From Cabana 119, Surrender, Las Vegas at The Encore Painting Process | Comments
Upon finishing the Four Queens on Fremont Street, we banged over to The Encore for a six hour live painting session at Surrender. We began at 10PM and painted until 4AM. Rocking out from our private cabana, it was VIP Vegas, and it was spectacular. A sweet snap by Bryan Schnitzer who was capturing the evening... Ari Lankin and yours truly... working it poolside. After the jump... more Vegasness. Continue Reading...

Barelesque Las Vegas, Live Auction, The Gazillionaire, BCEFA Painting Process | Comments
Thanks to the wonderful and talented Paula Caselton and Jerry Mitchell — Ari Lankin, Paul Zepeda and yours truly were invited to live paint at Broadway Bares Las Vegas. 2012's edition entitled "Barelesque" was a sexy, rollicking good time. While the finest performers in Las Vegas shook their money makers on-stage, we had 45 minutes to create a painting from the aisles. Immediately upon completion, Absinthe's stars The Gazillionaire and Penny Pibbets auctioned our works. Carson Kressley won my painting, Tia Carrere nabbed Zepeda's and Ari's went to a pair of gallerists. After the jump... sheer awesome madness under the sexy lights at ...

Borbay and Lankin Paint Live at Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece in Manhattan General Action, Painting Process | Comments
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 ...
