  Painting Process | Apple Store on 5th Avenue, Target Steve Jobs Painting Process | (9)

  Apple's stock finally surpassed the mighty Microsoft, to the chagrin of Steve Ballmer no doubt. But wait, now there is a huge security flaw with the iPad... oh, and Steve Jobs thinks Flash is garbage. And Obama thinks the iPad is a major distraction - he told some recent college grads. All considered, I had little choice but to paint one of New York's most photographed locations. In the picture, Steve Jobs is both the Godfather, and a man with a target on his head. Apple clashes with Flash, and is singled out by the President. ...

  Tales From the Street | Friends, Coffee, Colored Rats General Action | (1)

  Day four of my Apple Store painting was eventful, and full of visits. Friend and collector Howard, founder of the Hakker Film Festival, snapped theses photos on the sly. Fortunately, it makes me look like I am working hard. Pictured in the foreground - a couple about to make out. Tongues. Swirling. Furiously. After the jump... more sly photos, and two pictures of the famous rat whisperer. Continue Reading...

  Painting Process | Apple Store 5th Avenue Days 1, 2 and 3 Painting Process | (1)

  Sometimes you pick the subject, and sometimes the subject picks you. Steve Jobs' incendiary Flash missive and the resulting headlines pointed my easel toward the Apple Store, on 59th Street. This picture, as mentioned in my last update, is both a work in progress and an exploration of refining the unfinished. I'm not sure who this gentleman is, but, it is almost impossible to take a photograph of the Apple Store without someone walking by. This is my vantage point from across the street, in front of the fountain by the Plaza Hotel (of Home Alone 2, Lost in New York ...

  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....
