A Tale of Two Sahara’s, ala Vintage Las Vegas

I ran my first (and only) marathon in Las Vegas. We celebrated Erin’s 30th Birthday in Sin City. Since 2011, I’ve painted in the land of neon seven times.

So, you can imagine the stoke factor, when Kevin Barry Fine Art commissioned me to paint The Sahara — two times!

Atomic Liquors En Plein Vegas Air

Atomic Liquors is the oldest freestanding bar in Las Vegas, with liquor license #0001. Back in the day, folks would head up to the roof with a cocktail to watch the nukes go boom in the horizon about 50 miles away. That seems dangerous to me, but I carry a cell phone in my front pocket — so what do I know? This baby has been featured in scores of movies… and is flat out one of the best damn neon signs in the world.

Here is a snap of the glorious sign, lit-up beautifully, on a warm Vegas night.

Painting of Insert Coins in Downtown Las Vegas

It was back to Vegas… and this time, I decided to paint Insert Coins (which is so hot right now). It took three short sessions, one bloody finger and many adult beverages… but I got the job done.

Borbay and Lankin Paint Live at Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece in Manhattan

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.
