There is now, officially, a Borbay newsletter… if you’d like to join, please do. Enjoy!
1. Michael Jackson, Inc. is #1…
In Business and Leadership titles, according to Amazon. For those of you who don’t know, my painting is featured on the cover. But wait! There’s more news about Zack O’Malley Greenburg’s second book:
- Photos from the book launch party at Forbes HQ;
- Michael Jackson, Inc. featured by USA Today with King and Clinton.
2. Tony Soprano
We find them loathsome and sociopathic, yet lovable. They are the Antiheroes at the center of Television’s Second Golden Age… and my third portrait series. The fourth subject? ‘The Sad Clown’ portrayed by a ‘260 pound Woody Allen’ — Tony Soprano. The “Fat F@$%in crook from New Jersey” joins Walter White, Tony Montana and Dexter Morgan. Coming up next? Don Draper.

3. Life Isn’t Sheep
My Memorial Day was spent celebrating life in Central Park, painting on Sheep Meadow. It was a beautiful day to reflect on the heroes, friends and family, who make our freedom possible.
4. Time is Worth it
A gentleman recently inquired: “do artists offer payment plans for pieces… and if not… why?” A fabulous question and one I hear often, so I decided to answer with “Buying Art Over Time? Absolutely”. In this game, time doesn’t necessarily kill deals… but it does make them more expensive. On the subject of art business:
- The nuances behind The Art of the Art Deal;
- Consider a Studio Visit — Experience, Understand, Acquire;
- Pricing can seem arbitrary, so here’s a Contemporary Art Pricing Guide.
5. Step Up Your Instagram Game
Advice I received from friend and fellow artist Jeremy Penn — so, I did. One great problem with being present online is this — too many options. So, for now, I’m focusing on Instagram for visuals, thoughts and linkage on Twitter, and sharing my deep dark secrets on Facebook… for those who have a fan page, you know why.
