Working your way through portrait defining headlines can be a daunting task.
For this to-be-painted Jay Z, I sifted through 20 New York Posts looking for the right words… direct and abstract. After posting last nights blog and this picture on Twitter, fellow artist and self-described G-E-N-I-U-S William Powhida had the following comments: “terrible” “vapid” “promo” “self-promo”… and on to the critique: “aggressive” “ad”.
Check his work and see why I found this critique inspirational.

Another newsletter? You got that right. I'll honor and respect your inbox, as if it were my own. I endeavor to share everything happening at Borbay Studios & Gallery. No daily updates. No weekly updates. Simply a message, every month or two... updates on life, creativity, and the journey that began on July 2, 2009. Let's be in touch, as the first leg of my quest reaches completion in 2026. From a studio in my 600-foot Upper East Side apartment living room, to a museum collection. Oh, but friend, that is just the beginning. The road is long, and I am looking for cool, sophisticated company to navigate each challenging turn.
You're here, and I love you for it.
Join me. Let's do this together.
