American Gothic Neon — A New Look at a Classic

Back in my NYC advertising days, I met a talented creative director by the name of David. We stayed in touch when I moved out West… and, in following my career, he was kind enough to introduce me to his good Jackson Hole-based friends — the Faupel’s.

Matt, Julie and yours truly struck-up a conversation… and decided to collaborate on a commission. We wanted something that embraced classic Americana, but with a contemporary touch. So, what better to create than a neon version of Grant Wood’s “American Gothic”?

Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival QuickDraw 2022

For the fifth time in five years, I joined 29 fabulous artist’s on Town Square to participate in the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival QuickDraw. The rules? Artist’s may complete their works to 25% in advance of the event… at precisely 8:00AM, a horn blows, and we have 90-minutes to create.

Immediately upon completion — the works are live-auctioned in front of a live audience. Stressful? Invigorating? Exhausting? All of this, and more.

Gratis Shipping Until November 15th

Inflation is upon us, and I’ve taken note. Last month, I shipped a painting — the timeline for delivery (and price) doubled! Nevertheless, around the holidays, I love to take care of my collectors… so, until November 15th — I’m offering free global shipping on existing work.

As for commissions? I am signing contracts through the end of the year, but will not be available to begin new works until February/March 2022.

Thank you for the love and support through, yet, another unusual year.

TWIN PEAKS SAN FRANCISCO — A Brendan Ben Feeney Collaboration

Twin Peaks Painting by Borbay

I’m honored and delighted to share the commissioned collaboration between yours truly, and artist extraordinaire — Brendan Ben Feeney. I met BBF on Twitter many years ago… in fact, he was kind enough to send Erin and I a photograph for our wedding back in 2011.

As time developed, so too did our friendship and admiration for one another. When Ben reached out with his idea, I couldn’t wait to begin our Twin Peaks collaboration.

“I’m gonna drop the Gugg in front of the Tetons, and live paint the eclipse at 9,095′ in Jackson Hole.” Wait, what?
