MH the Verb‘s new album, “The Balloon Guide”, drops February 11, 2014 — I painted the cover. If you’d like to keep reading, I’ll share how this project came to be creatively; and I’ll include the business details.

Walter White, I Am The One Who Knocks, by Borbay
Visiting some galleries in late 2012 with his Wife Marla, a gentleman by the name of Robert Oringer who never considered himself an art guy/collector, had an epiphany moment. He saw some collage art and it got him thinking about the crazy collection of NY Post issues he had amassed over decades— piles of NY Posts meticulously protected and stored away without any objective in mind. So he went to Google and began to search the Net for collage artists, one perhaps to convert his collection into art when he stumbled upon another Post fanatic… yours truly.
55 West 11th Street, A Commissioned Painting
I’m delighted to share my first completed painting of 2014: a commission of 55 West 11th Street in Manhattan. Ironically enough, I painted this in Minnesota.
ARTPROV at the Cancer Support Community of Southern Connecticut Gala
Last night the ARTPROV team jumped into our trusty limo mini-van and set course for Connecticut. Our destination? The Second Annual Gala of the Cancer Support Community of Southern Connecticut emceed by New 12 Connecticut Anchor Gillian Neff at The Waterview. Major bonus? A slide show on mitochondria by Thomas Lynch, MD (not literally).
Fam — a Portrait of Olympian Anthony Famiglietti
Creative collaboration is nourishment for the soul. So, when writer Duncan Larkin proposed we team-up for a series of ART-icles (horrible pun) on his resurrected Roads Mills Laps or RML blog, I was in. As it happens, his first subject is Olympian and Reckless Running brand ambassador Anthony Famiglietti — someone I’ve known and respected since 1992.
Minnesota, Neil’s, Patch, Heavy, More
It’s Halloween, and here is what’s happening in my world… I’m back from Minnesota, and working on a new canvas… Neil’s Coffee Shop. It will join my growing ‘Back to the Futurism’ series. In fact, I’ve painted Neil’s before, but from a different angle and style.
Grain Belt Beer Sign Painting, A Minnesota Landmark
Standing on Nicollet Island in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a legend. Built in 1941, the Grain Belt Beer Sign has been through a great deal… moving, going dark, being sold, vandalized, trivialized, lionized — and even more words with ized’ attached.
Painting Process, A Portrait of Deborah Paul
I’m delighted to share my commissioned portrait of Deborah Paul. I met Deborah three years ago on the Upper East Side while painting on the street. We stayed in touch, and last year, Deborah acquired my Guggenheim 4.
Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town Fountain Painting
Life has been busy in our new hood… Coraline was born here on July 28th, and today, I finally got around to some Stuytown painting action. Many years ago, my great Uncle Mike lived here — such is the case, my Mom has fond memories of the Fountain — so what better to capture on a fine Saturday afternoon?
