Neon Marilyn Painting by Borbay
“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” — Andrew Warhola, aka, Andy Warhol.
This is my favorite Warhol quote. His mission to put a Warhol in every home, coupled with his desire for luxury proved a recipe for timeless success.
Having Marilyn at our dinner table for nearly 20 years — it was a must-add to my Re-Mastered series. And friend — Marilyn was begging for neon.

Here is the entire process with a voice over by yours truly. I channeled the Micromachine man. Remember that guy?
The Neon Guggenheim, aka Guggenheim #8 of 20
In the summer of 2009, I painted the Guggenheim on a 30″X30″ canvas and practically sold it on the street. In 2010, I longed to paint the Gugg once more… but it felt wrong. Opportunistic.
Unless? I wondered… if I made a more serious commitment. And with that, I decided to paint a 30″X30″ Guggenheim, each summer, for 20 years. Today, I’m proud to share Guggenheim #8 — “The Neon Guggenheim”. Fittingly, this painting will debut at The National Arts Club in November, for the Accessible Art Fair.
MH the Verb sent me “Good Morning”, and, well, I couldn’t cut a single beat… so this video is long, strong and down to put the acrylic on. From MH, “‘Good Morning‘ perfectly exemplifies the collaborative style ArtHouse95 is all about. I produced the track featuring live bass from engineer, Dave Humes and layered drums. It’s pure Hip Hop… digging crates for the perfect sample, chopping the jazzy groove, and linking with two of Philadelphia’s most lyrical emcees – Drusef and Mic Stew. We wrote the song during a cloudy studio session a couple years ago while reflecting on our daily grind and ambition as artists. The homie, Kuf Knotz even had to make a guest appearance at the end. Overall, when the beat drops after the intro, you can feel the energy build… I just can’t wait for people to hear what comes next.
Enjoy… and do read on for an unusual painting recap.
