Felix Chevrolet Neon Painting by Borbay

If you find yourself in Los Angeles, head over to 3330 S Figueroa Street at dusk… look upward… and soak in Felix Chevrolet’s majestic sign. If the movies have taught us anything, it’s this — product placements are everywhere. E.T. could have desired M&M’s… but Mars dropped the ball, and he got them Reeses. For headaches, Wayne Campbell prefers Nuprin, for they are, “little, yellow, different.”

Yes, the 80’s, 90’s and today… era’s so ripe with brand crossovers — it has become the norm. Now — turn back the clock to 1921, and imagine how innovative the collaboration between Pat Sullivan’s cartoon cat Felix, and Winslow B. Felix‘s car dealership was? Brilliant. And so, please join me on a creation adventure, shared through pictures and prose.

TWIN PEAKS SAN FRANCISCO — A Brendan Ben Feeney Collaboration

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.

Here is Ben’s amazing photograph, which guided the way. This work was featured in Tufts Magazine, along with an in-depth profile on BBF.

A Portrait of Christian Bale as Dr. Michael Burry, aka The Big Short

This collage painting commission of Christian Bale as Dr. Michael Burry in ‘The Big Short’ represents a highly collaborative work between yours truly, and collector Thane Stenner. Our 40″X40″ canvas illustrates the thoughts, ideals and predictions of Mr. Stenner… essentially, he played the poet, and I executed his poem — visually.

Eustace And The New Crisis — a UN Refugee Agency Collaboration

Remember the iconic New Yorker cover "View of the World from 9th Avenue"? I need a designer/artist to create something similar. Thoughts?

— Brian Reich (@BrianReich) November 5, 2015

It began with a tweet. Alan Rich responded, recommending yours truly — one hour later, I was on a call with Brian Reich of the UN Refugee Agency, discussing the project.

The concept? A New Yorker-inspired painting, addressing the Global Refugee Crisis. Brian’s original 9th Avenue World View idea, transformed to a modern take on the original New Yorker cover, featuring Eustace Tilley… the New York Dandy.
