FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, NY – April 2, 2012 — Creator of the #KingsOfHipHop and Time Out Magazine’s Most Creative New Yorker, Borbay, is now showcasing four prints in the Major League Baseball Fan Cave. Located at the former home of the iconic Tower Records on 4th Street & Broadway in New York City’s Greenwich Village, the Fan Cave will host a concert series, celebrity appearances and, quite notably, 9 Cave Dwellers who will watch every game of the 2012 MLB season.
2011 began true and proper with HOV… a work of art, a Warhol (already). He was both the first of my #KingsOfHipHop, and the first painting of the year.
This past Thursday, I had the honor of guest lecturing for Ryan Seslow‘s Art Appreciation Class at Iona College for a second time. My presentation revolved around my history, work, process, day-to-day and wrapped up with a 30-minute “draw the Guggenheim” exercise.
Earlier this year, I was contacted by Jim Carney and Susan Weeden to discuss their new project — Bomb Wines. My name was kindly sent their way by former American-Record holding steeplechaser, art collector and friend George Malley. Read more
Recently, I was commissioned by the fine folks at Advertising Week to create a Manhattan-centric collage-painting for their 8th Anniversary. To promote Advertising Week, they created an ad featuring my painting, which can be found in Bloomberg’s Business Week, AdWeek and Fast Company.
Three years ago, I was working as Business Director for Fantasy Interactive. At the time, my life revolved around clients, projects, proposals, SOW’s and presentations. Today, I paint for 4-7 hours a day and spend a solid 1-3 hours a day evangelizing, promoting and selling my work. This agency experience and my current role served as the catalyst for showing my #KingsOfHipHop art exhibition at the offices of Publicis Modem on 9/15.
Exactly two years ago, I declared my independence and became a full-time “Professional Location Artist” — my longest career to-date. Since then, I’ve had the honor of being named Time Out New York’s Most Creative New Yorker 2009, secured and delivered over 50 commissions, painted 162 canvases, and created on-location in Manhattan, Milan, Chicago, Minnesota, Las Vegas and Jamaica.
