Introducing piece number two in my kick-ass actors in sweet movies I love series: Brad Pitt as Mickey O’Neil, from Guy Ritchie’s Snatch.

Artist In The World, Never Ending Art Trip, Borbay in the Studio

A few days ago, artist and photographer André Smits stopped by the studio to take my portrait… from behind. I am now part of his global art project entitled: “Artists In The World“. André and I got connected through my good friends over at Happy Famous Artists — which is how Mr. Smits has been finding all of his artists, not through a list, but through word of mouth. This is a great series, and I highly recommend checking out the photographs… definitely a new and interesting take.
