Julius Erving, aka, Dr. J Collage Painting by Borbay

To lead a professional sports league is rare. To lead two is unprecedented… that is, until Julius Erving, a.k.a. “Dr. J” — towered above, first, the ABA… then the NBA. The ABA was an amalgamation of historic risk-taking owners, managers, players, announcers, and colorful personalities. And so, this painting not only showcases an incredible athlete and human; it celebrates the entire American Basketball Association, which brought the world of basketball tri-colored balls and a dunking revolution.

My collector, friend and sometimes mentor, Robert Oringer and yours truly took our time to carefully curate this celebratory 48″X60″ collage painting.

Introducing Antihero #4 — Tony Soprano. Where to begin? Not only are the Sopranos my favorite painting companions, the late James Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony is one of the great character turns in history. I’ve watched the series start-to-finish ten times, and will continue to do so for years.

Painting Process | NY POST, Andy and Classic Vegas

Instead of tossing my daily delivery of the New York Post, I decided to turn them into art. My lady Erin gifted yours truly six 18″X24″ canvases for Christmas, a perfect size for collage paintings in a growing series. This set came to be after I spent some time looking at a piece I made back in 2003 (below) over the holidays.
