Last night, I attended Cristie Kerr’s Birdies for Breast Cancer Celebrity Golf Classic. Graciously promoted by Dailymotion, this painting auctioned to benefit the charity. Here is a brief recap of a fine evening on the New Jersey waterfront.
On Monday, October 1, 2012, this painting will be live-auctioned at the Birdies for Breast Cancer Celebrity Golf Classic.
When I was a kid, I built a proton pack out of Construx, and fired vigorously into the clouds on an overcast day. My inspiration? Dr. Peter Venkman… a scientist that didn’t suck. So, 28 years later, I paid homage to one of my favorite characters (and actor) with this painting: Dr. Bill Venkman.
I’m delighted to release my latest commissioned portrait — Mr. Simon Fredricks. Simon contacted me by email expressing his interest in a portrait in the style of my actor series, a swift correspondence ensued, and off we went.
Back in 2009, my first professional painting was of The Guggenheim. This became an important landmark for my career, so I decided to try it again in 2010. Finally, I decided to make one each year for 20 years. This black-and-white canvas marks year #4 of 20.
The lure of The Guggenheim is simply too great. No, this isn’t Guggenheim #4… my 20 years of Guggenheim’s are painted in the same location on 89th and 5th Avenue, of the opposite view, on 30″X30″ canvases… This black and white painting was made to support Frank’s Doors — treat it like Chicago politics, vote early and often.
Take a look at this beautiful video created by talented artist and teacher Lora Sanders. Each year Lora’s students create work in the Borbay style, using my online process as a guideline. The video tells the tale… so I’ll let it do the talking.
And without further adieu: the final piece on the Larchmont series: Berry’s Favorite Place.
While Joe Flacco and Tom Brady were busy exchanging sacked lunches, Ryan Seslow and yours truly were hosting the opening reception for “Street Legal – Gratiffyti: Seslow & Borbay on Canvas” at Iona College. The opening was a smashing success, thanks to Iona College, Madalyn Barbero and the entire team.
