The neon train continues with this 14″X18″ canvas of Fedora — a West Village staple (now gratuity free).
This painting wasn’t going to happen. I was focused on moving our family from Minnesota to Idaho, when I completed packing five days early. A blank canvas taunts a painter like a blank page tortures the writer — so, I got to work.
Manhattan inspiration found me once again… And, so, before I move to Idaho — I’d like to share my depiction of The World Famous Apollo Theater.
Through a fortuitous introduction, I met Thane Stenner in Montreal. Following a presentation about my work, process and business model — we sat down for a long talk about life and art. Little did I know, this conversation would pave the way for a long term creative engagement. Thane had a vision — a commissioned painting of Jesus, with an emphasis on the concept of radiance.
Allow myself, to introduce, myself. I’m delighted to share the first painting of 2016… A self portrait… my first since 2010.
Borbay’s Studio, Minnetonka, Minnesota — Happy Holidays! Following an incredible three months in Jackson Hole, we’re back in Minnesota, planning our next adventure. Here are my final updates for 2015 — thank you for your friendship, patronage and support!
I had the honor of painting this view from the Four Seasons Jackson Hole, as their Artist-In-Residence. The canvas itself is 10″X20″. The medium? Acrylic.
In 1981, Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones set the big screen ablaze. His adventures have spanned three decades… with a fifth film in the works… and if you would believe the latest press — “this won’t be a Bond thing“.
Upon arriving in Jackson Hole for a three-month, self-funded artist residency — I found myself wandering downtown. What caught my eye in this gorgeous Western City was the glimmering neon signs… and friends, the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is something to behold.
Every month or so, I fire off updates from the studio. Here is the latest… if you’d like to receive these directly, just let me know.
Deeecent boys! Holy fuck, it’s Bubbles! Where’s Steve French? Is that a dirty fuckin’ samsquanch?
UPDATE: I will be releasing a limited edition series of prints of this fuckin’ dirty painting, get two birds stoned at once and reserve yours today.

Another newsletter? You got that right. I'll honor and respect your inbox, as if it were my own. I endeavor to share everything happening at Borbay Studios & Gallery. No daily updates. No weekly updates. Simply a message, every month or two... updates on life, creativity, and the journey that began on July 2, 2009. Let's be in touch, as the first leg of my quest reaches completion in 2026. From a studio in my 600-foot Upper East Side apartment living room, to a museum collection. Oh, but friend, that is just the beginning. The road is long, and I am looking for cool, sophisticated company to navigate each challenging turn.
You're here, and I love you for it.
Join me. Let's do this together.
