Acquiring art is not unlike purchasing a home — photos reveal the broad strokes, but an in-person visit shows a great deal more. In our digital age, artists are able to reach collectors globally in minutes. This has given way to an ocean of online galleries, allowing you to view and acquire in a few clicks.

Rewind to December, 2010. I recall pondering a portrait series, but found I had 99 problems and picking a portrait subject was one. As fate would have it, I decided to paint Jay Z, which lead to a series of hip hop stars nearly identical to Zack O’Malley Greenburg’s Cash Kings.

Happy Friday. And now for five pieces of news from the busy, and extremely messy Borbay studio.
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.
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.

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.
