Grabster has a truly global background; he was born in Brazil, grew up in New York City, and developed his signature style in South Florida. World-travelled and multi-lingual, his cultural mix shows up in his work through bright tropical colors and retro-futuristic themes.
Grabster’s technical expertise sets him apart, whether it’s creating branded logos for basketball courts or developing collaborative designs, he’s a master of geometry and precision. Whether he is painting a small canvas or a ten-story building, he’s known for his knowledge and caring approach to each project.
As owner of Funky Paint, an art production business he’s ran for nearly two decades, Marcus “Grabster” Borges is an incredibly professional, dedicated and timely in his approach to business. He understands the lift it takes to navigate corporate budgets, busy schedules, and competing brand interests. Because of his professionalism, he is a top choice for companies needing large brand murals and has worked with big names like Off-White, Formula 1, FIFA, the US Open, and Redbull. While he is based in the sunshine state, he is available for mural and live painting work worldwide for any project that needs his professional touch.
As a live painter, Grabster pulls from his experience as a performer—he grew up breakdancing and has years of experience in the event space performing dance and capoeira. If you are searching for live painters in the Miami area, Grabster is without a doubt the most prolific live painter for corporate retreats and branded events in the South Florida region. He’s been a leader in the local street art world for over 15 years, and brings this expertise and understanding to each event he attends.
Grabster is up and coming in the fine art world and partners with publishers like 1XRUN, where his original paintings sold out on their very first day. Collectors and art lovers alike appreciate his abstract geometry and the way he brings a clean, professional look to the world of graffiti.
