The Art of Being Bill.
A coffee table complication book of artist paying homage to the Legendary Mr Bill Murray
A little back story on my Sailor Bill …….
The Sailor / Bill Murray was painted using acrylic and mixed media. It was originally painted for The Mr Bill Murray, A Tribute Show at the R&R Gallery in Los Angeles in 2010. The work was also featured in a write up by the Los Angeles Times about the art show. The Sailor was one of my all time favorite pieces to create. I was influenced by the fantastic Wes Anderson style from Steve Zissou in Life Aquatic, and there are a couple nods to What About Bob as well. What resonates the most to me about Bill is his playful and endearing spirit, which is what I tried to capture in my piece The Sailor. This guy is truly near and dear to my heart. Thank you for the magic that you put out into the world Mr Bill Murray, it’s incredible how much it has inspired.
