All My Murrays - Print Release at Gallery1988

It's been hard to keep quiet about this but Gallery1988 and I have teamed up to produce prints of my painting "All My Murrays". They were just released today and are currently available at Gallery1988's website.

All My Murrays

giclee print on fine art paper
10 x 13 inches
signed & numbered edition of 50
inspired by various Bill Murray movies

Available for purchase here

Here they are all organized for signing. I am a paper snob and super picky which is why I don't do a lot of prints, they are hard to get right sometimes. But I was just blown away by the print quality on these (printed by the fine folks at Gallery1988), they look so rich and detailed that I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out.

When getting together ideas for my piece to contribute to the show, I couldn't decide on just one Bill Murray performance. There are TOO MANY wonderful movies and characters that he has brought to life...so ended up picking my favorite Murray moments.

Movies Featured: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Caddyshack, Groundhog day, Ghostbusters series, Meatballs, Stripes, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Garfield.

I think Caddyshack was my first Murray love, with Ghostbusters, Meatballs and Life Aquatic coming in close behind. What's your favorite Bill Murray movie or comedy sketch?

I'll leave you with a quote from Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack.

"This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion ... He's on his final hole. He's about 455 yards away, he's gonna hit about a 2 iron I think ... IT'S IN THE HOLE!" - Carl Spackler
