SO I did this Bill Murray artwork for a gallery show out in California... It opened on the third and I really grappled with the likeness of this truly excellent Actor. However, it seems every time I do a new showpiece I get slightly better with my planning and though processes regarding making artwork... Better Troubleshooting, thumbnails and the like help me work through to a finished image faster...
I even stumbled onto a pretty cool alternate Idea while discussing things with a friend, which I might look into at a later date. Sadly, I had a deadline for this. Which meant I needed to knock it out... I opted to portray Bill in Osmosis Jones, which is a movie that not everyone loved. But for me it has a soft spot. I actually met Bill Murray at the opening screening for this film at the Egyptian theater out in Hollywood. I actually sat behind Murray during the film screening. It was a treat, as far I was concerned and I got to chat with him for just a few minutes before he left...Really nice guy. From there I spent the rest of the evening drinking HUGE (plastic solo sized) cups of free booze on an empty stomach. Whilst shooting the breeze with Molly Shannon and some other friends..
All and all, the night was awesome... The hangover the following morning was not so great...
Hope you dig.
