Inspiration:

Happy 60th birthday Bill

bill-murray-inspiration

We usually focus on purely design & illustration here on TC, but for today I’m going to make an exception. Today is the 60th birthday of one of our favourite actors/comedians of all time… the one, the only… Bill Murray! Star of such classics as Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Stripes, Lost in Translation, The Royal Tenenbaums, Zombieland, The Life Aquatic and most recently Fantastic Mr Fox! So following a recent trend in the design-o-sphere of making influence maps (check out Adam Cadwell’s), I decided to make one of Mr Murray! To quote the big man himself…

I’m a nut, but not just a nut.
- Bill Murray

And as a bonus, here’s a brilliant portrait of Bill by the ever-awesome Sam Gilbey! >

    Genius! Bill Murray would have made an awesome Han Solo!
