Back by popular demand is my Suntory Time print. This is a second edition run of 30. It measures 17" x 12". It is a hand pulled, three color print with the orange and brown inverted from the original design. The original was done for the Bill Murray Tribute Show at g1988 back in 2011. People seemed to like it and still ask if I have any more (long since sold out) so I figured I'd print a few more to help pay for my upcoming wedding.

For this month’s PLANET PULP theme (mustaches), I picked Bill Murray’s Saturday Night Live character “Nick the lounge singer.” One of my favorites.

This IS an Adventure

I was recently asked to contribute at Gallery 27, a new chicago gallery in the artistic Halsted area. What really sold me, was that Gallery 27's first show was "Futura", a Wes Anderson-themed (whose work I prize as favorites). So I present "This is an Adventure".

This is an early sketch for an idea I passed on. I want to thank Gallery 27 for an opportunity to have my FIRST show in Chicago!

Maori Murray by Karla Jane - Please Post Bills



Ko Wiremu Murray tēnei. He rangatira a ia. I whānau mai a ia i Wilmete Illinois, he wāhi kei tuauru o Michigan. He katorika ōna mātua. Nō Airihi me Amerika rāua.

Which roughly translates to:
Ko Wiremu Murray tenei (this is Bill Murray) He rangatira a ia. (He is a chief). I whanau mai a ia i Wilmete Illinois, (he was born in Wilmete Illinois) he wahi kei tuauru o Michigan. (A place west of michigan.) He katorika ona matua. (His parents are catholic). No Airihi me Amerika raua. (They were from Ireland and America.)

This is my contribution to Please Post Bills. Since I am from New Zealand I wanted to do something that traditionally represented that and as that I am a tattoo artist I was inspired by traditional Maori tattooing. So I decided to make Bill Murray a Maori Chief by giving him a Ta Moko (traditional Maori Tattoo) by stitching through the paper which I water coloured, hope you like!!
Maori pronounced like Mouldy but slightly roll the r!!

MURRAY! Super excited about the Please Post Bills show. I wanted to get in on the Murray fun going on. I created this 11"x14" oil on canvas tribute to Murray (or Venkman if you consider the Zener card images in the background). Hope you guys dig it.

Gallery 1988 Melrose: "Please Post Bills" Show

Here's my submission for the "Please Post Bills" Show at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles.


I originally was going to go with the Ghostbusters theme since my piece sold pretty fast at the show last time but I decided to try something different and get out of my comfort zone. The reason this is outside of my comfort zone is because I never saw The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou but know that the film has a huge cult following and people seem to really enjoy it. It was also a lot of fun drawing Bill Murray at an older age versus how young he was in Ghostbusters. I'm pretty happy with the result, I wanted to do a larger piece full of Bill Murray portraits arranged in a typical movie poster montage, but time ran short because of current projects.

Murray


It's been a while... here is my piece for the Please Post Bills show. I had a good time with this one but I'm curious to see how many people know it's from What About Bob.


Take it easy!

Please Post Bills

For Gallery 1988‘s upcoming exhibition “Please Post Bills”, dedicated to comedic legend Bill Murray, I chose to do a companion piece to my Ghostbuster’s piece from “The 3G Show”. My piece, Ugly Little Spud, depicts the scene when Murray’s character, Peter Venkman, comes face to face with his first Class 5 Free-Roaming Vapor, better known as Slimer.

Make it Suntory Time


My piece for the upcoming Post No Bills show at Gallery 1988. Opening night is Thursday, November 3rd. Figured I'd use some Halloween colors since I'm not doing a Halloween piece this year.
