"Anecdotes, observations, advice, memories, Murray-isms" are coming to the world of NFTs as acclaimed icon Bill Murray prepares to launch an inaugural NFT series with Coinbase.

American actor, writer and comedian Billy Murray is a globally known figure within the entertainment industry following an acclaimed and on-going career that spans six decades.

Commencing with The National Lampoon Radio Hour in 1973, Murray’s highlight reel includes Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation, and Zombieland, among many other notable screen contributions.

Murray has earned a plethora of major accolades — principally a British Academy Film & Television Awards (BAFTA) for his role of Best Actor in a Leading Role for the 2003 comedy-drama Lost in Translation, and a Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor for the same film — as well as two Primetime Emmy Awards for Saturday Night Live and Olive Kitteridge chronologically.

In his latest venture, the 71-year-old has inked a partnership with Coinbase’s beta NFT marketplace, entertainment site theCHIVE and e-commerce platform Project Venkman to release a collection of unique, one-of-one NFTs.

An official blogpostfrom Coinbase details the specific behind the 1000-piece drop, noting that it “offers 100 story NFTs containing anecdotes, observations, advice, memories, Murray-isms, and more”, before revealing:

“Bill and his son Jackson personally reviewed, edited, and approved every story NFT in the collection. They also worked closely with author John Resig to add context to the stories we all know and love, while also contributing dozens of stories few have ever heard.”

@nftalan posted a comment underneath the announcement sharing, "Bill this is gonna be amazing!

Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great JosĂ© Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
