"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!

The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
