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 Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).

Almost every year, we capture ourselves in a way that no photo or video is capable of: with a photoscan. If you dig through our archives, you'll find many of them and can see exactly how we change over time.

While it is hard to look at it and not miss the years past, at the same time, this gives me hope for the future by embracing and cherishing the change in my life.
