UPDATED: A Sadsack of Murrays

"I don’t have to take this abuse from you, I’ve got hundreds of people dying to abuse me."

UPDATE: I've revised the Murrays to include some that were more personal to me and get the total up to my standard 12 portraits. I'm very pleased I could add Ghostbusters II to the mix, which I've always had a soft spot for.

A Sadsack Of Murrays

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome."

This set was produced as part of a personal commission, which I don't generally do for Little Portraits, but I couldn't resist this subject matter.

An Enthusiasm Of Aykroyds

"As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I hereby order you to return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension."

Yippee-Ki-Yay, Motherfucker

"Welcome to the party, pal!"

Handbook For The Recently Deceased

"I myself am strange and unusual."

You've Gotta Be Fucking Kidding

"I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is."

I created this companion piece to my previous Thing set for The Thing: Artbook, a collection of illustrations from over 350 artists responding to the classic film. The book comes with a foreword by Eli Roth and an afterword by John Carpenter, so there is a 0.000000001% chance that the man himself has seen my work. That boggles my mind.

Up To Eleven

"You can't really dust for vomit."

'R' Good Enough

"HEY YOU GUYS!"

If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It

"This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."

Flames... On The Side Of My Face...

"Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!"

Game Over Man, Game Over

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Join Us

"I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound FINE?"

UPDATE: Added toner to clothing and revised the order. Tweaked The Book Of The Dead a little as the angle was all off in the original.

Inconceivable!

"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, it would be a pity to damage yours."

UPDATE: Resized slightly and added toner to clothing.

Snakes? Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?

"Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory."

A Long Time Ago...

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

...In A Galaxy Far Far Away

"You underestimate the power of the Dark Side."

Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers

"Look, I'm not much good at big speeches, and I know I haven't always been an easy guy to get on with. And I know that, given the choice, I probably wouldn't have chosen you as friends. But, I just want to say... that over the years I have come to regard you as... people... I met."

UPDATE: Resized slightly and added toner to hair and skin tones. Also amended the typo in Duane Dibbley's name - I was using an old Red Dwarf Companion book as a guide and took on their error.
