Kelly Murphy

Kelly Murphy’s illustrations have a mischievous knack of being able to be lush, atmospheric, and haunting, but at the same time, enormously sweet and cute. She has a number of illustrated books under her belt, and has begun to tackle character design and animation. Visit her blog Who the Sh*t Drank All My Beer for updates and works in progress.

    Nice. Some really interesting work, the book covers especially.

    HECK YEAH!

    Kelly is one hell of a talent all around. Whenever I see her work, I am ALWAYS impressed.

    And she will drink any of you under the table!

    Beautiful paintings! I always see layers of meaning in Ms. Murphy’s work. I wonder at the significance of the black and white striped shirt though….It seems to add a bit of lightheartedness to the sweetly melancholy scene.
