Bio/Info: William J. Murray resides in Texas and has been a professional in the printing and design
industry for over 12 years. He is also a freelance writer and illustrator, and has two published
philosophy books. He has been married to his wife Irene for 17 years and enjoys painting murals both
inside and outside on his home in the country.
"For most of my art, I begin by drawing on 80 lb Vellum, then inking with pentel pens and I scan
that clean "wire frame" into photoshop, where I begin coloring. I use multiple layers and custom
brushes to gain the various textures and effects.
"Right now I"m concentrating on expanding my 99¢ downloadable coloring posters and wallpaper storefront.
The coloring posters have been my best-selling online product.
"I also just put up an online design tool at my design business site, Design249.com, where you can design
your own business cards, postcards, flyers, and envelopes - and order them for a great price. We offer
thousands of pieces of background and clip art - or, you can upload your own art and photographs. It's
really a great tool - it's fun just to play with. Check it out!
"You can find art & backgrounds I've created for licensing purchases at the BigStockPhoto link and as art
and backgrounds through the Design249 online design tool."
