| The Andy Griffith Show 50th Anniversary Portrait Debuts! |
George Murray is a pencil portraitist living in Wilmington, NC and owner of Murray Art and Frame in
neighboring Leland, NC. He has always taken his passion for nostalgia to the drawing board! Almost all of
the portraits George draws come from the influence he got from legendary icons at an early age. He has
drawn over 40 portraits of 21 Mayberry characters and received endorsements from Andy Griffith, Don
Knotts, George “Goober” Lindsey, and more! He is the official artist of Branson Entertainment Group and was
also commissioned to draw over 30 Hollywood stars’ portraits for Disney's live model for Tinker Bell, Margaret
Kerry. Those portraits will be featured in Ms. Kerry’s new book, "Tinker Bell Talks". His pencil artwork is
drawn with great detail and each print is truly a valuable collectible.
John Hodge, of Knoxville, TN is a life-long Andy Griffith Show fan and trivia expert. He turned his love for the
show into the first officially licensed Andy Griffith Show Trivia Game in 1998. While promoting the trivia game,
John appeared in two television commercials, performed over 300 television and radio interviews, and
executed voice-over recordings for radio stations from Los Angeles to Myrtle Beach. John has many years of
experience in the promotion and marketing business and is putting that experience to work in his latest
project: The 50th Anniversary Andy Griffith Show Portrait, drawn by artist George Murray.
