Dave Murray

Hi, I'm Dave Murray. Illustrator, coffee drinker, beer league goaltender. I illustrate cool things for sports, politics, and other big topics. You can see my work here: davemurrayillustration.com

LET’S GO @BlueJays #toronto #torontobluejays #bluejays #jays #wantitall #mlb #POSTSEASON

Rest in peace, Ken Dryden. You are the very definition of the word legend. I can’t believe I got to meet you.

@MeghanChayka Beba has been phenomenal both times I’ve been.

What are the best restaurants in Montreal? I don’t want the typical food poutine, shaved meat or salads. I want diabolically good and/or new.

@GraphicMatt A real “what do I do with my hands” moment captured here.

But first: "Soccer" declares Mayor Olivia Chow. "Football!" She's giving a few remarks to mark the one-year countdown to FIFA World Cup 2026. The artist behind the city's FIFA poster, Dave Murray, is here. He poses.

Toronto Council meets today! It's the PENULTIMATE meeting before summer break. Chow has designated an item about hiring paramedics as her first key matter, so it'll be debated first. You can watch the stream here—or just read what I post in this thread youtube.com/watch?v=shwnt7…

Also also, I was 100% sure today was the 24th, so I goofed and revealed this cover a day early. I have spent ALL of today, until about 5 minutes ago, thinking it was the 24th. Sigh.

Also, like… pretty timely essay and subject matter. Yeesh.

Always cool to be asked to illustrate for @ForeignAffairs by @edxjohnson, but even cooler when he tells you your illo will ALSO be the cover. Thanks, Ed!

@TTChelps driver of bus 3463, did not come to a stop at Oakwood/Burlington, proceeded to chastise me after I ran to catch up to him. He’ll say my head was down on my phone, but I was getting my presto card ready, which required attention. I was clearly waiting at the stop.

@flyerswitch These were suuuuuuper suuuuper fun Great job!

six games told in six pages of sketches — commissioned #StanleyCup work for NHL europe :) was a blast to do!

Had a great time at Soccer Day in Toronto yesterday - met a lot of friendly folks and signed A LOT of my @FWC26Toronto posters! #toronto #fifa #WorldCup #WeAre26 #FIFAWorldCup

McDavid that’s fucking insane

After an extended stay at the gallery, prints of my painting "Mitts" are now available in my shop! davemurrayillustration.com/shop/mitts16x16

New for @ForeignAffairs - “The End of the Long American Century” Always a pleasure to work with @edxjohnson.

@greatbigkid_eh @glennhendry Oh, I’m a biiiiiiiig Habs guy. That being said, I present this picture from my younger days:

@glennhendry @dave__murray Pretty sure he’s a Habs guy. But also a businessman. He knows where the big $ are (at least here in the centre of the hockey universe 🤪).

With the legend that is @dave__murray and my Johnny Bower art purchase

Huge thanks to everyone who has ordered a print - once again, I’ll be shipping out order this Friday. Want a print? Get it here: davemurrayillustration.com/shop

NEWS! I've overhauled my shop, and have added new prints! My Ovechkin 895 illustration is now available, as well as prints of my paintings "Bower" and "Lemieux" from my recent gallery show, NEXT GOAL. Get them here: davemurrayillustration.com/shop

the election result is that if you rave about trump to jordan peterson just months before an election no one wants that stink

My show, NEXT GOAL, ends this Wednesday. Tag a @MapleLeafs fan you think should see it (I’m looking at you, @Steve_Dangle) Check it out at Cry Baby Gallery, 1468 Dundas St W, Toronto. ——- BOWER 36” x 48” Acrylic on birch panel #nhl #johnnybower #goleafsgo #leafsforever
