Just a snippet included from a recent articleâŚ
If you live in Liverpool or the surrounding areas, you will have walked past the cityâs magnificent statues a thousand times. Weathered by the elements, the statues often become part of the street furniture.
But when you take a minute to stop and look at the sculptures, youâll find much more than a statue. Behind the skilful positioning of clay or stone is a story, powerfully captured by the artist.
âŚTomâs recreation of Bill Shankly, footballer and manager of Liverpool FC, stands arms aloft outside Anfield. According to Tom, Bill Shankly used to be a boxer. He said: "If you look closely at the sculpture, the arms are in the shape of a bow, and his muscles are all activated. Itâs a boxerâs stance.
"His body is tilted forward a fair amount with one leg back, as if heâs about to do something. Itâs quite powerful where it could have been a bit boring. When you are creating a sculpture, youâre fraught with obstacles and problems.
"When all of a sudden, they seem to come to life. It almost seems to vibrate. Often when you are working on a sculpture for a long period of time, it does start to feel like theyâre there with you.
Tom Murphy is a celebrated artist, with more than 40 sculptures on public display throughout Liverpool and the rest of the UK

His Saudi Club isnât backed by MBS. Funds are probably a bit tighter for them.
Either way, Itâs some nice retirement money while he makes his next move as a pundit alongside Scholes and Fwank
