About
Shelby and Sandy are a California-based artistic duo of brothers Shelby Murphy (b. 1983) and Sandy Murphy (b. 1992), celebrated for their vibrant, nostalgia-driven artworks featuring beloved cartoon characters and pop culture icons.
Raised in Irvine, California, the brothers grew up surrounded by creativity, inspired by their artistically inclined mother. Their collaborative journey began in 2013, blending Shelby’s experience in the entertainment industry with Sandy’s fine arts education from the University of Southern California. Known for their meticulous craftsmanship, they produce their own acrylic paints and ensure that every detail aligns with their exacting artistic standards.
Forgoing traditional gallery representation, Shelby and Sandy have cultivated a dedicated collector base through social media, allowing them to connect directly with their audience and maintain creative control over their work. This innovative approach has earned them a substantial online following and the admiration of celebrity collectors such as Drake, Mariah Carey, and Bradley Cooper.
Their work has been exhibited internationally, including in South Korea and Hong Kong, and their collaborations with global brands like Disney and Warner Bros. further cement their influence in contemporary art.
