ConorMurray
The enigmatic Conor Murray was born into music. Legend has it that as a baby he refused traditional teddybears, rattles, and pacifiers, and was only soothed by playing on the pillows with a pair of chopsticks. Ever restless, his training led him across the seven kingdoms until his invention of renowned techniques such as Bambi's Patter, Helicopter Kiss, and the fabled Dragon's Fire soon ushered his mighty kung-fu into proper myth. This is one of the only existing photos in which he was moving slow enough for a lens to capture him.
