  Murray Ball
Ball was born in Fielding in the Manawatu in 1937.
Ball and his wife, Pam, lived at that time on a farm on the outskirts of Gisborne in Poverty Bay and it was from here that Ball got a lot of his ideas and models for his characters.
Ball's art style, which he described as "Hard downwards pressure and intense effort" was clear and fresh, giving the animals expressive features while keeping them true to their animal form.

 Weblog - The Top Spin - Times Online: Game-by-game commentary: Massu v Murray   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Murray flies to the ground on the fifth point but miraculously manages to keep the ball in, and he tops that by taking the game, and the second set.
Murray has dominated the first set and needs to keep this level of quality up if he is going to beat Massu, who seems more comfortable on clay.
Murray's attempts to find the baseline are not always successful, but Massu is not capitalising on his strong serve and the match comes to break point, and then down to deuce, twice.

 EGYPT'S NEW FRONTIER - FROM SIWA TO SINAI WITH MAADI'S PRE-WW2 DESERT EXPLORERS, Saturday November 29, 1996
Ball's specialty was navigating sand dunes, which, one can imagine, was an impossible feat in the days before the Mitsubishi Pajero, the Range Rover and the Toyota landcruiser.
Murray knew Egypt's deserts well having spent 25 years with the Department and having participated in several desert expeditions with his wife Edith Agnes and their two 64 pound Airedale dogs, "Rex the Enormous" and "Odd Without Asking".
When the Murrays were not touring the desert, they were entertaining the many desert lovers among their friends in their Maadi semidetached house at the corner of Roads 18 and 79 (now in the process of being pulled down).
