  2. “Game of Thrones” prints for sale

    I am excited to unveil two awesome “Game of Thrones” prints heavily inspired by both season one of the show and book one! I’ve been a huge fan ever since I watched the show and started reading the books (I’m on book three). Trust me, they are amazing.

    I’ve been messing around with drawing the characters for fun since the show ended and after getting a good response (including an email from super cool series producer and writer DBW), I’ve decided to make them available.

    Have a look. I think my favorites are Jon Snow, Robert Baratheon, Bran Stark and Cersei Lannister…

    See “Game of Thrones” at inprnt.com or click to enlarge

    See “Game of Thrones: House Stark” at inprnt.com or click to enlarge

    The prints come from inprnt.com and the quality is amazing. I’ve got one in my house and it’s very nice.

Bishop presents these new pieces, an exciting collection of his bold colors and signature style imagery, at Art Crimes.” - D. Bennett

    I hope you can make it. I’m really excited to show my new work.

  10. Vote for my new shirt on threadless.com

    I don’t submit shirts to Threadless very often, but I’ve got The Fantastic Mister Excellent up now and the average score is 2.13 out of 5.0 which is a bit depressing. If you like the shirt, go vote for it. Maybe we can get the score up to 2.15!

    UPDATE: We are up to 2.15! Let’s go for… 4.95 ;)
