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…

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

Thanks everyone who came out to the opening on Friday! Aside from the rain (not my fault), it was a big success.

The Dunes presents the latest installment of Art Crimes, a monthly art exhibition, with Washington, D.C. based artist and illustrator Chris Bishop.
“Meld two well known and documented loves, women and robots, into a cubist reality that takes the viewer on an entirely unexpected journey, and what you get is this unique exhibition. 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.

Stay up to date with my art, shows & win prizes! THE PRETTY GIRLS & ROBOTS SECRET SOCIETY MAILING LIST…
I’m trying to consolidate twitter, facebook, etc into a mailing list since some people missed art show info last time around despite me feeling like I was spamming the social networks.
I plan to give something away each month to a subscriber. This month it will be a print!

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 ;)
