"Game of Thrones" prints for sale

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:30:00 -0400

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.
