I bought one of these prints at Balticon50 when John was one of the guests of honor. It was a tough choice considering all of his ASOIAF works are so incredible. My decision was not based off of character choice (although of course all Stark characters rock!) but rather the artist’s ability to convey movement in the print. When you look at this gorgeous piece, it is as if Robb is riding in the midst of a great battle (I like to think it’s the Whispering Wood just before Jaime is captured) and Grey Wind is about to leap into the frame any minute, you can feel and sense the fluidity of the battle. It’s stunning! All of John’s work harness his eye for color as well. This print is no exception; the grays and blacks and browns that cover the print only enhance John’s subtle use of color where it is necessary. I’m so proud to have this work of art. What is more, it is the envy of all my friends. The details are flawless and I love John’s take on the subject. It’s perfect.
Meg! I just now saw this comment. It had been waiting for approval for days and I hadn’t seen it because I’ve been working on new stuff here. So sorry. Thanks so much for the very kind words!! Was a pleasure meeting you, Rheal, and Autumn. CONGRATS on your cosplay award at Balticon! Well earned! 🙂 (And yeah, we’re both not giving up on the Starks yet.)
