Being such a fan of Game of Thrones I really wanted to create some cool t-shirts. I love all the characters of the series they have all something special about them, even if you dislike them, the chemistry just works. Their’s so much going on, and it always keeps you on your toes. Having read all of the books of the “Song of Ice and Fire” I can say we are in for a treat with Season 3, that we are really going to struggle in between seasons

Daenery’s Targaryen Necklace
After watching Seasons 1 & 2 my favorite characters were Daenery’s Targaryen and Khal Drogo. For obvious reasons the chemistry between these two characters really made it feel real, every girl wants to be her and every boy wants to be him. Drogo is all man, beast, the all powerful King by day, but slowly she wins him over and you see love grow between them and he becomes something else. Apart from these two characters, the next has to be Tyrion Lannister, besides his charm, whit, cunning and charisma he has all the girls, wine, jokes and laughs you could hope for, plus he seams to be the only Lannister so far to have a real heart. And forgetting he has the best lines Like any good story you need strong characters and just in life we learn more, grow and change and so Game of Thrones come to life. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the offerings of George R. R. Martin, “A Song of Ice and Fire”

Below is the image I’m working on next, Tyrion Lannister.

So you’ve guessed it, I’m a self confessed GOT addict! So this is why I was inspired to create to art for prints and t-shirts. If you were an artist and felt so inspired to create I bet you would too;) First up is Deanery’s Targaryen as Mother of Dragons in “I Will Take Back What is Mine with By Fire and Blood!” This is a pencil sketch I did, which I then scanned it into my computer, so I could add some flames with photoshop airbrushing on the Wacom tablet. For the print I used a really nice aged paper image, just to add some age to it. The image of Daenery’s is from the new Game of Thrones Season 3, and the dragons are from Season 2, the dragons were the hardest part as I wanted them to look like they should do, but the images on the net were very few so I had to the best I could to create them.

From Pencil Sketch – t-shirt print to signed prints

After the design was finished next in my list is to find a great printers to print my tees. This proved to be a little more stressful. After the first company gave me a price for the tees for water printing I put my deposit down. A week later I went back to them to see the sample they created only to be told they wanted to increase the price by 25%, needless to say this was unexceptable for a company to change price through the middle of job, so I got my deposit back. I was on the hunt again, I contacted more t-shirt printers until I found plusgraptees. The first thing that struck me was the great quality of there t-shirts, the owner was more than happy to talk to me about searching for the right cotton, and asked me what was my favorite t-shirt material. As some people prefer to have a cotton and polyester mix, and some just cotton, so over the years he said he always came back to 100% cotton, and he has stuck with it. Besides finding a company that really cares about there t-shirts, I found a company that really cares about there customers too, and this is exactly what I want my customers to have too. Their’s so much for me to learn within the industry and as new printing techniques come into play this business will always be changing, so its ideal for me to find a company that really cares about the printing process and has the time to explain how they create their prints. They cost a little bit more but I’m sure you will agree they will be well worth it.

So in a weeks time I’m off to see my first sample, after that it will take another 10 days to make them and have them ready for me to deliver. Songkran Festival is due here the 13th of April here in Thailand and the factories shut down for a week, so they may not be able to fill my order till afterwards, but at least they are being honest. At the end of the day quality speaks for itself and I want you to be happy with your new tee as I am.
I am expecting them on the 11th of April, but knowing how Thai time works, plus festival season along with the fact its the hottest part of the year for them, they deserve to have a fun festival The tees are more likely to be ready on the 25th of April, but we shall see.

When I have the t-shirts it will be competition time and I will have some freebies to give away to celebrate my first T-shirt going to print in 9 years. So Watch this space and join in the fun.

If you have a favourite character you would like to see let me know.
