NEW YORK, Oct 2 — You’ll soon be able to create your own “Game of Thrones” artwork as author George R.R. Martin has revealed that the colouring book will be out this month.
Martin announced the book on his blog yesterday, providing a first peek at the cover and a release date. The book features stunning original black-and-white illustrations from world-renowned illustrators Yvonne Gilbert, John Howe, Tomislav Tomić, Adam Stower, and Levi Pinfold.
“Yes, I said ‘colouring book’. Not just for the kiddies either. No, it seems that of late adult colouring books have become quite the thing, so Bantam wanted us to do one too. And since I love seeing good fantasy art, I was of course thrilled by the idea.”
The description for the colouring book reads: “In a world where weddings are red, fire is green, and debts are paid in gold, countless images leap off the page thanks to the eye-popping intricacy of the vivid settings and details. Now, for the first time, fans of this blockbuster saga can fill in the blanks and marvel as this meticulously imagined universe comes to life, one sword, sigil, and castle at a time.”
“The Official A Game of Thrones Coloring Book (A Song of Ice and Fire)” will be released October 27, and can be pre-ordered now from various bookstores, including Amazon.
This just might appease fans till Season 6 premieres in April 2016.
