Part of the "Winter Is Coming" group art show at the Ltd. Gallery, Seattle
Dublin based artist and "craft thinkerer" Mick Minogue created this tongue-in-cheek collection of the dead characters of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice from wood. I especially enjoyed the warning on each package, shown in the bottom photo. I hope Minogue keeps at it, because I have no doubt Martin isn't slowing down anytime soon.
"I am thrilled to be apart of this show and joining a host of exceptional talent from all over. When making work for the show we were asked not to make any reference to the HBO game of Thrones show. We could only take our influence from the series of books. This was a great idea for the artists to go deep into their imaginations and not work off likeness of or create homages to the actors involved in the TV series.
I have wanted to make a little collection of figures based on the series for a long time. This seemed like the perfect opportunity so I created 8 action figures all based around a 'Battle Damage' theme. I picked 8 characters who have been battered bruised or have some iconic scaring for their troubles. It was very hard to cap it at 8 as there was so many to choose from. Who knows I might just keep making more."
