NJ.com: Maxwell’s, a Hoboken rock institution, to close at the end of July(T-shirt featuring Ian Tilton’s photos of Nirvana playing Maxwell’s in 1989, available here; it’s a British site, so we’ll let it slide that the shirt says New York instead of New Jersey.)

Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow as a ’90s grunger.

GAME OF THRONES 80/90s ERA

(Jon Snow and Joffrey Baratheon)

What “Game of Thrones” would have looked like if the action had been set in a contemporary period such as the 80s and 90s?

What if swords, bows, spears and armors had been replaced with some NES guns, bats and tracksuits?
This is a fun project i ve been recently starting, imagining all the characters fighting for the throne in a 80/90s grunge/gangsta/hip-hop era.

Working now on Daenerys. More characters coming soon….

The Nirvana stuff is fucking cursed in my opinion… Somebody has to guard the gates of this thing. Because you know what would happen? The second I sell [the rights], it becomes a jukebox musical, makes a billion dollars, and you’ve got jazz hands on Broadway. Or he’ll be in Gatorade commercials. I will never sell the fucking stakes I have in it, because no one else will bother protecting him.

This is a shirt that I designed that Wavves printed for the tour that they are either on now or just finished. This is a very Tumblr oriented shirt. I was told that these are selling really well and that they’ve already had to reprint them.

If you can’t tell, it’s Charles Barkley and Nirvana from when they were on SNL together. The drawing is based on the promo they did for the episode and the text is something Barkley said during the promo. 

They printed it really nicely with discharge ink so it doesn’t sit on top of the shirt like plastic based inks but is really thin and doesn’t change the texture of the fabric.
