I think the colors would be appealing to any number of people, but it really looks like Homer wants you to keep it.

My kids came up with the name, it's more a Simpson nod I think.
They wouldn't let me name him Sharpe and I thought Homer still had a Bean connection(troy) so I was OK with the name.

DAYUM.  I tried doing an illumination once, for an art history class (more art than history - cool class).  It was - um - not good.
I am seriously impressed with this!

on edit: wonder why the artist has the wolf attacking the stag?  I thought they were friends!

That artwork is INCREDIBLE!!! I wonder if an art teacher made this!! This artwork looks like a romanesque gospel manuscript
from the 1100's. I think this would actuality fool most people. Well once again Sean has inspired artists to be very creative and
the reesults are amazing!!! :slyfox

Ah, bless - Sean'll be a comic book character for, what - the second or third time?

Sort of . . . the comic book picture has better hair than the wig he wore!

I love clever people and that's a clever blog (the first 'answer' especially)!

Nice to see the award; I suspect the reasoning for that particular win is that the show will be back for at least another season, so 'new show' is the first of - one hopes - many.

It is funny.  It's hard to keep up though.  I wonder how long he/she will manage it.  :)

“I read all 10 episodes when I sat down to do the pilot. I knew it was coming,” reveals Paul Inglis as to his reaction to the untimely death of Lord Eddard Stark played by Sean Bean (Ronin). “If you are very cynical you can say you could see it coming because he’s quite a big actor to commit to five years of doing an HBO show year in and year out. He’s known for doing diverse films, a lot of roles, fitting a lot in.” Inglis admits, “Dramatically it packs a punch. It’s a great way to finish that film.”
