Poll on my Facebook: Who Shall I Paint?

0 min read

Hello! I have a poll going on my professional Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Art-of-Tiziano-Baracchi/110373182354259?ref=hl I'm asking fans of my works and of ASOIAF. which character among those listed should I paint as an extra-limited edition print for the European Championship? One random-chosen commenter will win a print, otherwise this piece will ONLY be available at Castle Stahleck (print run will be 20 +1, the extra 'commenter' print will be marked with one letter instead than one number).

Honestly it feels like a piece of the theatre of the absurd, I'm posting here as an update to the people that read my first post and to spread the word a
