# Retro TV Character Illustrations The Game of Thrones 90s-Themed Drawings are Nostalgically Hip By M | Published 2013-05-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-thrones-90s References: [hollywoodreporter](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/game-thrones-joffrey-goes-90s-558571) & [moshi-kun.tumblr](http://moshi-kun.tumblr.com/) French graphic designer Moshi-Kun takes a fresh twist on typical [Game of Thrones fan art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection) by depicting the cast of Game of Thrones 90s-style. While still capturing the graphic violence and gory undertones of the show, Moshi-Kun transcends the medieval brutality of Game of Thrones by depicting the characters as part of a 90s gang. Joffery Lannister looks like a Beastie boy with his iconic eerie facial expression while rocks a punk-esque fitted cap, a funky patterned t-shirt and a gun carefully tucked into his pants. Jamie Lannister looks like slimy a 90s mob leader with his thin stash, shiny white jacket and fierce gun. Daenerys Targaryen is shown as a fun-loving hippy girl holding ferrets in the place of dragons. Jon Snow is my favorite of them all, rocking bad boy cuts and bruises, a [Nirvana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-1) button-up and a baseball bat. In all, the Game of Thrones 90s gangster mash-up is fun, quirky and a great tribute to the bloodthirsty themes of the show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nostalgic Pop Culture Mash-ups:** This trend presents opportunities for artists and designers to create retro-inspired illustrations and products that combine beloved characters from different eras or genres. - **Alternative Character Depictions:** Artists can reimagine well-known characters in unexpected styles or settings, providing a fresh perspective and attracting fans who appreciate unique interpretations. - **Crossover Fan Art:** The popularity of blending different fandoms in creative fan art opens doors for collaborations and merchandise opportunities that cater to the diverse interests of fans. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can leverage nostalgic pop culture mash-ups to create and sell unique, limited-edition prints, merchandise, and collectibles. - **Entertainment and Media:** The alternative character depictions trend provides opportunities for studios and content creators to explore new storytelling possibilities and expand their fan base. - **E-commerce and Licensing:** The crossover fan art trend offers licensing and collaboration opportunities for brands and companies to create exclusive products that cater to the interests of diverse fan communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-1.md) - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired Hiking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-house-of-dragon.md) - [Fantastical Edition Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15-pro-game-of-thrones.md) - [Revived Retro Animations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-animated-series.md) - [Show-Inspired Coloring Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-the-dragon-1.md) - [Thematic Dragon-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-inspired-timepieces.md) - [Television streetwear capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sopranos-range.md)
