King’s Quest art director, Andy Hoyos, did these beautiful acrylic paintings for the VGA version of King’s Quest V – Absence Makes the Heart go Yonder! The originals were scanned in and used digital in the game.
Video Game Art Gallery issued these two works of fine art – Limited editions giclee to 50 copies each, in 2014 and 2015.

It is printed on beautiful 21 x 26″ archival inkjet print, is numbered and hand-signed by Andy Hoyos and is part of a limited edition of 50.

The cottage is overgrown but tranquil and the surrounding vegetation hints at the beauty, danger, and glory that lies in wait for the gamer with its expressive trees, and glimpse of white-capped mountains and diverse flora.
It is an 11 x 14 inch image printed on 15 x 18 inch archival inkjet print and is numbered and hand-signed by the artist. It is part of a limited




Any plans to sell or auction these on ebay?
I’m very keen to buy a print of each.
KQV is my all-time favourite adventure game from my childhood.
