End of Watch premiere

For the last week or so I've been talking about how pumped I am to see End of Watch.  The previews look really good and it just seems like my kind of movie.  So I went to the premiere to try to get some autographs and unfortunately I was kind of soured by my experience.  Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena were both not very nice.  Jake just acted really pompous and didn't at all seem like he had any fun interacting with fans asking for his autograph or a picture with him.  Michael was just weird in general.  He signed erratically for about 30 seconds and I wasn't even able to complete one my combo shots Jake had already signed.  To be honest the way Jake and Michael acted made me a lot less pumped to see End of Watch.  I went from wanting to go see it at the midnight showing Thursday to leaving the premiere wanting to wait til video. 

Anyways here's my stuff I got signed.  Here's Jake signing:


 Below: someone handed Jake a dead silver pen (since I didn't even get Michael on it I'm less pissed about the silver)


Michael Pena jumping around not signing:

 Below: I did manage to complete this one 12x18 combo. 


On the bright side Anna Kendrick is really really nice.  She was a sweetheart just like always.  I brought two 11x14 photos along and got them both signed really easily. 



And Cody Horn was really nice too.  I had two 11x14 photos along and also got them signed easily.  



Thats it for this premiere.  Went home pretty disgusted with the stars.

Resident Evil Retribution premiere with Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, and more


I graphed the Resident Evil Retribution premiere this week and it was a pretty awesome premiere. I went in really wanting to get Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez and even though Michelle was a no-show, Milla more than made up for it by signing up a storm. 



Below is my 11x14 cast piece I worked on.  I got everyone in one color and got Milla Jovovich, Paul W.S. Anderson, Aryana Engineer, Boris Kodjoe, Shawn Roberts, and Kevin Durand on it. 


Laura Vandervoort came to the premiere and I brought one 11x14 along and she signed it for me no problem.  She's usually really nice.




 Shawn Roberts was pretty cool and signed for everybody who asked.  I didn't have any individuals along but added him to my cast 11x14. 


 Aryana Engineer plays Becky in the movie and I also didn't have any individuals along so I just added her to my cast 11x14. 




 Same story for Boris Kodjoe, I didn't have any individuals but I added him to my cast 11x14. 





I did however have some individuals along for Sienna Guillory.  She didn't sign for long but I quickly moved and got directly in front of her when she first picked up the sharpie and started signing. I got her on all five of my individual 11x14s but she was avoiding cast shots (no idea why) so I couldn't get her on my cast 11x14.


Oded Fehr showed up and I got him on one individual 11x14, but again I did not have any luck adding him to my cast 11x14.  




 Kevin Durand is a pretty nice guy and is good about signing.  I got him on two individual 11x14s and also my cast 11x14. 




I also added director Paul W.S. Anderson to my cast piece.  



And lastly was one of the coolest displays by a celebrity I've seen this year.  Milla Jovovich was amazing.  She signed for a solid twenty five minutes.  Literally all the collectors were out of photos and just stood around in back watching her sign receipts, hands, everything.  I got all my ten photos signed in the first ten minutes, then walked around for a while, then asked some friends if they had any left, then I took some photos of her, then I stood around some more, then I took a minutes of video of her. She was still signing when I left for the night.  Bravo Milla. 




Oh and Milla even gave her purse to a little girl who was a fan of hers. Seriously, she emptied her purse and handed it to the little girl in the photo above (who freaked out and screamed with joy) 

Below: signing someone's ID
 Below: someone holding out their hand to be signed

 Here's my nine 11x14 photos I got signed.  I also added her to my cast 11x14. 

Thank you Milla for making a ton of fan's night.

Sons of Anarchy season 5 premiere


I'm pumped for the season 5 premiere of Sons of Anarchy tonight and I was even more pumped to get the cast's autographs this weekend at the premiere.  I did really well as the cast is all super nice.  It was a ton of quantity in signatures and it's almost too much to recap but here we go.


Below: 16x20 cast piece with: Paris Barclay, Ron Perlman, Chris Browning, Emilio Rivera, Chuck Zito, Kenny Johnson, Ryan Hurst, Dayton Callie, David Labrava, Maggie Siff, Kim Coates, Theo Rossi, Sarah Jones, and Christopher Reed on it. 

Below cast helmet with Charlie, Theo, David, Kim, Boone, Kurt, and Ryan on it. 



Below: 11x14 cast piece with: Theo Rossi, Tommy Flanagan, Emilio Rivera, Mark Boone Junio, Ryan Hurst, Kenny Johnson, Ron Perlman, Chris Browning, Patrick St. Esprit, Ally Walker, Christopher Reed, Michael Ornstein, Paris Barclay, and Benito Martinez on it. 

Below 11x14 cast piece with: Chuck Zito, Patrick St. Esprit, Rockman Dunbar, Michael Ornstein, Peter Weller, Theo Rossi, Emilio Rivera, and Benito Martinez on it. 


I got David Labrava on my cast helmet, 16x20, one individual 11x14, and two individual 8x10s. 







I got producer Paris Barclay on my cast 16x20 and cast 11x14. 



I added Michael Ornstein aka Chucky to all my cast photos. 




Winter Ave Zoli showed up and I got her on three individual 11x14 photos.

I added Mark Boone Junior to my cast helmet, 16x20, 11x14, and one individual 11x14. 






I got Danny Trejo on two individual SOA 11x14s and four 8x10s from Breaking Bad.  I didn't add him to any of my cast pieces because from past experience I knew he signs way too big and tends to sign over other people. 






I added Kim Coates to my cast helmet, cast 16x20, 11x14, and got two individual 11x14s and two individual 8x10s done too. 





I also added Theo Rossi to my cast helmet, 16x20, 11x14s, and four individual 8x10s. 



Sarah Jones also showed up and I had an individual 11x14 along and had her sign it, I also added her to my cast 16x20. 



I added Ryan Hurst to my cast helmet, 16x20, and three individual 8x10s. 


Charlie Hunnam signed I got him on my helmet and one combo of him and Ron.  He had a silver in his hand and wasn't switching so I didn't try for my other pieces that were in all blue. 



I also added Kurt Sutter to my cast helmet and two individual 11x14s.



Emilio Rivera signed and I got him on two individual 11x14s and also added him to my cast 16x20 and both cast 11x14s. 




I added Kenny Johnson to all my cast photos. 



Patrick St. Esprit plays Oswald on the show and I added him to both my cast 11x14s. 


 The new sheriff of Charming Rockman signed and I added him to my cast 11x14 and one 11x14 shot of him and Theo. 




I also got Tommy Flanagan on two 8x10s.  


 I added Benito Martinez to my two cast 11x14s. 


The original Robocop Peter Weller directs a lot of Sons episodes.  I was able to get him on one of my cast 11x14s. 



And that is all for this one.
