Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy

I'm a big fan of the show and I really needed Ryan Hurst on some of my Sons of Anarchy cast pieces, so I was ecstatic when I had a chance to get his autograph in a low key situation.  My buddy and I went and got him two on one and Ryan signed the entire time he smoked a cigarette.  First I added him to my cast 11x14s and some individual 11x14s. 







Then I busted out my helmets.  First I added him to my cast helmet that has everyone on it accept Mark Boone Junior and Kim Coates. 



 Then I added him to a helmet that just has Charlie Hunnam on it. I'll probably leave it just those two.



And lastly he signed a solo helmet for me and added the inscription "SOA".  Pretty freaking awesome. 
 











Homeland stars: Claire Danes and Damian Lewis

The Showtime series Homeland keeps racking up awards.  I'll admit I haven't seen it yet, but I think I'm going to start watching it in the next month when I find the free time.  I did really like Damian Lewis on Band of Brothers and Life, and also Claire Danes in Brokedown Palace and Romeo & Juliet.  So when I had a chance to get their autographs I was all over it.  Both Claire and Damian were really nice and signed a good amount (Damian a bit more than Clare).  

But when Damian signed on the way into the event I got him on three 11x14s, all Band of Brothers images. 



Claire signed and was pretty brief about it, but hey she still did it.  I got her on three 11x14s (two Homeland cast shots and one solo).  I was a little bummed out because her husband Hugh Dancy was with her and he would not come over.  I had my Black Hawk Down cast piece along and my buddy just wanted a picture with him but Hugh kind of ignored us when we called him.  Bummer. 


Damian Lewis signed again later and I added him to three more 11x14s, this time I went with Homeland images.

Olivia Munn from Newsroom

Olivia Munn was out promoting her new show The Newsroom and I was lucky enough to get her autograph on a few photos.  Olivia is always really nice and is alway joking around as she signs. If I see her again this year she will definitely be on my top 10 signers list as right now she's probably number 11.  I just had a few left over photos along, one 11x14 and three 8x10s and I got them all done very easily.

Sci-Fi Stars: Frank Oz, Vince Gilligan, Steven Bauer, Bruce Greenwood, Scott Bakula, Marina Sirtis, and more

I graphed a Sci-Fi event and I ended up doing pretty well.  There were not a lot of big names to show up but I got some new people so I was excited for that.  I got mostly 8x10s signed which is unusual for me but none of the people I had 11x14s for showed up.


First to sign was Tom Skerritt who I always associate with Top Gun.  He signed four 8x10s for me. 





 Next Nick Tarabay and Lesley Ann Brandt showed up together,  I got Nick on three individual 8x10s and I added him to my Spartacus Vengeance cast 11x14. 





 Lesley was signing at the same time as Nick and I managed to juggle between both their photos and got Lesley on my four 8x10s. 





Next was the mother of dragons personal body guard from Game of Thrones: Steven Cole.  He signed my cast 11x14 that was previously signed by George RR Martin and Lena Headey. 




Al Jean signed both my 8x10s. 




Next I got the living genius Vince Gilligan.  He created and writes Breaking Bad, and anyone who does that is pretty cool in my book.  I got him on five 8x10s today.  





 After that was Harry Morgan from Dexter aka James Remar.  I got him on four 8x10s. 





 Then was Scarface's Steven Bauer.  I got him to sign my 11x14 cast piece signed by Al Pacino and Michelle Pfiefer.  Then I got him on four 8x10s.  




Then I realized that I had a Breaking Bad cast 11x14 along so I added him to that.



Marina Sirtis from Star Trek Next Generation signed three 8x10s for me. 



 And I got to get Lance Reddick again which is always cool because I like The Wire.  Today I got him on 8x10s.  I had four along and got three of the four done. 






Ryan Lee from Super 8 came and I got him on two 8x10s. 



 And right behind Ryan was Riley Griffiths and I added him to my cast 11x14. 



 Bruce Greenwood came and I got him on four 8x10 photos. 




And I also got Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard to sign two 8x10s for me. 




 Robert Kirkman came out and was really good about signing.  He does not sketch anymore, but he still signs any photo you put in front of him.  I had nine poster shot 8x10s from Walking Dead along and he signed them all. 




 Scott Bakula also signed and I got him on my two 8x10 photos. 



And lastly was the guy I was most excited to get . . . the voice of Yoda . . . Frank Oz.  It got a little crazy for him but he calmed the situation down and said if everyone gets in a single file line and comes up to him one at a time he will sign for everyone.  And he did just that. (If only more big name celebrities would do this it would stay so much more calm when they sign) I got him on my one 11x14 and he added "yoda" as an inscription. 


And that is all folks.
