I graphed an event last week and while quite a bit of the celebrities who showed up didn't sign I still did pretty damn well.
I am a huge fan of the book and the movie Argo so I started a cast piece for my own personal collection and was ecstatic to add John Goodman to it as he is not an easy graph to get.
Susan Sarandon came over and signed and I had 3 photos and was able to get them all signed as she signed quite a bit. A funny thing happened though as she was signing. A girl kept asking her for a picture with her and Susan said as soon as I am done signing and as soon as Susan finished she just walked away and ignored the girl! I find this funny as it happens alot and has happened to me many times before!
Just need Costner to complete but considering he has been difficult lately this could take some time!
Guillermo Del Toro was a surprise attendee and I didn't have any photos for him but I asked him to sketch and he drew 2 sketches for me!
Ray Liotta was next and I was excited for this. I am dying and I mean DYING to see the new movie Killing Them Softly so I wanted to get him on my cast shot I am working on for myself and was happy I was able too as Ray didn't sign many autographs.
Continuing the string of celebrities I am big fans of came Walter White himself, Bryan FREAKING Cranston, still my favorite autograph to get in Hollywood right now. Normally he is one each but he signed more than usual this night and I managed to get 5!
Complete!
Complete!
Just needs Jonathan Banks to complete!
Complete!
Next came a couple of great surprises! Scoot McNairy, Clea DuVall and Kerry Bishe, 3 of the "houseguests" in ARGO, arrived and I was able to add them to my cast shot. As if things couldn't get any better, Tony Mendez, the real life CIA operative that ARGO is based on showed up and I was able to get his autograph as well!
I got John Goodman, Bryan Cranston, Scoot McNairy, Clea DuVall, Kerry Bishe and Tony Mendez on this.
Seth Rogen showed up and for some odd reason I had many photos for him but thanks to the help of a couple friends I was able to get them all signed.
My true love when it comes to movies is Quentin Tarantino films so I was thrilled once again when Kerry Washington showed up and I added her to my Django Unchained cast pieces and finally got a pic with her!
I now have Walton Goggins and Kerry Washington on this.
I now have Kerry Washington, Walton Goggins and James Remar on this.
I now have Kerry Washington, RZA and James Remar on this.
Amanda Seyfried showed up and signed, though not many, and I was able to get a few autographs from her.
Bella Heathcote signed and was being very picky about what she signed and I struggled to get one signed by her.
By far the strangest and most surreal part of the night is when Amy Adams came over to sign. When I saw her coming over I got my photos of her out but when she started signing all hell broke loose and for a second I thought it was Princess Kate signing! Seriously, the crowd went NUTS! I have never seen or felt it get that crazy for Amy Adams before and I seriously hope it never happens again!
