As mentioned before I collect autographs. The majority of my collection are the usual 10 x 8 photos but I have other items signed that I will photograph at some point. Apart from photos, the main thing I get signed is canvases. It all began when I saw a canvas I really liked. I bought... Continue Reading →

London Film & Comic Con 2016
LFCC has not been great the past few years (see previous posts) and I was wary about attending but nevertheless volunteered to help on the USS Iceni stand to raise money for charity.

LFCC ’14
Showmasters hit the ground running earlier in the year by announcing a big guest....Stan Lee. Little did they realise the interest it would generate. Ticket sales shot up so much that different passes had to be created. Comic and regular. Leading up to the show itself, many more big names were added including Carrie Fisher... Continue Reading →
