Probably a very wise idea about displaying digital reproductions at BN, as it will probably be mass chaos over there, which is a good thing really, but I agree not worth the risk. I still look forward to seeing them though, so I’ll stop by and say hi, and have my copy signed of course. :)

That’s great that you guys feel so positive about the movie; we all know of countless bad adaptations and its good to hear that Stardust won’t be joining their ranks. I’ve actually noticed a really positive buzz a-brewing over the movie and definitely plan to go see it. I guess I’m just a bit thunderstruck at how good the book is as it is fresh on my mind.

Thanks,

Well, I’ve chosen to only display high-quality digital prints of my work as I was very unsure of of the security involved at the store. You can, however, see a lot of my originals during the run (through September) of the Stardust exhibition at the William King Regional Art Center in Abingdon VA, about an hour away from Johnson City. I am going to bring the large original pictured in the first shot of this post to display during the actual signing event itself.

If you scroll through some of these posts you can read my very positive comments on the movie. I seem to have liked the adaptation as much as Neil did. No one paid us to ‘make nice’ if we both hadn’t have liked the finished product you would have been reading very polite comments but ones easily seen through. The movie is NOT a scene for scene recreation of the book but a viable, highly entertaining film that made me, for one, very delighted. Indeed, almost every review I’ve read has been very positive. So I hope that you’ll enjoy it when you see it.

Best,
Charles

AND, for the first time I will have my own credit card machine to use so there’s no excuse NOT to spend lots and lots…

I expect that the Stardust Comic-Con screening tickets will only be available at the CBDLF booth.

See you there,
Charles

Will you have copies of the new edition of Stardust at your booth? If so, any likelyhood you might have them signed by Neil? Debating on whether to order one quickly from Dreamhaven since Neil’s signing availability is limited at ComicCon.

Re: The ComicCon screening and CBLDF goodie bag, is that something the CBLDF will be doing a raffle or selling tickets for at their booth? They don’t mention it on their web site yet (although their welcome reception is also Thursday night).

Thanks,

whee! :-)

I’m very much looking forward to coming down to Abingdon for a screening and to check out the gallery installation. (Not the mention the delightful company of stardustgirl and squeaks!)
