Rutger's TMNT autograph collection updates!

[Raph]

Still going slow but steady nowadays!

I finally was able to get in touch with Yuki Matsuzaki!!
He is the current voice actor for Miyamoto Usagi (in the Nickelodeon Tales of the TMNT series and in the Usago Chronicles.)
We're still in touch and he signed my pictures all the way in Japan!

Thank you! yeah it's going slow lately, also because I have lots of work lately in the entertainment and comic world. But of course I still 'hunt' for new contacts. .
Thank you for checking out my new acquisitions.

Hey dude! Yeah, I love a lot of stuff and since 5 years I've been up to so much. Finally a bookillustrator, got my own comicbook series and I'm the official living Lucky Luke mascotte for the French/Belgium publisher, which is such an honor and a blast to do. It started as cosplay, but it's a fancy sidejob now.

So yeah, the TMNT autograph collecting is going a lot slower.

That’s awesome bro, so happy for ya. I have an upcoming meeting with someone TMNT related myself in September, assuming she doesn’t cancel again. I’ll get an autograph and a photo with her, I’m so excited

[Raph]

Awesome! Who will you meet?

Meeting Judith Hoag! So stoked as I said. Just too bad they couldn’t get Elias Koteas to attend as well

[Raph]

Awesome!! Part of the Shellebration tour I presume.
I got a few 'Say Hi to Rutger' s from her by know when other people met her. Even got the Shellebration pin now ?.
Have fun. Always 'jealous' about meeting her IRL.

She was to come last year but cancelled, but this year she cleared her schedule

New update on my website!
A while ago a good friend of mine went to a Comic Con to get my Newtralizer photo signed by Danny Trejo. But last weekend the man, the legend, was at a local Comic Con. So now I could meet him myself, which got me an awesome photo with him!

I'm currently at 609 TMNT autographs!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Dude that’s so awesome

[TheCanadiandrome]

Sadly wasn’t able to meet Judith Hoag at the con as she had to cancel again due to a family emergency. Seems as if im not allowed to meet her lol

Another update! I know, I know it's not going as fast as 10 years ago.
But for the first time I was an official guest at a Comic Con here in Rotterdam, both as a comicbook artist and professional cosplayer. Among all the other guests was non other then Paige Turco, who played April O'Neil in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II - Secret of the Ooze & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.

I had already written her in the past and got her autograph, but this was my first in-person meeting with her. And it was lovely! We actually first met the day before, bumping into eachother as we both left the restrooms, haha. And on the second day I went for a nice chat and a picture with her.


This photo was already signed in-person by Michelan Sisti in 2015, his out of costume cameo as April's neighbour. And today, Paige Turco signed it as well.
My goal is still to some day meet Judith Hoag as well. We've been in touch for over 12 years now, but still never met in-person.

Oh wow dude
