Kevin Eastman!

This is the man himself. The father of TMNT. Kevin Eastman.
He was at San Diego ComicCon, last month, and he drew me a nice signed Raphael sketch!

Oh my god...

I feel like I am looking at the holy grail.

I am green with shock and envy...

I would never bath again. Cherish it. Eastman is the man.

*Raph* · 08-04-2006, 01:45 PM

That was exactly my thought, when I heard Kevin would be at a Con. While all the TMNT fans in the USA see him every year and take it for granted. But since I live in Holland, and being a big TMNT fan, I also feel like owning a grail item

Seriously, I'd frame it, and sleep with it under my pillow!

Holy crap dude! That's an amazing collection.

Simply awe-inspiring...

*Raph* · 08-04-2006, 02:41 PM

Thanks, its a project I started January the 20th, 2006. So its going great don't you think! Still have some sigs to come. Also Michelan Sisti

^ Yo, like... Wow! I seriously frickin' envy you. You are an icon, in my eyes. That's one hell of a project to start and make progression in.

That Eastman sketch was the cherry on top. I would seriously hyperventilate if I met him. You should've convinced him to find a way back into the TMNT comics... because volume four is pretty dry. AGH! If I see him, I won't ask for autographs or sketches, I'll persuade him to drop the Heavy Metal mag and get back to the Turtles.... especially for the sake of us comic lovers.

Thanks R-izzy,

Yes I'm very happy with the way it goes. And there are still some things in the pipeline.

And when the new cast is known for TMNT 4, I'll start writing right away!

Good luck trying to get eastman off of heavy metal, R-izzy...

To put it in perspective, it'd be like you creating a comic book character, but after you've done over 10 years worth of crap with that character you wanted to buy the ninja turtles.

Anyway Rutger, that's an awesome sig collection. I have a question, the original cartoon pictures, are those just prints, or are they actual cels? Those are some damn nice pics if they're cels, plus they seem to be with the correct backgrounds. I always get cels with improper backgrounds.

That beats my Kevin Eastman sig to hell.

Hi Ectocooler,

Thanks for your enthousiasm.
All the photo's in my collection are DVD screencaps which I enhanced. To give em a cell quality. Cause DVD caps always have some 'digital dirt' in the colors.
