Lots and Lots of Photos

Okay then, as promised, documented evidence that show you Minions are an incredibly creative bunch...

Here is the first batch of stuff I was given while on the KOTW tour.


I've started to only pack half a bag every time I go away, because the amount of things I'm given while signing is just astronomical. What usually happens is that my publicist takes anything I can't fit onto the plane and sends it on to me afterwards. Well, the final package has arrived, so here I am to give you a brief pictorial rundown.


A skull! Signed by "le gang"! And a picture from the irrepressible one, Becky...


I don't have room to put up all of the artwork I was handed, but here are some pieces that stood out...







And I was also given books! One Minion had illustrated my biography blurbs- wonderfully unique idea! And in Liverpool I was handed Project Baguette, a collection of letters and notes and drawings and all kinds of coolness.



And elsewhere in the UK I was given a box! A wonderful little box!


But what's INSIDE the wonderful little box? Is it, perhaps, a set of wonderfully TINY Skulduggery books? It is!


The pic below is so cool. For those of you who can't spot the similarity, this is Super Derek, sitting on a stack of books, reading one with, er, his tongue hanging out of his mouth...

Quite simply one of the CUTEST things I've ever been given.



I've shown this one before, but I figured I'd do it again, and add in another two Skulduggerys (one from this tour, another from... three years ago, maybe...?)



And this! This Raggy Skulduggery that SHE WOULDN'T LET ME KEEP!


Because of the unfortunate lack of Skulduggery merchandise, many of you have had to improvise. Some of you, ahem, have improvised better than others...





Ah, the Tall Bonde! One of my favourites! You've seen her picture here before (I doubt you've forgotten it) but here is a picture of the BACK of Sabrina Sparrow's T-shirt...


And this is Sabrina's partner-in-crime Becky, giving a suitably deadpan freedom sign...



Naturally, Sabrina and Becky came with their banner- much like they did the LAST time they turned up...

(Present)

(Past)

And here's a picture of Mable and Sherlock totally agreeing with the message in my kitchen...


As I was shifting these pictures from my phone, I came across a few I'd taken in Germany a few years ago...



See that? Stylish AND practical!

And to finish it off, here's a picture of my cousin Michael, who came to one of the events in Australia and looked, it has to be said, AWESOME.


Once again, thanks to everyone who came along, and an extra special thanks to those of you who did something extra special.

NIght Derek!

Luciana said...

You know, I think I'm getting over the whole 'oh my f*cking golden god Derek blogspoke' thing. I remember the first two times he blogspoke to me...

I was actually in shock. XD

Oh, f*ck.

Can you imagine what I'd be like if Derek did a signing I'm Sheffield!?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Derek please come,back.
*grabs his legs*
I saw you in Kilkenny.

Ebony Law said...

Yeah, she liked that btw. :D

Just to let you know.

oh lawdy...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Please come back soon Derek.
And I'm holding you to the promise you made at the signing in Kilkenny.

Luciana said...

It's rare for me to be thinking pleasant things... (':

Probably why a couple of people are convinced I'm insane... Hehe.

Willow Storm said...

Derek told me that him and I were good friends. He also asked me for a ten euro, in Dalkey.

Anonymous said...

Evil parade...*mutters angrily*

Noelle said...

Alright, Kes???

And I know. Seriously devastated here... OH and my mum said that if Derek were ever to like, go to Some signing, even if it was in chicago, we'd take a train to go see him.

MY MOTHER IS AMAZING AND I TIP MY HAT TO HER

Flame Phoenix said...

Why was that, Willow?

What promise, Eden?

Luciana said...

I've never met Derek. xD

If I did, I doubt he'd recognise my name. :P

I'm easy to forget. C:

Noelle said...

Oh, guess what STILL didn't come in the mail today??? DB, OR KOTW> >.<

Dying from the suspense.

Anonymous said...

No you're not L.

And i will probably NEVER meet him. Damn American publishers...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh I asked him to put me in the books even if I had to be killed, you know like the brief cameo Kal got and he even pinky sweared.
DEREK IF YOU BREAK THE PROMISE I KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOU!!!

I have to go now, night!
I'll still be answering emails, though.
Night, love you all!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Not really, I'm just hoping I'll catch him when he blogspeaks.

Flame Phoenix said...

Love you too.

Noelle said...

LOL Kes!!! xD

Dammit, FLAME THE SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD. *glares*

That hurt.

Luciana said...

Night, Willow! *hugs* E-mail me if you need to talk, ok? <3

Pfffft, I'm not blogfamous. Kallista and Sparky are the most blogfamous Bloglandians! Then there's Flame who's rather well known, along with Nix and Val and probably some other people. XD

But I'm not blogfamous. There's no reason for me to be blogfamous. c:

That song is AWFUL.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

It's okay but not brilliant.

Flame Phoenix said...

Good, Eden.


And Lucianna, you're off your rocker.
I ain't known.

Flame Phoenix said...

I love it for the talking part and the video is fun.

Anonymous said...

I know you. I think.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Actually scratch okay, below average but it gets stuck in your head.

Noelle said...

SHUT UP, FLAME. OR I WILL KILL YOU.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I admit Nix and Kal and all are famous Luce but you are too.
You are one of if not the most liked people on Blogland.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Agreed, Eden

Agreed

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE.


Flame, you do realise I've ALWAYS seen you to be far more well-known than me, right? I've always looked up to you. And if we ever meet I'll look up to you, because YOU'RE SO BLOODY TALL!

Noelle said...

Hmmm..... I hafta go, juggling too many internet sites as of now... :/ Sorry!!! LOVE Y'ALL!!! *hugs*

Check it, please!

Luciana said...

*laughs* I'm easy to hate.

So easy to hate.

It's hilarious how many people hate me.

I don't mind it, though.

I'm not that well-liked. If I was one of the older gen I'd probably think more, but I've not even been here for a year.

Flame Phoenix said...

I love that phrase..

Noelle said...

*from all around them* Ayyyyyyy sexeh ladeh *Op Op Op Op OP* Oppa Gangnam Style...

*poofs*

Sparky Braginski said...

I haven't been here for a year...

Jophiel said...

Hello? My mouth is so dry and sticky it is disgusting!

Luciana said...

Bye, whoever left!

Hullo, Sparky.

*pokes Flame* I'm always going to be your biggest stan;) just thought I'd remind you of thatttt!

Sparky Braginski said...

Again, Lu, I can go if you want.

Sparky Braginski said...

But I'd like that link looked at!

PLEASE!

I need help, people!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I liked the setting in number two maybe you could do something on that.
That would be something I would read.

Jophiel said...

Sparky, we are on opposite sides of the world!

Kes, I'm am so much better. My nose is still running, my sinuses are still blocked but otherwise, I am fine! Thanks for asking! How are you?

Luciana said...

Damnit.

I had a ded. :P

I'll wait til laterrrr. XD

Flame Phoenix said...

Unfortunately, Sparky, unfortunately.

Sparky Braginski said...

But, blog dating?

I've blog-dated.

It's..

*looks at Flame*

Interesting.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Exactly
* teleports in a globe and puts pins on the two locations*

Anonymous said...

hehe.

I dedicate this page to Peanuts. Charles Schultz is a genius. They are almost as funny as Skulduggery, and they are my favorite COMICS. *raises glass*

I also dedicate to the people who were going to see Derek, but now can't because of the stupid riots. We feel for you.(Of course, I mainly do because NJ was going to ask him a question for me, but still)

Jophiel said...

*Brushes dirt off Eden's back*
So, what's up?

Flame Phoenix said...

*hugs Kal*

I'm no good in these situations. What's wrong, though?

Anonymous said...

Hi Kal!

Death, there is something extremely weird going on with my vision, but otherwise I am fine.

Jophiel said...

Hear! Hear! *Raises diamond*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Nothing really, my little brothers birthday and I got Internet at my house so I won't have to wait till I go to my dads anymore.

Luciana said...

*hugs Kallista Pendragon, the most beautiful sister I've ever had, tightly* Now, why would you - my perfect and beautiful older sister - want to be anyone but your gorgeous self? I'd kill to be as amazing as you! You're irreplaceable! <3

Uilliam Kinsella said...

What do you mean extremely weird?
Like seeing spots or see blurs?

Anonymous said...

Kal, what's wrong? You are amazing!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Seeing*

Jophiel said...

Not as strange as seeing pink elephants with guns that shoot dolphin soaps! I'm hallucinating!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yeah Kal what's wrong you're awesome, you've been in the books.

Anonymous said...

eden, like the edges of my vision are completely blurry and useless, and the doctor has no clue what's wrong.

But really, I'm fine. I can still read after all.

Jophiel said...

Kal, are you okay?

Sparky Braginski said...

*gives Kal a cupcake*

Feel better? It's a feel better cupcake! It's special!

Flame Phoenix said...

(quietly talks to Sparky) Please tell me you find Death and Eden as annoying as I do?

Or is it just me?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I suppose if you can still read.
Anyway hallucinating would be fun, as long as its not like tracker jacket hallucinations.

Anonymous said...

(quietly talks to Flame) Y'know, this doesn't make it any harder for us to see your comment...

And I am seeing pink elephants that shoot dolphin soap! Ah!
*Runs and hides behind a really big rock*

Luciana said...

HALLUCINATIONS ARE HORRIBLE.

I HALLUCINATE ALL THE TIME.

IT'S NOT FUN.

Flame Phoenix said...

(talks quietly back to Kes) I know.

Sparky Braginski said...

Flame, I would recommend e-mailing me...

Anonymous said...

Death, maybe it will stop if you close your eyes.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Exactly, but in the spirit of privacy I just read it but don't comment on it.

Jophiel said...

(Talks quietly to Eden) I can hear them talking about us...

Flame Phoenix said...

I hallucinate that Flame is like right beside me, mad that he gets killed off someday..

I just realised how many Aussies I talk to...My e-mail is full of e-mails and messages from Aussies and a couple of other people;L

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Bye Kessie.

Jophiel said...

Then I will hear something like a bell and open my eyes and then it shoots me! My little bro thinks it is rolfarious!

How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*whispers * okay.

Jophiel said...

*Runs up a tree* *Taunts* Catch me if you can! *Bounds off*

Luciana said...

Back.

*hugs Flame back* I'll be reyt. *smiles* And you'll write a book one day. (':

Maybe a series of books...

Then they can be turned into a film.

And I can become obsessed. ;D

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Em, a little bit harder because of the pressure,
Unless of course that was a rhetorical question, in which case I withdraw my comment.

Jophiel said...

And before anyone says anything, I am not a squirrel!

Is it Sunday in Aus? I don't remember!

Sparky Braginski said...

Um, Death, if you could just look at this...

I need a tie-breaker.

Sparky Braginski said...

Yeah, it's Sunday.
