'I am your master! How dare you treat me like some piece of garbage?!'

'Oh please, don't offend me like that. I'm way more careful with garbage'.

Let's gooooo!!!!!!

Shhh.. They're communicating..

Thank you to everyone who sent in art, and apologies to the many many people whose art I couldn’t include for whatever reason, but especially if it was my short submission deadline - this was to align with the meetup today, but it’s my bad for not getting my act together sooner!

I was able to give Jonathan the book in person today and he said many things including “you’ve done me a service” 😂 He says (in essence) that he always sees so much fanart and tries to like it or save it to his phone but it can be hard to keep track of!

I have no doubt he would have looked through every page in that book then and there if we had time, but he is always so generous chatting to everyone that by the time I got to speak with him we had a few minutes and then all had to make a hasty exit from the venue!

Also it turns out although I thought I’d ordered one book, the minimum order was three, so I was also able to give a copy to Georgia, his publicist (and an absolute GEM). She LOVED IT and flipped through every page! She kept saying “oh we should print more [artwork]!”, and she said that often Gina (Jonathan’s wife) is the one who comes across different pieces of fanart and then sends them over! (Gina also saw a bit of the book later on, and obviously one is going home with the Strouds!)
