| RIP GEIR NYMO: 1978-2009 |
November 11 | Gary X
|
 It's with a very heavy heart that Wattographs brings news that our Norwegian staffer, Geir Nymo, died this past Monday. He was 31 years old.
Geir was one of the "original" staffers, joining Wattographs in 2005. He was instrumental in discovering several of the Norwegians who portrayed Hoth Rebels, and subsequently lining them up for their first-ever autograph signing. As a result of this, it led to the creation of our Connoisseur Series autograph pieces.
Geir was also a tremendous help when we brought our autograph address database online, helping to populate it with names and address from folks all over the Star Wars universe.
He truly loved Star Wars autographs and had a wicked sense of humor which resonated in instant messages. It resulted in Wattographs naming him our official Court Jester.
Geir had been battling illness for well over a year and finally succumbed to it on Monday. Wattographs offers our sincere condolences to his girlfriend, Veronica, and to his friends and family. Rest in peace, Geir. You will be missed. |

| WATTOGRAPHS ADDS ADDITIONAL SIGNER TO CONNOISSEUR SERIES JABBA PIECE |
November 08 | Gary X
|
| Wattographs is pleased to announce that we've added an additional signer to our Connoisseur Series piece: Jabba the Hutt
Tom McLaughlin, who created (at the time) new processes to create fiberglass molds and ran the foam lab where Jabba was created, has signed on for his first-ever signing.
We're still looking to add a couple more names to this piece and hope that it's going to be one of the best Connoisseur Series pieces we've offered yet. |

| JABBA THE HUTT CANVAS SPECIAL EDITION CS SOLD OUT |
November 07 | Gary X
|
| We have sold out of our special canvas prints of Jabba the Hutt for our Connoisseur Series. It was an edition of only ten, so we expected that it wouldn't last long.
Don't miss out on the regular Connoisseur Series, which will ONLY be available for sale through the end of the month. The only way you'll be able to get it after that is if someone sells theirs on the aftermarket...which means it will cost more than if you bought it via us. We have 16x20 and 11x14 shots available. |

November 02 | Gary X

 Wattographs is pleased to announce our newest offering in the exclusive Connoisseur Series autograph line: Jabba the Hutt. For the first time, ever, fans can get autographs of one of the galaxy's greatest villains from the technical crew and performers who brought him to life:
- Mike Edmonds (Jabba's tail and the first signer to repeat during a Connoisseur Series)
- Dave Barclay (Chief Jabba puppeteer)
- Toby Philpott (Jabba's Head & Arm)
- Howie Hammerman (Jabba's burps!)
And, from the technical side of the Hutt:
- John Coppinger (Jabba sculptor)
- Jez-Gibson Harris
- Bob Keen
- Richard Padbury
- Mike Quinn
We're also working on adding a couple more names, to be announced if they happen.
And, for the first time ever in our Connoisseur Series, we're going to offer a "special edition" version. This special image will be printed on high-quality canvas with archival-quality, UV-resistant inks. We are only making 10 of these prints available at a special price and each will be hand-numbered on the front. Consider this an "exclusive of exclusives" for the Connoisseur Series.
Fans can also send in their personal items for these signers. Costs for personal items will be less for those who order a Connoisseur Series piece, while those who elect not to participate will pay higher prices for individual signatures.
Orders will only be taken through December 1, 2009. Initial orders will pay for the photograph (or canvas print for the "special edition") and the first two signers. Following the intial order, signers will be billed at a cost of two signers each month until the piece is completed. After the initial month of ordering, the Connoisseur Series piece will not be available again unless someone elects to sell their |
