What does virtual signing mean? Not a real signature, but part of the print? Any chance you can find out somehow, Alan? That is a nice looking map - thinking about ordering one tomorrow.

Cool RED SUN - Teasers

Tower of Turtles Films



Published on Oct 30, 2014

To celebrate Halloween and Harry Dresden's birthday, we're sharing a clip from RED SUN. We're still deep in filming, and will be for a while. So we'll share teasers from time to time like this one.



Published on Jan 20, 2015

Underwater Dresden! Mab! On an ice throne! Vampires! Underwater Murphy! Alphas! Will kicking butt! Just another day in Harry Dresden's world... and just a glimpse of the exciting stuff to come in RED SUN.

Yes, real signature

Just got my email replied to:

Quote:
Priscilla Spencer

6:15 PM (7 minutes ago)

to me
Yes, it's a real signature with real pens signed by real Jim and real Priscilla. The "virtual" part is that you're not present while the signing takes place, but you can still request that the map be personalized to you.

Yes, if there are others who are confused, please share my answer!
So I guess it is ordering it tomorrow. Now off to work I go.

Short video of me working on one of my custom ordered walking staffs. This staff is a replica of a staff carried by the book character Harry Dresden. The customer ordered the replica with some specific requests and I was able to match. Sorry part of the proccess was left out..batteries don't last long in the cold.

You, Alan? You make these walking sticks? Or were you quoting from the person's website?

Please post some pictures when you get it. I really would like one, but as I still have two (hidden) limited edition Mass Effect prints, as well as another N7 jacket on the way that I'll have to hide from wifey somewhere, I'd be dead meat if I ordered a big map, signed or not!

Oh, is it a big map? OOOOOOPS, I am dead meat now. My wifey needs to let me get a frame for it to hang. Just finished order, now waiting for February to receive it.

If you want it signed, you need to hide the order by the 24th - that is the deadline to get it signed. You know you want to - it will be only $46.75 with shipping and all. You know you want to. Go get it, you have enough to explain already, what difference is a little map going to make.

This is from Priscilla Spencer ‏@priscellie as posted on twitter:



where she says, "picked up 200 gorgeous Alera map posters and 87 maps sold in 11 days. I'm starting to think my reprint batch of 200 was too small."

Stop it, you!
The only reason that I can't order it, (getting in trouble notwithstanding) is because I have zero wallspace left in the mancave for another frame, what with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Mass Effect and LOTR framed prints occupying every wall. I'm not allowed to hang nerd pictures up in the house proper, but the basement is mine, all mine!
Although, maybe I could mount the map on the coffee table with a sheet of plexi over it... Hmmmmmm...

Side note, man those Element symbols under the Alera legend look awesome!

I suggest that you leave it rolled up in the shipping tube and take it out of the tube only when the wife's away from the house!

Nah, she knew I was ordering it. Showed her a picture of it on my phone. I will act as surprised as her at the size of the tube.

Although you can certainly use my suggestion if you like, it was actually intended for the cowpoke!
