And one more thing... I told myself I wouldn't buy any of the exhibition piece, but I failed.. and I kinda glad I 'failed'. Because after seeing it with my own eyes, I am extremely happy with this purchase

That's it! Thanks for viewing.. I will update more when I have time..
just...wow.

I still regret not getting the signatures on the cover of the LE case like you did. It just looks better.

And you got one of the original pieces!? That one was definitely one of the better pieces there too...lucky bastid. You know what I have to do now? I'm gonna spam gallery nucleus with requests to reprint that.

btw, how's the quality of their frames? I forgot they offer a custom framing service and I was thinking of getting a few done by them.

Thanks Mag!! Glad you love it!

There is a signing panel, where all the first 300 attendees would be given a number each. We first had to buy the Limited Art Book / Standard Art Book, then wait for our number to be called so we could line up to get our stuffs signed. We were allowed to bring our personal stuffs to be signed too.. Each signing session only consists of some members, not ALL of them. But the organizer lost control of the crowd, me and StayFree somehow managed to get all the sigs.. we cut into lines, do whatever we must to get those sigs..

We managed to track down both NaughtyDog's presidents (Evan Wells & Christophe Balestra), and some ex artists that work for Naughty Dog. I dont know all of them, but StayFree might be able to tell you more.

For the marker.. it was StayFree's, he brought a few I believe. Well people stole all his markers during the signing event, and we resorted to stealing (borrow) the markers left on the signing panel. We did return the markers afterwards...
...hey, do you see me asking you to write my updates?? lol

so yeah, right before the autograph session, the store clerks were telling people that each person was only allowed autographs (two item limit) from the developers assigned to the time slot on the ticket that was handed to you. This obviously pissed off the people that were waiting all day, just now finding out that the developers you're getting autographs from is completely random. No surprise, most people there were trying to get the director's autographs, Neil and Bruce.

Long story short, people started rioting, with general chaos ensuing. It was to the point that there was no longer a line but a massive mob of people trying to funnel themselves to the front, waiting for a different dev to join the session.

Eventually Naughty Dog and Gallery Nucleus realized this really wasn't working so they threw a bunch of tables together and had everyone sign autographs until every single person attending got whatever they wanted signed, which is really a testament to how much they appreciate their fans.

Oh yeah, and the devs there stole all my sharpies...
