Sofia Coppola signed my drawing through the post. Apparently she doesn’t sign much.

A few years ago David Tennant pulled out of Hamlet due to back problems and I didn’t get a chance to have him sign my drawing. I saw him later in Much Ado about Nothing and got the signature.

At the end of last year we went to see Rob Brydon in “A Chorus of Disapproval” at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Enjoyed the play and some of the cast – Rob Brydon, Nigel Harman, Ashley Jensen – signed my drawing.

Drawing: Julius Caesar at the Donmar Warehouse starring Frances Barber, Jenny Jules, Cush Jumbo, Harriet Walter

Julius Caesar 2024

The all female cast of  ‘Julius Caesar’ at the Donmar Warehouse Frances Barber, Jenny Jules, Cush Jumbo and Harriet Walter signed sketch.  Haven’t seen the play yet, which looks interesting and has been well reviewed by the critics. The setting a women’s prison. They all loved the drawing.

Drawing: Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie001

Hugh was notoriously hard to get an autograph from. A few German collectors tore up their glossy 8×10″ photos in disgust when he didn’t sign for them.

He was going in to do a soundcheck at the London Union Chapel in 2011 when he signed for me. His PA was trying to drag him away, but he really liked my drawing!

Drawing: Mark Rylance – Richard III and Twelfth Night

mark rylance001

I met Mark Rylance tonight who is performing Richard III and Twelfth Night in repertory. He leads an all male cast – both brilliant plays. My drawings of the rest of the cast are here.

He slipped down to the stage door to have a sneaky ciggie, so I got his siggy and had a great discussion with him about playwriting. He’s just finished writing “Nice Fish” which will premiere in Minneapolis in April this year.

Depp+Bruickheimer001

When they were filming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides I left this drawing with Jerry Bruckheimer. He signed it, and even got Johnny Depp to sign before sending it back to me.

David Jason signs my drawing

One of my friends know David Jason’s secretary, so he managed to get my drawing signed for me. As you can see by his writing all over it, he seemed to like it.
