I`d love it!
Alex & Andrea -- Funny comments. :) Lucy Lawless would be an interesting choice in the HBO show. But no, actually when I was doing this Melisandre art, she never entered my mind. Ditto PBenatar. :) The art I did for the calendar is based on the way I saw the characters while immersed in the ASoIaF books. So my Melisandre art is definitely based on that, and when I was drawing her, she was based on personal memories and imaginings, referenced from two ex-girlfriends and my wife. A dangerous combination, now that I think of it.... :) LOL
But please note: I will be signing specific things at specific times. When I sign at Avatar, I will be signing only the FEVRE DREAM graphic novel. When I sign at IDW, I will be signing only DOORWAYS. At Tor, only Wild Cards books.
Those are booth signings. In the general signings, the ones in the con's official autograph areas, I will be signing the Ice & Fire books (mostly) and everything else.
If we have long lines, as I expect, I will ONLY be signing. That is to say, I will not be doing inscriptions or personalizations. When there's a lot of people waiting for my illegible scrawl, and a limited amount of time, it's more equitable to sign five hundred books than to sign and inscribe two hundred.
