The Hobbit Sigs

Mark Dermul's Lord of the Rings

Autograph Collection

Poster collection
I originally had three posters, but I sold one to a close friend of mine who needed a boost for his personal Lord of the Rings collection and my posters seemed to him like a good start. Since it had no autographs that I did not have already on one of my other two posters, I decided to let him have it.

 

The autographs on my poster were all obtained in person at a show or convention by either myself or a fellow collector (with the photos to prove it) or through the mail with the star directly - after careful correspondance via e-mail to make sure the poster was handled with care.

I'm very happy that nothing ever happend to the poster, apart from some delays in getting it back. After a while, I stopped sending it out for fear of losing it, after obtaining a large number of autographs.

The poster has been taken to shows in Belgium,the UK, the USA, France, Germany, Scandinavia and New Zealand.

One Ring to Rule them All

This poster has 26 personalized autographs. Almost all of the signers wrote 'to Mark', one person even wrote 'to Mr Dermul'. I will not be able to add any more autographs to this poster because it is already very full, but also because it has been professionaly framed and is now one of the main attractions in my study.

It was signed in person by Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, Roger Samuels (Weta), Carola Brockhoff (Weta), Jed Brophy, Howard Shore, Brad Dourif, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Norell, Andy Serkis, Harry Sinclair, Mark Ferguson, Sala Baker, Bob Anderson, Craig Parker, Lawrence Mokoare, Sir Christopher Lee, Jorn Benzon, Bruce Hopkins, Thomas Robins, Miranda Otto, Bruce Spence, Brent McIntyre and John Noble. I am especially proud of the Howard Shore autograph, which I obtained in person when Mr Howard (the composer of the fantastic soundtrack) was in Belgium for the Lord of the Rings concert.
