Don't believe a word I say ...

Okay, so I know I said 'that's it, no more' in respect of convention artwork while I was talking about Donatello here.

The thing is, that was before I knew that Manu Bennett had been invited to JIBcon's 'non-Supernatural' little brother convention, JIBland.

Manu Bennett .... CRIXUS!!!

Of course, Manu also played the rather nasty Azog, the White Orc in The Hobbit movies, but to me he is and always will be Crikxus.

The thing is, I leave for JIBcon/JIBland tomorrow, so I'm unpacking from SPNUK, and packing to JIBccon today and inbetween, I'm having minor hysterics that I'm going to meet Crixus!

I know I don't tend to post about Spartacus here, but it is a series I love and Crixus is my favourite character.  He was only announced yesterday when some bod I'd never heard of pulled out of JIBland, and I might have just had a minor meltdown - in a really good way - when I heard.

Anyway it occurred to me that I'd have nothing for Manu to sign, and that would never do, because, well, Crixus!! 

And Crixus deserves better ...






No, of course I didn't have time to do it ... that's why I'm knackered, completely devoid of any common sense, and posting at a few moments before midnight!!!

There was wine involved too ...

I never knew you were a Spartacus fan - it's good you're sharing with Wendy because she was mad on it too! And I just had a thought. I can't remember if I've packed my old Gladiator J2 JIB shirt but if I had I should wear it for Manu because Jared has Crixus's body! LOL!!!

I love Spartacus, and funnily enough, Mr D and I had a Spartacus binge a few weeks ago, so I was all refreshed on what happened!

[fanspired]

Oh, MAN! That's what you do when you're in a hurry??? This is superb!!!

Thank you. It's amazing what you can achieve when your mind is focussed (and given the wine, somewhat addled too!!)

I didn't watch Spartacus but I know him from Arrow - he's Deathstroke! I am so jealous you're getting to meet him! I bet he's going to love this, it's amazing and I can't believe you did it so quickly!

I can't believe it either, but when I thought about it, these usually take me around 8 - 10 hours and they just seem longer because they're spread over a few days, with an hour or two a day. So, this was no longer, it was just all in one go instead of in separate stages!

I've never seen him in Arrow, but I expect he's really good in it. :D

Thank you.
I was thrilled to meet Manu, and he lived up to my expectations - a really lovely guy!
