I feel like this is pretty universal for most artists.

If I was an artist, I would always make it out to a certain name, so no one else would want it :D

I'm a terrible, terrible fan.

Sean Austin, while sick and chugging water/cough medicine, looking like he's about to die but still signing stuff for fans: "What's your name?"

Me: "Oh you don't have to put a name."

Him: Baleful "are you fucking kidding me" stare

Me: "-I mean, BigCityCrows."

Is this valid for all celebrities? If I get Emma Watson's autograph and sell it, will she appear under my bed?

As a Make a Wish kid, I got a signed poster from the cast of The Simpsons and this sentiment was casually dropped in the conversation when I met them. Forgot by whom, and it wasn't threatening or insinuating anything, but you could tell it was something that had probably occurred in the past.

I must confess to having asked a couple of famous people to make out autographs to "Winning bidder". They didn't seem to find it as funny as I did.

George Alec Effinger, an author, had something to say about signed items.

See, he was in a writing group, which is just an excuse for writers ro get together and drink. One day they were discussing their books in book stores. Writers have a perverse feeling where they need to check if the book store carries their books. A common feeling is it is ok if their books are in used book stores because at least it means someone read it. But signed books are not great. And personalized signatures really suck.

One author said he had the worst story. He went into a used book store and found all of his books and every one was autographed for his ex-wife.

George Alec Effinger said he could beat that. His mother passed away and he had to go to the house to clean it and go through her belongings. And in the attic, pushed into a corner was a trunk. Inside the trunks was every package he had sent her, none of them open, containing the various books and stories he got published and signed for her.

So, the moral of the story, wait until the artist is dead before selling any of their autographs.

I wouldn't care. If they make a few bucks off of my scribble, more power to them. Autographs are stupid anyway.

So pirating their music is okay, but selling an artist's signature is not. Got it.

As an author who has seen my autographed books available for sale on Amazon, I stand behind these scare tactics.

Who even asks for autographs these days? We all have camera phones, anyone asking for an autograph is obviously up to no good. I'd wanna handshake and a picture.

Maybe it's universal. But I think most wouldn't throw you in their bath tub and chop you into tiny little pieces with a chainsaw and then sing a song about it.

That honor stays with Eminem.

I once asked someone to, "Make it out to eBay."

They did not comply.

juliusseizure · 8 months

If I was an artist, I would signing things all over the place for everyone I think could use the money. How easier can it get to help someone make money from someone else who can afford to pay for it.

I love stories about how Picasso would pay a tab at a restaurant with a drawing on a napkin. If I were famous, I'd have no problem with that. I'm just making money out of nothing, for people I don't even know!

You're going to be under my bed? What? That seems vaguely homosexual and very comedic. I can picture Eminem hiding under my bed with his "posse", saying things like, "When he gets in here, we're gonna get his ass."

Reminds of that line from Pulp Fiction: "If he goes to Indochina, I want a nigger waiting in a bowl of rice."

Eminem should just flood the market, if Tom decides to put a signed Encore album online Eminem should sign and auction 50 copies making himself a pretty penny and screwing over Tommy boy.

Dont worry Sopa will end that. You dont actually own that signature, you only have limited use of it as it belongs solely to the artist.
