Title: Ville Valo Poe litho
Post by: Daedalus on December 04, 2007, 01:44:59 AM
I got my litho in the mail today, 13 of 1500, but I noticed something odd.
It isn't autographed. In the picture on Heartagram, there is a printed signature, and then a real with a marker signature. Mine lacks the real one.
Has anyone else gotten one yet and had this issue?
I'm not even sure how to go about complaining. Do I email Warner and say, "Uh, yeah, my litho doesn't have an autograph"?

Who cares what it's worth? It just looks cool. But if it's supposed to have a signature, than bah Gawd, I want my signature!

woooah, i havn't recieved mine yet, and knowing warner something will be messed up..
since they have to ship it to sweden, i guess it might take a while.. but it says it's been shipped since a few days back

if that signature isn't on mine..  i will be more than pissed off!

they already charged me twice for the stupid membership that i ONLY took bc of this lithograph.. and i'm still waiting for that Alexis person to call me so i can get my money returned.

Daedalus, if yours is the only one without a signature then it'll be worth more in the future :D

How much more do you get for being a member? I'd rather just buy the cds with the 25 dollars.

being a member you get $25 gift card to the HIM store (and the litho is $25) so you basically can get that for free. exclusive merch. also you get a permanent 10% discount. and then the usual bs with advance tix(which usually turn out to be worse). exclusive videos and blah blah blah. i only signed up cause with the gift card. you're basically getting it for free. so if you have $25 in your pocket its worth it.

and i never really thought at the litho autograph thingy and i just checked mine which is 148/1500 and thank goodness mines got the autograph in the corner

I bet there is more than they say.. If there is only 1500, it will be worth a little less that 666 Ways to Love

obviously only time will tell. its considered artwork so it can have more of a value than even the cd. people just need to get it nicely framed and hold on it for years to come and see. also, another really good thing to pick up right now is on HIM's uk recordstore they're blowing out the art posters on there. check them out. i forgot how many there are of each. like 500 or something

I wonder if ville went to art school. If not, this is pretty damn good for someone that didn't
Title: Re: Ville Valo Poe litho
Post by: Carru on December 18, 2007, 11:01:22 AM
yeah ville did go to art school, i remember he did an interview ges ago about his schooling, like his parents putting him in music school and all that wild jazz.
and yeah he also said he went to art school, but apparently was kicked out for vandelism or something like that...... probably one of his magical interview lies he does.

I must admit I was starting to get a bit worried it was taking so long, but mine finally arrived today  ;D

I have number 45/1500 and it has Ville's original autograph on it.......so I'm happy.
Title: Re: Ville Valo Poe litho
Post by: Grim on January 03, 2008, 09:58:40 PM
it has Ville's original autograph on it

How do you know that it is original?
Title: Re: Ville Valo Poe litho
Post by: Jacky on January 03, 2008, 11:52:04 PM
The signature that is in the middle near Poe's face appears to be part of the original drawing and looks the same on all of the copies I have seen posted by other people, but the second signature I believe has  been signed by hand on each lithograph. The reason being is the signature looks slightly different on each one and also some are in the top left corner and some are in the bottom left corner. Or in the case of Daedalus, non existant.

Having said all that, no, I can't say 100% for sure that it is an original Ville signature, I guess it's always possible that he may have had someone else sign them for him. I really like my lithograph and I'm not overly worried if the autograph is original or not, I've got his original autgraph on somehing else anyway.

You usually can tell by if it is pen or printer ink..
