 I got the idea from the autographed Kindle I posted about a few weeks ago. So I used some of my favorite author's autographs that I found on the web to create a screensaver. Mine includes the following autographs: - W.E.B. Griffin
- Tom Clancy
- Lee Child
- Thomas Harris
- Barry Eisler
- Stephen Hunter
- Robert Crais
- Stephen King
- Dean Koontz
- T. Jefferson Parker
- Michael Crichton
- Joseph Wambaugh
- Steve Martini
- Joseph Heller
- Robert Ludlum
- Jeffrey Archer
- Stephen Coonts
- Clive Cussler
- Nelson DeMille
- John LeCarre
- James Patterson
I'd be happy to create one for anyone who'd like one. If you'd like one, just post a list of the authors you want me to include. I have about 100 authors already in Photoshop ready to go, but I can probably find almost anyone. I'd also be happy to include any of the authors on the board here who'd like to scan their autograph in and post it. |

I'm trying to find all the autographs you requested, having trouble with a few, but found this one and thought I'd post it real quick...  |

OK, got all of them except for Carrie Vaughn and Marian Keyes... if you can find an image of their signature anywhere, post a link for me and I'll add them. I'll post the screensaver with the ones I do have in a little bit.

Alrighty, here you go Kay... I wasn't sure how much I liked it with just the autographs, since there weren't enough to really fill the screen completely. I tried several different shuffles to see where everything fit best. So I created one with just the autographs, then I created another with an ornamental design in the middle and then the autographs arranged around it. I'd be happy to play around with it some more if you're not happy with either of these. I can also change the ornament to something else if you like. Let me know... Click on an image to see the full size one, then you can right-click and save it from there.   |

Most of them through Google... or my secret weapon - Ebay - search for signed editions with the author name and there is usually a picture of the autographed page. Then I use Photoshop to isolate the autograph from any text they may have signed on top of, etc. I'll get to work on yours now... probably will have it posted later tonight. |

Wisteria, Unfortunately, despite spending about 2 hours on Google and Ebay, I couldn't find most of your requested autographs. I ended up with only 7, so I don't know if you'll be happy with how it turned out. I added a little ornamentation to try and fill it out a little. (KindleKay, if you'd like me to add some more ornamentation, let me know...) Click on the image to see the full size one, then you can right-click and save it from there.  |

Thanks Jason. I really appreciate you giving it a try....my fault for loving less famous, rather elusive authors I guess.

You're welcome, sorry I wasn't able to find more! There are 100's of author's autographs (and a few random famous people's as well) at THIS SITE. If you want to browse through there for some others that you like and post the names you find here, I'll be happy to do another one. |
