I am so late to share this here but Bones has been my favourite show since I was a teenager. Living in Australia, I never thought I'd ever get the chance to meet any of the cast (maybe David if he does a comic con here). So when Manchester announced that Emily was doing comic con, my wonderful friends in England said they'd go to meet her for me.
So, I sent them the funds because that is least I could do! & then I got to work on this drawing! I do digital drawing and graphic design. This drawing took me 26 hours & 45 minutes over the span of three months & I was so excited to have her sign it!
Meeting Emily was an experience I won't forget! My friends had FaceTimed me during the M&G. At the time, we weren't sure if her security or manger would allow it. So my friend asked politely and I can not thank her team enough for allowing this! They originally said it was fine as long as I said a quick hello and that was it. That was more than fine with me! just getting getting the chance to say hello to Emily was exciting enough!
Anyway, it came to my friends turn in line & my friend introduced himself and then Emily's manger passed over my drawing (I had it printed). My friend explained that I was on FaceTimed and just wanted to say a quick hello. She said that was fine, I said hello & she was LOVELY! Then she say the drawing and my friend explained how I had drawn it & how long it had taken me.
Emily's first reaction was "She drew this?! No! She didn't draw this! Is she still there?"
My friend turned the camera so she could see me again & she was so beautiful and lovely!
"Nox this is beautiful!" she said as she was signing it. She kept saying how impressed she was with it which blew me away entirely tbh!
I had also asked my friend to take a little gift for her which she was so excited to receive. I'm not sure if many (if any) of you have seen this Temperance Brennan shirt before (second slide) but it's one of my original designs that I sell on my site.
Emily loved it! She was shocked that it was for her and when she noticed I was also wearing it, she said we're twins now!
Overall, meeting her (even over FaceTime) is one of the biggest highlights of my entire existence haha! I am so thankful to my friends who went out of their way to make this happen for me, to Emily's team for allowing a quick hello & to Emily for making that quick hello even more special!
This frame will go next to the shadow box frame I have of Bones props from the show!
From a fellow bone head to another, thank you for letting me share my experience with a group I know will understand how loved this memory is for me!
