June 15, 2008
(June 14-08) Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was spotted walking about Toronto’s trendy Yorkville Ave. A few autograph hounds - who had been waiting on Yorkville for Lance Armstrong noticed MacFarlane heading into the Starbucks. Seth was kind enough to sign up some autographs - and even added a few sketches of his cult-classic Family Guy characters Stewie and Peter Griffin. No real word of what Seth was doing in Toronto - maybe business - but some suggested it maybe the company of a new Canadian actress girlfriend.
I was sitting in Yorkville enjoying the Sunlight and Suave atmosphere while doing my daily sketch routine, I was astounded to see Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane come walking out of the Starbucks Coffee. As he got rushed by autograph hounds, i knew I had to act quick, so with my sketchbook in hand, I approached Seth and asked for his autograph. Seth was real cool and signed my sketch book - even asked about some of the drawings I was doing. I loved that he added a quick drawing to of STEWIE to his signature….. I also asked seth for a job, but he just laughed, I guess he thought I was making a joke.
I caught up to Seth to later in the day, as he arrived back to the Hazelton hotel in Yorkville, he was cool enough to sign an autograph and draw a sketch of Stewie for me. It was cool to meet Seth, he even signed the autograph “To: John”
gotta throw a little Stewie vid into this mix. Love the autograph stories. Seth is one cool guy (and why not? He recently signed the richest tv deal in history - something to the effect of 100 million dollars.)
I was so mad that I didn’t have my cam on me when I ran into Seth and got my sketch done, however I decided to do a google search and came across this photo of Seth walking across the street with me to the right of him (while 1/3 of me, LOL).
I thought it was real cool that I came across this photo and I wanted to share it with the rest of the popvine community.
Seth Rocks!! Family Guy is one of the most iconic shows of our time, gotta love Stewie!
