Robert Pattinson autographed guitar to be auctioned for Dio Cancer Fund Dec. 1st

Robert Pattinson autographed guitar to be auctioned for Dio Cancer Fund Dec. 1st

Photobucket We love us some MusicalRob and now we're going to see who else loves MusicalRob. Or at least who loves to collect celebrity autographs on musical instruments.

According to the LA Times, a guitar autographed by Robert Pattinson will join over 100 other autographed guitars for an auction Dec. 1st to benefit the Dio Cancer Fund. Guitars can be previewed Nov. 19th-Nov. 30th in Beverly Hills at Julien's Auctions.

Rob contributed an acoustic-electric guitar.

Not the one pictured. I just like this throwback pic of AcousticRob teasing us with clavicleporn.

The auction will be held online and live. Click HERE if you are interested in placing a bid on Rob's guitar and to get more information about the auction. This will be cool! Can't wait to see what Rob's guitar will go for. If Rob's baseball home plate artwork can go for $6,400, imagine what a fine, musical instrument with Rob's autograph could do. :)

Thank lifeloveartfilm for the heads up!

The ROBsessed/BagItTotes Scavenger Hunt is over and you guys are busy pulling together your answers to send to us. We'll post a recap for the questions later but in the meantime, we wanted to supply a "Rob is a giver" wallpaper that was requested during the ROBsessed Holiday Season and spread some awesome news from one of Rob's previous charities.

The wallpaper features Rob from his participation with Stand Up 2 Cancer, an autographed guitar that was auctioned for the Dio Cancer Fund and the Home Plate Project.

If you guys recall, the artwork displayed in the wallpaper is Rob's original artwork titled Unfinished City. Rob drew this piece on a home plate for the Home Plate Project of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Click HERE to relive what the Power of Rob brought to this charitable auction.

Tim and Cory from the Home Plate Project reached out to us recently in hopes of contacting Rob to participate in the 2013 Home Plate Project. They said Rob's contribution was amazing:
"[Rob's] impact, heavily aided by the support you provided us, was amazing. His fan base is passionate, you care tremendously about his causes and it showed big time."

This honor was announced at their holiday party in December and the whole team reflected on the great experience they had from Rob's lending hand and his impactful fan base.

While I would have rather enjoyed writing them back and saying, "Why yes, Tim and Cory! I can help you. Let me cc Nick in this email and we'll set up a lunch with Rob to discuss his next one-of-a-kind, home plate masterpiece," I had to instead wipe away a sad tear and explain that my connection with Rob is merely in my dreams. *sigh*

The silver lining is we do have this blog and well...this....

...so there's a slim chance we can help them out and get the message out there that Tim and Cory from the Home Plate Project of the Arizona Diamondbacks want you, Rob! Slim is better than nothing, right?

What do you guys think? Would you like to see Rob flex his Picasso muscles again and sketch another metropolis on the brink of completion? Maybe he'll finish the town with chimney'd roofs and plentiful greenery?

Fingers crossed and I can't wait for us to have another CharityRob post! If you'd like to contribute to a Rob charity in honor of his birthday, here are links for a few:
