I& #39;ve had so many run-ins with comic folk, but because I don& #39;t attend cons no one knows me so I keep my mouth shut. Feels pretentious to be like, "Hello fellow comic creator. I too create comics!"
Once a friend and I waited in line at a NYC hotel behind @seangallowayart
We were both leaning in like "holy shit, it& #39;s HIM"!

I saw him another time in NYC on the street, happened to have my kids with me. I quietly pointed him out & told them the Spider-man cartoon they loved looked the way it did because of him :-)
Another time I had lunch in Baltimore with @sinKEVitch and said ZERO words about my work cause how does one even bother saying they draw when at a table with THE BILL SINKEVITCH!?
Dude is super nice, BTW.

I had an entire conversation with Steranko and didn& #39;t mention being an artist :-)
I got publishing advice from the great @ColleenDoran near DC, not mentioning I was already making comics.
Best advice on publishing I ever got, she didn& #39;t care that I was "nobody".
Forever grateful.

YEARS ago I handed an artbook to Kyle Baker, then walked off before he could respond.
Just wanted to tell him I was a fan, give him a book, not ask anything of him.
Much later we& #39;d be interviewed in the same issue of DRAW! magazine.
Surreal.

Not even about being shy or anything, just hated the feeling "networking", I was just being fan.
Not totally true, I was star struck once by Sergio Argones. Saw him on an elevator and couldn& #39;t speak. Doors opened, he walked out & @Oeming leaned his head out, points at me and and yelled "He& #39;s a BIG fan!"
Doors closed, elevator moves & we hear Sergio say "THANK YOU!"

I met Wil Eisner once too. I was up for an award, I waited till he wasn& #39;t being mobbed by people, this time I ACTUALLY introduced myself as a creator.
I said I was up for an award & I& #39;d gotten into the business because of him....
