I have a couple favorite artists, that I buy thier books no matter what title it is - seriously. One is Chris Bachalo, and the other is Humberto Ramos, and Keron Grant comes in a not so distant third. So far I'm been fortunate to meet two of my top three favorite artists - Keron at SDCC - and now Ramos at WWTX. Nice guy, even though the only words I could get out of my mouth were - "its an honor meeting you, you've been a huge inspiration to my career".....lame, I know.....I still got a picture with him though.....HA! LOL.
So there....there was MY fan boy moment.
*EDIT* - For those that don't know, Ramos on the right, Me on the left.....such a geeky smile - my gawd - lame, lame, LAME!
I love these kind of moments. I stood in line at the WonderCon just to meet David Finch, 3 1/2 hours. My first words were the same as yours. My wife just held the camera and she just knew what this meant to me. I have always wanted to meet Humberto Ramos, his "Crimson, and Spider-man were amazing. " I'm impressed how humble they are toward us fans.
i am a HUGE fan of Ramos - and to trip over my own tongue was embarrassing, but yet worth it. Now if i ever had the chance to meet Bachalo...yeah, i dont think i would be able to speak...at all...lol
jesus christ... pros like you still get the fan boy butterflies!? now I'm more than sure I'll shit If I ever meet Dave Finch or Leinil Yu lmao awesome though. most people would never agree they "geek" out.
