For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

I met Notch when I was working in Stockholm outside of my job. He had really smooth and soft hands.

in recent years I’d say Dizzie Rascal.

In my entire lifetime that award goes to Mandela

Quite literally bumped into Jacob Rees-Mogg in Chelsea. He looked terrified without his nanny around.

Unfortunately, it’s just a marionette of OpenAI, not a self-sustaining person.

Of course, but sometimes, I sure feel like I am working with another persons in fleeting moments.

Met Robert Patrick (best known as the T-1000 from Terminator 2).

He had a booth at a Horror convention. I knew nothing about the convention and didn’t know a ton about his other work, but his local agent asked their local family if they knew a Graphic Designer because the booth posters for Robert and Billy Boyd got lost in luggage.

I eneded up being a last minute call for help, had the agent send me what official images they had, and threw together what I could in an hour or two so I could get it to a printer in time.

Was right by Robert at his booth all day, interacting with his fans. He seems like he probably has some political views I’d disagree with, but I’ve never seen anyone spend time with fans like him. He truly put the time and work in with every single person in that line.

Had no clue how many diverse fandoms he was part of. He seems strongheaded, but very professional and super loving to the people that show up for him.

Got to have lunch with him and Billy Boyd that day, and they’re total dorks together in the best way. Billy Boyd is 100% the sweetest man and it was hilarious realizing he had voiced Chuckie.
