  • I love his bite size series and his comic "Go With Grace" was really amazing as all his other works. He seems like sugh a great guy and he deserves a lot of viewers and a bigger audience. I really want to get his works and get his signature and tell him how much I adore his characters and damn I need to find and bring my "Go With Grace" copy shit. I'll find it by October. Anyway, I wanna give him a small present, maybe some yan yan or yummy drink. I hope he'll like it. And that I'm not super awkward about it. Gah.
• Vitaly of Romantically Apocalyptic
  • Not only is his webcomic fucking hilarious but the paintings are so well done and it's such a cool hybrid between photoshop, painting, costumes, and much more. I love it.
• Makoto Shinkai made 5cms falling and Voices of a Distant Star anime and manga
  • Loved each and every one of those works. I need to meet this man. They were very touching.
• Kevin Smith for his new movie
  • He did Clerks and its sequel, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob strikes back. He's fucking hilarious and cool and nerdy and so smart. I really want to his panel but it might be sold out and pricy :/. gahh.
