Katara - Waterbending Master

Just a really quick post tonight folks. I just got in from Orlando after a particularly tiring day. But I will answer yesterdays comments tomorrow AND I have a cool announcement too. In the meantime...

Above is the grown-up, PG version of Katara, the Waterbending Master from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Thanks to Lukacs for the commission! This is ink on 11" x 17" Canson Bristol Board.

Hmm, a cool annoucement after a trip to Orlando??? Now if that is not a reason to come back to this blog, I don't know what is!!!

Not familiar with Katara, but I want to be after seeing this! Great job Gene!

The announcement thingy and Orlando had nothing to do with each other, sorry. But I can see how you put that together. :) The Orlando trip was Labs related. We are doing a series of Gang Reduction events all over the state. About 300+ participants at each event. Here's one cool thing that happened: During the event, I was walking past the State Attorney General who was having a conversation with some Law Enforcement Officers, and he stopped his conversation to stop me and shake my hand and tell me how much he liked my work. We had a nice, brief conversation. Nice guy.

When a State Attorney General stops you, are you tempted to quickly make up some sort of alibi?

SAG: "Excuse me, Mr. Gonzales? May I speak to you for a moment"

Gene: "That's a load of crock man, I was home with my wife at the time!"

Like Gary, I am not familiar with the character, but I sure do enjoy seeing you draw her.
Waiting patiently for your upcoming announcement!

Oh, received Starfire in the mail yesterday. As Billy Crystal used to say...."She looks marvelous!"

Gene,

I bet the State Attorney General has one of your pieces of art hanging in his office!!!

Hey, where is that annoucement :-)

Royce- Enjoy the Starfire!

Royce - Actually Royce it was more like "Yes, sir. No, sir. Thank you very much, sir" Glad Kory made it to you safe and sound.

No Brian, no mouse ears. :)

Working on the announcement now Gary!
