I’m excited to share with you the final cover art (Korra drawn by Joaquim Dos Santos and painted by me, with a background painting by Fred Stewart) for the upcoming Korra Book One: Air art book, published by our good friends at Dark Horse Books. This was a real labor of love (heavy on the labor) for Mike, Joaquim, and me and all those who helped as we put this book together, and we are so proud of all the great artists’ work inside and can’t wait to share it with all of you. The plan is to do one of these art books per “book” of Korra (so four total), which is daunting yet fantastic. Direct market on sale date: July 24, 2013. Book market on sale date: August 6, 2013. 9” x 12” hardcover, 144 pages

michaeldantedimartino:

I’m excited to announce my new blog, which is mainly focused on story — why we need it and why it matters.  I invite you to check out my first ever “real” blog post.  If you enjoy what you read, I hope you share with others. I’d love to create a community of readers who love stories and want to explore with me as I try to figure out why some work and some don’t, and how story can be a way to see ourselves and our world in a different way.

I am incredibly lucky to work with Mike for a multitude of reasons, not only because he is one of my best friends, but also because he is one of my favorite writers. I am also excited that he is excited to announce his new blog about story. I’ve already learned something from his first two posts! I hope you will check it out too.

We had (in our opinions) a *HILARIOUS* Korra Book 1 DVD commentary session with Jeremy Zuckerman (left; music) and Benjamin Wynn (right; sound design) of the Track Team. If you heard the commentary we did with these guys years ago on Avatar, then you know what I mean when I say we continued the tradition.

Howdy, folks! I just returned from a nice visit to Oregon. One day I hope to move out of this dust bowl and up to some part of the Pacific Northwest. One day… Earlier this year, Mike and I taped a series of intros to every act of Book 1 (36 total) for Nicktoons where we talk about “making of” type stuff and my hair magically changes lengths between commercial breaks. They are going to start airing tonight. Check ‘em out! Korra Making Of A Legend Starts July 9th At 9PM ET! The Legend Of Korra comes to Nicktoons with exclusive commentary from the creators and Avatar Extras episodes, starting July 9th at 9PM ET! http://at.nick.com/Lk7Twh

Michael DiMartino, In His Own Words

Mike wrote a nice piece about his journey from being a little kid drawing G.I. Joe to co-creating and writing on his own series in the paper from his hometown, the Burlington Free Press. Check out the two-page article through the link above.

THE LEGEND OF KORRA PREMIERE PARTY, APRIL 14th, 2012 I love this shot of Mike with Dee Bradley Baker and his adorable daughter, Cora. The multi-talented Dee voiced Appa, Momo (and just about every other hybrid and non-hybrid animal), and Chong on the original Avatar series. On Korra, Dee plays Naga, Pabu, Oogi, and Tarrlok. You probably knew all of that, but what you might not have known is that Cora voiced 4-year-old Korra in the premiere episode. (The names were a coincidence.) Photo courtesy of Michael DiMartino

Here is a shot Mike and me with Janet Varney, the amazingly talented voice of Korra, at The Legend of Korra premiere party this Saturday, April 14. Here is a fantastic interview with Janet by Max Nicholson on IGN: page 1 and page 2. (I can’t recall who took this photo, but the camera was Mike’s, as was the processing. I’ll be uploading a bunch of shots from the party soon.)
