Another drawing from the archives. Avatar Wan by @studiomir_official. Voiced by @steveyeun. Telling the first Avatar’s origin story was one of the highlights of the Korra series for me. 🌊⛰🔥🌪 . . . . . . . #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #michaeldantedimartino #legendofKorra #avataraang #avatarkorra #avatarfandom #fantasytvseries #korra #avatarwan #avatarorigins #studiomir #animation #animationart #anime #animeart
Since Comic Con isn’t happening this year I thought I’d use these next few days to post some great cosplay memories from the past. @bryankonietzko and I would often try to photograph cosplayers at our signings. This brilliant Tahno and Korra is @aicosu from 2013. 🌊⛰🔥🌪 . . . . . . . . #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #michaeldantedimartino #legendofKorra #avataraang #avatarkorra #avatarfandom #fantasytvseries #korra #tahno #tahnorra #comiccon #sandiegocomiccon #sdcc #sdcc2020 #avatarcosplay #avatarcosplayer #korracosplay #korracosplayer #korracostume #korracosplayers #wolfbats
I’m going through some of my photo archives of Avatar and Korra and came across these. Back in 2013, while we were working on Korra, @bryankonietzko @jds_77 #timhedrick and I visited master blacksmith @tony_swatton in Burbank. He gave us a tour of his shop and a demo of how he forged a replica of Sokka’s space sword out of a real meteorite! We took turns holding it and pretending we were Sokka. (Search for Sokka’s meteor sword on YouTube to watch the Man at Arms episode where Tony makes the sword. It’s pretty impressive.) ⚔️ . . . . . . #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #michaeldantedimartino #legendofKorra #avataraang #avatarkorra #avatarfandom #fantasytvseries #bryankonietzko #sokka #sokkaspacesword #sokkasmaster #swordandstone #swordartonline #meteorsword #manatarms #sokkasword #sokkaswordmaster

I did a virtual panel about all things in the Avatar publishing universe with @faitherinhicks @yeebookauthor and @geneluenyang. It was a fun conversation and great to catch up with these super-talented writers and artists. Hopefully we’ll see you in person next comic-con. I don’t know all the details about how this virtual comic-con thing is going to work but the panel is scheduled to go live on: Friday, July 24 • 1:00pm – 2:00pm PST You’ll have to manually enter the link at the appointed time: https://sched.co/d3st . . . . . . . . #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #michaeldantedimartino #legendofKorra #avataraang #avatarkorra #avatarfandom #fantasytvseries #korra #kyoshi #kyoshiwarriors #fantasybooks #femaleheroes #riseofkyoshi #riseofkyoshifanart #shadowofkyoshi #reincarnation #fantasynovel #fantasynovelseries #fantasywritersofinstagram #fantasywriter #comiccon #sandiegocomiccon #sdcc #sdcc2020 #darkhorsecomics #avatarcomics #korracomics

Reading “Florida” by #laurengroff and came across this passage in her short story “Snake Stories.” Feels especially insightful in the midst of what’s happening now but also universally true.
Hope you all have a peaceful 4th.
New book announcement! I have a new book coming out on May 2. This story is a departure from the fantasy genre I’m typically known for. It’s grounded in the real world, focusing on teens dealing with the real problems of grief and loss. It’s my most personal work yet. Here’s what it’s about: When the weight of a devastating loss threatens to consume fourteen-year-old Jack, he retreats into a world of denial, desperate to erase the pain of his darkest day. But at what cost? Jack Finn has experienced a perfect storm of grief and uncertainty with his father’s sudden departure, the impending loss of his beloved home, and his best friend Alyssa’s life-altering accident. But when Alyssa miraculously emerges from a coma with no memory of the incident, she turns to Jack for answers, forcing him to confront the painful truth he has been avoiding. Terrified of revisiting that fateful day, Jack finds comfort in an unexpected friendship with a local man named Renny, a philosophical survivalist haunted by the losses in his own past. As Jack and Renny navigate the treacherous terrain of their shared sorrow, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, battling their inner demons and unearthing the truths that could set them free. But will Jack have the courage to confront life’s uncertainties and find his way back to the light? Or will he succumb to the darkness that surrounds him? Journey alongside Jack as he embarks on an emotional quest to find solace and strength in the face of grief. Both Here and Gone is a heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting coming-of-age story with a psychological twist that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading. If this story sounds intriguing, you can preorder a copy on Amazon (link in bio). It will also be available at launch through Kindle Unlimited. And if all goes well, I plan to release paperback and audiobook versions in the future. #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #avatarthelastairbender #novels #comingofagebook #writers #KindleUnlimited #kindlebooks #kindleunlimited

I’m excited to announce that my new fiction podcast “Sundown” is out today on @audible! This is a project I’ve been working on since 2019. It deals with issues that we as a country have been grappling with for centuries including racism and the ongoing fight over the historical narrative. My goal was to make it equal parts entertaining and enlightening. Plus: time travel! Also, the score is by #avatarthelastairbender and #legendofkorra composer @jeremyzuck. More info at the link in my bio, including the show description and a sample. If you already have an Audible account, you can listen now. And if you don’t, Audible has a 30-day free option for the basic membership. Hope you enjoy!
