Artist's Comments

Back at the 08 New York Comic Con, Mike DiMartino asked me after seeing the Puppetbenders I had brought with me if I could make him one. I told him if he was coming to the San Diego Con I'd have one for him.

It feels good to have kept a promise. This time out I wasn't alone in crafting the duplicate of Puppet Aang though.

I had the skilled assistance of :iconjncomplete: and :iconanimantx: both of whom I am eternally grateful to for helping me get Aang, Katara and (most of ;)) Toph done in a few weeks time. Inside the lower half of the puppet in the inseam is a fabric tag that has a mini-dedication, date & names of those worked on it. We sweat to get him done on time but it was also a lot of fun too.

It was Saturday and I was dressed as Doctor Who. When I walked up to Mike & Bryan in the autograph line though, they both still recognized me with a "Hey, it's you!" :XD:

I guess I'm forever branded as "The Puppet Guy." Not that I mind of course. :D

Many thanks to both of them for creating such an enjoyable animated series and for always being so open & friendly with it's fanbase.

If it makes you feel better, you're "Fake Doctor" in my head first, and "also that guy who did the Zuko puppet" second.

She is all heroic and stuff and rides around the desert on a black horse. She wears black desert clothes, filmy and airy, but utilitarian. Also there are gold bits, and it's always breezy.

Way awesome, craftsmanship for the win.

You're very lucky to have met them twice! And they're very lucky to get a puppet. But they deserved it!
I'm glad for you!

Wow! That's awesome. But after seeing the hilarious genius that is Puppetbenders, who wouldn't want one of their own?
