From the Archive: “Press Art,” a portfolio by Peter Nobel

[These artists] took the newspaper as an advanced technical means of modernity and an expression of continuous change: news of the day—every day. With my wife, Annette, I discovered that, for the past century, a majority of artists had—at a certain time or for a specific occasion—painted, collaged, drawn, or played with printed material.

The Legend of Korra Book 2 premieres on the East Coast in just a few minutes! Here is a piece of press art that Ryu Ki Hyun drew and I colored, with a BG painting by Frederic Stewart, an exclusive for Entertainment Weekly/EW.com. Thanks for your patience in waiting F O R E V E R for new episodes!

For some reason, this "tight rough" for the second piece of press art we released didn't make it into the Korra art book, but I like it so I'm posting it here. I based it off of a storyboard panel of Joaquim's from the premiere episode, and he did some further revisions on top of my drawing, which are included here in what you might call a "jam." I wouldn't call it that. Without wincing.

Sorry again for the lack of posts! Our production schedule is simply brutal as we are working on Books 2, 3, and 4 simultaneously, and I have little time for anything else once I try to fit "being a human being" in there. Such is the nature of TV production and its protracted, overlapping schedules... Despite the absence and the delays (which are all symptomatic of The Difficulty of Making Animation and little or nothing else), I would (as I have in the past) humbly ask you for your continued patience: It is a good year to be a Korra fan, and a lot of great stuff is coming down the pipeline that we are excited to announce (when we are permitted to announce it) and to share with you all. Thanks, sincerely!

Hello, everyone! I wish I had some time to draw something new for the blog, but I've been buried in all sorts of work. So in an effort to post something related to the Book 1 finale this Saturday, here is the rough concept for the press art I posted last week. It might be interesting to those of you who like to see this sort of process work.

I have some more specifics on our San Diego Comic Con activities to share:

WHAT:  The Legend of Korra Comic-Con Panel WHEN: Friday, July 13 from 11:15a – 12:15p WHERE: Ballroom 20 WHO:  Co-creators and executive producers Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Joaquim Dos Santos (co-executive producer), Janet Varney (Korra), David Faustino (Mako), P.J. Byrne (Bolin), Seychelle Gabriel (Asami) and Andrea Romano (voice director).  The panel will include an in-depth discussion of Book 1 and a live performance by the voice actors.   WHAT:  The Legend of Korra Comic-Con Signing WHEN: Friday, July 13 beginning at 2:30 p.m. WHERE: Nickelodeon booth

I've been told that Ballroom 20 holds 4300 people, so just get 4300 people to hold your places in the Game of Thrones line for Hall H, and pop over to Ballroom 20 for a spell. Among other things, Andrea is going to lead the actors in a live table read of some key scenes from Book 1. We've never done that sort of thing at a panel, so it should be really fun. ***Remember: The actors are not the characters, so be nice to David. He isn't Mako. He just plays one on TV.

Which reminds me, I caught wind that there was a brutal war in the fandom this week. In lieu of me having time, let's all just pretend I drew a really funny comic about that and posted it just now. And we laughed. And it brought us joy. And the fandom hugged it out.
