PSA: My kind of Supergirl  
As we are posting girl-wonder auction items for preview, I can bring to your attention this art by Renato Guedes. Even if you don't have the $70 to bid on it, take a look at it. Remember how Supergirl looked like a vaguely insectoid rendition of a Bratz doll for a while? Here's a girl you'd want to have pulling you out of a burning building. It makes me want to read the book. I just look at it and *siiiiiiiigh* with happiness.

Aw, what a nice guy!
Betty[info]brown_betty on August 7th, 2007 09:18 pm (UTC)
He seems really nice. He corresponded with Rachel even though they have basically no language in common. :)

Renato is incredibly sweet--one of the nicest people with whom I've had the chance to correspond. And my friend Katie, who ended up covering for me at Comic Con, says he's just as wonderful in real life.

Actually, his written English is great--enough that we were able to communicate really easily--but we don't speak a common language. He's fluent in Spanish and Portugese and has a little bit of functionally useless school-style spoken English--about the same as my very rusty high school Spanish. We had this great plan for meeting up for drinks at Comic Con; if we couldn't find a translator, we were going to arrange simple objects and describe them to each other, since that's about all we could do...

That is the best art EVER. *loves it*

Isn't it? She's just gorgeous. Renato is my imaginary boyfriend.

THAT DRAWING IS IN MY APARTMENT RIGHT NOW. I cannot express how much willpower and forebearance I am exercising by keeping it posted at G-W and packed in its big cardboard envelope instead of quietly disappearing to the frame store.

Supergirl drawing? What Supergirl drawing?

Of course, you're all gonna recognize my incredible altruism by bidding in October, riiiight?

you may wish to remove the link as it no longer goes to supergirl art. I believe it's been replaced with goatse.
yeah. um. *relurks*
Betty[info]brown_betty on August 14th, 2007 08:29 pm (UTC)
Yeah, our forum got hacked, but it's been flushed and scrubbed, so that link should now go to what it ought.
Betty: Elsa[info]brown_betty on August 14th, 2007 08:57 pm (UTC)
I mean, thank you! Sorry, I've been a bit scattered while restoring the backup.
