Noto Batgirl 2003 Charlotte

I was in Charlotte waiting in line for Tony Harris with my friend Kevin. I notice that no more than 4 tables away, Phil Noto began setting up. I stepped out of line (thanks Kevin for holding my place) and to my surprise, Phil remembered me from the Atlanta Con. He was nice enough to point out that he had his watercolor paints with him and offered to do my sketch in that medium. How could one possibly say no? I promptly requested a "batgirl" and got back in line for Tony Harris. Later that night in the hotel room, a harrowing thought came over me. What if he drew the "new" Batgirl? Of course I would be pleased with anything that Phil did, but I was really hoping for Barbra Gordon. Apparently Phil Noto has the ability to read minds as well as paint beautiful women; because when I came back to the convention the next morning, he was already half-way through this amazing Batgirl. Thank you Phil.
