Happy Birthday to the incomparable LeVar Burton (born February 16, 1957)— a true icon of storytelling, imagination, and compassion. From guiding generations of young readers on Reading Rainbow to inspiring future explorers as Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, his work has opened minds and hearts around the world. This pencil portrait is created as a small tribute to his legacy, with all traditional pencil work (ebony pencil on smooth Bristol paper) done by artist Greg Joens. May this drawing honor the warmth, wisdom, and inspiration LeVar Burton continues to share with fans everywhere.
