Weekly Trivia challenge Oct. 5th-11th

[Trevis Woods]

The Sakai Project hardcover is such a cool book that allows us to see different artist's interpretation of Stan's amazing character, Usagi Yojimbo. I have many favorites but one that I really love is the topic of this week's question.
If I don't receive any correct answers over the next day or so, I will expand on the clue list as the week unfolds.

I'm looking for the name of the artist, the page number it appears on in the Sakai Project and although the Turtles are not in the piece he contributed, which of the four primary TMNT weapons is missing in the piece?

Here are the first three clues:
1. Male artist with many published books almost all as the writer and the artist.
2. Recent cover artist for a VERY popular book series (the book series is not one of his creations)
3. B____ C____ Productions

Good luck to all!

Great question! It gives me a good reason to browse through my Sakai Project book again and enjoy the art.

[Trevis Woods]

No guesses yet...next three clues...

4. Scholastic Books
5. Born in Tokyo, Japan
6. Leo's weapon is not missing

Still looking for the artist's name, page number in the Sakai project and which TMNT weapon is missing in the art piece he contributed.

[Gaffey]

I just saw this and decided to give it a go. I may be way off because I didn't look to verify any of the 6 clues. I remembered seeing a piece with TMNT weapons, but I thought all four were represented.

[Trevis Woods]

Gaffey has all three correct
Mayhem has two of three correct
Somebody give these guys some competition

[Trevis Woods]

Steve and Maichan have answered correctly.
With this many correct answers, I will not be posting anymore clues. It seems the clues provided are enough to find the correct answers.
Thanks all!

Congratulations Steve!

Congrats Steve!

I'll try to post a picture of the Kazu Kickstarter sketch I won later this week. One of my colleague friends on campus was his major advisor. He introduced me to his work. Although I still remember his daily comic strips in our college newspaper.

Peace, maka
