ORIGINAL ART? COMISSION?

OK, not sure if this is the right place but...
First, I'm from Spain, so excuse any misspellings and some sentences that may sound weird.
A cousin of my wife is a great fan of UY. He was very upset that he couldn't go to the Madrid con where Stan was some years ago because he had a exam (he failed anyway, so he now is even more upset when he talks about that).
Now he's going to marry next may and we would like to know if there's some chance to buy original art or ask for a comission for a wedding present. I haven't seen much original art from UY, so I'm not sure if that's possible but I think it will be a great present for him. (For the bride we'll buy somethig else, of course).
Best,
Jaume

Welcome

Given Sensei Sakai is an active member of his own Dojo forum here, then I'm sure he will spell out the specifics required for such a request when he sees your post.

I will say that you most likely will need to converse and arrange something with a person who is able to pay for and collect any piece in person as such matters are rarely, if ever, conducted remotely and sent out into the mailing system. Unless Stan's convention schedule for Europe next year will allow you to attend somewhere he will also be at, so you can pay for and collect in person yourself.

Hello ZORGLUB,

Unfortunately, I am not able to accept any commissions because of my workload. I am pretty far behind on my Usagi deadlines right now. I have some trips coming up soon that will probably put me even farther behind.

PITY!
It would have been a great wedding present.
Good luck!
