Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

A friend of mine just showed me this video. It shows Stan getting interviewed while sketching the Usagi and TMNT sketch from this year. I'd imagine that it has already been posted but just in case, I wanted to post it. It is a great interview and a chance to see the Master at work. http://blip.tv/fa...

MANY THANKS TO MR. SAKAI. What a great start to this year's Fighting Cystic Fundraiser!

Ending today.

Good day Dojo, I have listed the AMAZING Usagi and TMNT sketch I got from Mr. Sakai this year at SDCC 2012. It is listed for auction on ebay. The auction will end this Sunday. Here is the link of the auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/180985640162?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l264...

Thank you. It is an amazing work of art. I don't want to sound like a sycophant, bit Mr. Sakai is a true master. Up close this painting is truly beautiful.

Good day Dojo. This week I have another of Mr. Sakai's AMAZING original art (I can't call it a sketch, it is much more than that) donations for my Cystic Fibrosis charity. I got this at Wondercon this year. It is painted in watercolor, and it is beautiful! Like I always state Mr. Sakai has been one ...

Or a Usagi /TMNT crossover sketch?

That would be something. But nothing would surprise me. Every year it just gets better.

The final sale price was $209.50.

I hope it went to someone here.

And as always, Stan, THANK YOU FOR YOU AMAZING SUPPORT!

Here is the website so you can check to see what other sketches I have to auction off this year.

The sketch ends in about 6 hrs.

I was going to come in a post about the sketch tonight but I see I was beat to the punch. All I can say is that this sketch is amazing! I did bring a box of colored pencils, but I think someone had already given you a box. I do want to share that I have put up a website for the Fighting Cystic Fibro...

Congrats. You will love it.

why do I not mention the charity in the auction? After I got the sketches the first time from SDCC and it was time to auction them off, I had not yet become an ebay seller with a store like I have now. (in fact the first thing I ever sold on ebay was a Cystic Fibrosis sketch). So I asked my friend ...

I tried for about 3 hrs straight to get tickets. All I was able to get was a 1 day Thursday.

All 4 days sold out. 1 day Sat, sold out. 1 day Friday, sold out!

Uggh!

Good luck. It is beautiful.

And one thing that you can't tell by the scan is the way the colors blend and the texture and depth. I really wanted to start this year's auctions off with a bang.

This Usagi was an easy choice for that purpose.

I am attempting to post a reply over at the Adam Hughes yahoo group but I am having a problem doing it. (I've never posted at a yahoo group) But for the public record. Here is what I typed out. Good day everyone. This is Elveen. I was over at the Usagi boards posting an update about the Usagi Cystic...
