For this week trivia, send me a pm with a list of at least two occasions when some original art by Stan Sakai was publicly exhibited.

You can list more for bragging rights. :D

Twice sorry, I just realized that the trivia ended Tuesday evening, while I was sure it was supposed to end last night. :oops:

I could have sworn there was an exhibit somewhere in Europe in the early 2000's. I wanted to say Spain, but I couldn't find any info on it.

I should probably get the August/September prize pack figured out and posted... :roll: I know it'll have at least one pretty rare item, with something very similar (though I believe less rare) having sold for $76 on eBay recently. :wink: Guess I'll put that on my to-do list for tomorrow.

Yes!

Since you got the right answer again, now you have to post two trivia questions..... :D

PS
Isn't this fun?

(If you answer correctly, you'll have to post a third trivia question.....)

There was also the Otomo exhibit in Angoulême in 2016 with one piece by Stan. The trivia was about exhibits with at least some pieces by Stan, not necessarily exhibits with only Stan's work.

Those aren't the exhibits I'm thinking of. I remember the original art for the print that has Usagi with Tomoe, Gen & Katsuichi was hanging on a wall. It's one of my favorite pieces of art Stan has ever created. I want to say ziritrion posted about it. He was an active member in the early 2000s.

I hope I didn't make this exhibit up in my head. :lol:

I hope one of the "rare" items is a Rose City Comic Con badge. 8) I just saw one on Instagram.
