Do we have a guide here to all the posters and prints?.....
AH! Scratch that, I found it..... but it's been stricken with the Photobucket curse.
It's located in -
兎用心棒 希少性 - Usagi Yojimbo Kishō-sei -
http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/view ... =18&t=8057
Maybe that should be re-titled to make it easier to find?
Anyways.... I'm trying to find out the name of this print....

I call that one The Orange Print (not to be confused with Orange Sky). This was 11x14 inch and painted with cel vinyl, just about the first time I used that medium.

Here's another one I'm trying to sort out....
It's only about 11 x 7 inches.
Does anyone know if it has an official title? And if there is any background info on it.... what, where, why....???

This one was called "Surrounded" and was printed by Fantagraphics. Kim, my then editor, had an idea to get rid of a bunch of back issues by selling them in 6-packs. That is, bagging six UY comics and offering them to comic stores at a discount and with a signed print. He figured we could sell up to a thousand packs. When the orders came in, we were surprised it was 2700.
This art was made specifically for the print.

Thanks again Stan!
This is what makes the Dojo is such an awesome place! When the creator himself will take the time to answer our nagging questions!

Fantagraphics never got through all 2700 mind you, there were still some left when it ran the Kickstarter a few years back and offered it as a perk.

These ones seem to pop up quite often on ebay.
Should not be too hard to find.
