Merry Christmas Dojo!

It was a great Christmas celebration with my family. We took my mom out to breakfast. We saw my dad, sister, brother-in-law, auntie, uncle, cousins, nieces, and their friends. So fortunate to have family still alive and close enough to visit. Wishing all the best this coming new year!

I bought The Hidden graphic novel for Cheryl and Stan (https://stansakai.com/product/dark-hors ... idden-tpb/) drew this sketch in it for her. <3

So what's Usagi munching on? I was going to guess a pastry but then he'd get his fur all sticky and matted. :lol:

I missed out on getting the blue signed Sakai/Simonson poster so I went with the black and white version as a gift to myself.

It’s a rice ball. My family called it musubi (and we used to eat them with fried chicken at summer beach trips) but the Japanese Japanese call it onigiri.

Nice poster! Peace, maka

Under my bed. :P

The person I bought it from said it was given to him at the Sakai/Simonson dinner. I had never seen one before so I had to have it. Other than that I don't know much about it.

EDIT: I did a little Googling and found the following information. I'm assuming the individual purchased both packages. It has an embossed seal that says something about the event. I have no idea how many people purchased both dinner packages so I don't know how rare this thing truly is. Maybe less than 50 prints?
