Stan Sakai wrote:Usagi was very highly profiled at the con. There were free posters, using the image from the ECCC ad on the back covers of the more recent issues of UY without all that text. I have a few extras. Once I get settled in a few days, I'll set up a posting for people who want one. Bare in mind that I have only a dozen or so extras. The same image was also on the con shirt. There was even one BOTTLE OF WINE with that image etched and hand-colored that went up for auction, benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

Yes there was fully etched and handpainted wine bottle at the Emerald City Comicon benefitING ACTOR. The artwork on the 1.5 liter bottle was based on the "Usagi over Seattle" image advertised on almost everything at the show. A really great image! Too bad the show coordinator bought the original

I etched ACTOR's logo on the reverse with the wine information and event location below. The piece took over 8 hours to paint. I would really like to find out who ended up with the bottle at the shows raffle. I was told that Stan even signed it. Here is a digital image of the bottle (front and back). Sorry for the poor scan and glare from the glass. Overall I was very happy with the piece and I'm glad Stan got to see it.
