Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

ReNoir, The Italian publisher of Usagi Yojimbo, has mentioned recently that there will be two new publications available at Lucca Comics 2015.

The first one they announced was Usagi Yojimbo "'Edizione Speciale Volume 3"



The second book which ReNoir is making available will be The 47 Ronin



Of course, both books will be translated into Italian.





(Also, due to upcoming changes in Imageshack's hosting policies, mainly the discontinuation of free accounts, all the images I have posted on the forums here will become inactive around the beginning of November)

(transfer over to Photobucket then Steve?)

Yeah, I switched over to Photobucket a couple years ago. I thought Imageshack already got rid of the free tier back then (at least I couldn't upload any new pictures) but at least they continued hosting my previously uploaded content. Sounds like even that will change?

My first photobucket hosted image....

The drawing of Usagi on the dragon was used as a cover for The Comics Journal, right? I think I just saw it yesterday in the back of the Fantagraphics Special Edition Collection (which I finished yesterday ). That's one of my favorite Usagi drawings.

Correct.

Did you happen to come across a Ninja TURTLE?

No, but I've been keeping an eye out. I'll be going on a more thorough search tonight.

ReNoir sold out of 47 Ronin books this morning, and the publisher had to drive the 6 hour round trip to get more. One staff estimates that I've already drawn sketches in 300 books, and that is not counting those that just require a head sketch and signature. And the festival us only half over.

I received a lifetime achievement award tonight.

Nice.
Congratulations Sensei Sakai!
Best wishes to all,
go

Congratulations on your award, Stan! I hope you are enjoying the festival.

Congratulations on the award, it is well deserved!

I have my fingers crossed, hoping one of those 300 sketches (in a copy of 47 Ronin) finds its way to me.

Awesome!
Congratulations Sakai-Sensei
I wish you all the best during your stay in Italy (and that you're eating some good food).

Congrats
