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....??? :roll:

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! :D

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

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.
