Good question. Selling drawings of Usagi that you did yourself? As long as he's advertising that he did them and not Stan I don't see too much harm myself, but who knows, maybe it is technically illegal. To tell you the truth though I really doubt there will be any takers.
Jeez, people are selling literally EVERYTHING on eBay nowadays.

I'm not sure. I'm almost certain he'd need Stan's express written concent before doing something like this.

Technically, it would be a violation of my copyright. However, I tend to treat this as just a bit of fan art. I've drawn other people's characters myself, though I would usually add a copyright notice.
If he were to do this on a much larger scale, he would have to get a license from me. But two drawings for $2 each...I can overlook it.

These things aren't very well drawn either...
They look like something you could do with a lighted table.
I guess he would be laughed at had he added Stan's signature to them. But a copyright notice would have been nice, yes...
