Back in 2005, John H. offered to pick up a piece from Stan for me since we would both be at the late, lamented Wizard World Boston a few weeks later. I trusted in John's judgement to pick something cool and John totally delivered with this great depiction of Usagi and Jotaro. I later discovered it is the illustration of the title page for the trade Fathers and Sons! Thanks John!
I picked up this piece featuring Tomoe last year at I-Con along with the following piece, which is a bit rougher than most of Stan's work but I couldn't resist the rare appearance of Usagi's baby momma, Mariko.
Then these are some of the sketches from the hardcover editions:
And, as always, you can see my collection of Usagi sketches by other artists in the link below.

My latest acquisition!! I had arranged this commission ahead of time with Stan. He hadn't been sitting at his table when I showed up so I flipped through the pinups for sale in a folder and wondered if he had even gotten to it as he'd said he might not have time. But Stan soon arrived and when I introduced myself he smiled and pulled out this beauty out from behind the table.
I am blown away how well this piece turned out! He said he altered Katsuichi's appearance somewhat since he's going for a more streamlined look.
