Cover to Sketchbook #3. I commissioned a drawing that would somehow include Usagi, Jotoro, and Gen (my three favorite characters) and some tokage. Apparently, Stan liked it enough to use it as the cover for a sketchbook. Nevermind the "glare." I'm too careful about this piece to take it out of its protective sleeve.

2007. Usagi and a tokage. Who could ask for more! Stan did this for Keira and I at Motor City Con.

2006. Letter granting permission for me to photocopy Usagi for my 7th grade English class. Not only couldn't I believe Stan's generosity in granting such permission, but he included a sketch for me as well. I still have the envelope too!

2010. Stan did this upon meeting our daughter, Ellie for the first time. This is one of my most cherished possessions now. Naturally, it will become Ellie's possession once she's old enough to not try to to eat it.

I can't stop looking at it, myself :D

I just put it in a nice frame today and am looking forward to hanging it in Ellie's bedroom.
