The Gallery of Lobster Johnson

Post by Lobster Johnson »

I've been wanting to make a thread in this section of the forum for a while now, and now I've finally figured out how to post images (and it only took me 6 months!). :oops:
Here is the only piece of Stan Sakai art that I have:

Nice piece!

By the way, I recall you mentionned having some pages from Lobster Johnson, are they visible somewhere? (CAF maybe?)

Sometimes the forum software goes a bit funny... that attachment IS meant to be rotated 90 degrees heh. Silly software.

I'm not on CAF, but there are pictures of both pages in this thread: http://usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7599.

As a Christmas gift from my parents, I received this wonderful Usagi pencil sketch:

Included with it was one of the beautiful Dark Horse holiday cards (with a santa hat-wearing Usagi signature inside :D ):

And here's the head-sketch inside my recently obtained UY Saga vol. 2 hardcover:

(Sorry about the first two images being sideways. I'm not sure how to fix that.)

A big thank you to my parents, as well as to Sensei Sakai and Daniel Fujii!

I will hopefully have something else to add soon, depending on whether it's available or not. Hopefully! :)

I actually got socks, too... :roll:
I'm hoping to add the Witcher pencil sketch (http://stansakai.com/product/witcher-pencil-sketch/) from Stan's website to my collection, but I'm not sure if it's available or not. I submitted a contact form and asked, though, so hopefully I'll know within the next couple days. I know very little about the Witcher, but I really like the drawing. It reminds me of Yokai, one of my favorite stories.

Great peices LJ ! If you have any money left from the Holidays maybe you can win this auction on ebay. I think it would make a great addition to your collection and is reasonably priced (for now).

Best Wishes,

Thanks for pointing that out! I had no idea that was on eBay. I hope the price stays relatively low...
If so, I might bid.

They're not Usagi fans, but I do ramble on about Usagi to pretty much everyone I know... :roll: I am loaning my dad some of my Hellboy books, so once he's done with those I'll give him some Usagi books to read.
