Another Usagi sketch giveaway...

Post by john h. »

Stan has agreed to do 2 sketches for board members at MegaCon.

I'll mail the sketch to each fan for free.

Last time, I did it for the international fans. So this time it's for the

U.S. fans.

Here's the rules:

1. U.S. fan

2. Doesn't already have a sketch from Stan.

3. Won't see Stan in the near future at a con or appearance (6 months).

4. First 2 people to reply to this thread that meet the 1st 3 rules.

5. Sketch MUST be personalized.


Good luck,


John H.

I meet the first three rules. I wouldn't mind having a sketch.

I meet the rules, however, there is no way I can make it to MegaCon.

Does that still count?

Tinlantern,

Yes, it counts. This is meant for those NOT able to see Stan.

So the 2 are picked.

It's already been said, but here it is again:

This is really generous and caring of both of you; thank you very much for your trouble and concern, John H. and Stan Sakai! :D

And congratulations to the winners! I hope you'll grant us the privilege to see some scans/photos of these sketches, right?!

Yeah, I'll scan mine and post it when I get it. I'll get a nice frame for it too.

Thanks, you've made my day! I live somewhere that has very few comic book conventions, let alone any that Stan goes to, and I don't travel very much, so I don't have many opportunities to get sketches.

This just goes to show that you meet some pretty cool and generous people on the Internet sometimes! I actually once got a lobby card signed by Italian horror legend Dario Argento like this once!

I just want to thank the both of you (Mr. Sakai and John) for their generosity. I have been reading Usagi since I was a kid (now I'm an "adult").

Every Friday my mom, sister, and I had family dinner out somewhere in downtown Bloomington, IN. I would always walk down the street to Vintage Phoenix (our comic shop) and pick up Usagi from my box. I couldn't believe they let a 10 year old have a reserve box!! Then I would read Usagi at the table (secretly).

Sorry for the personal stories, but I really respect an artist's dedication to his/her fans.

Simply, thank you.

John, not sure why you wrote this a second time, but just in case.
I meet the requirements and would love a sketch.
