I don't think she is, but she was sitting in the second row and asked some very good questions, so I chose her as the target of my thumbnail.

No, there is no video.

This piece went for $1100. A nice amount for charity.

I did another color piece on Sunday, but that was not for an auction. I will post a photo of it later on my LJ.

Wow, that was a little larger than I expected, how long did it take you to complete from start to finish Stan? Also, props to whoever bought it (do we know who?) for giving that amount to charity, certainly well worth it. If I'd have been there, I would certainly have been competing for it

I think it took about half an hour to finish, but it could have been longer since I sometimes lose track of time when drawing.

It was bought by Frank Miller. No, not THAT Frank Miller, another guy. Frank is an Usagi fan I met there. He brought his entire collection of UY hardcovers for me to sign, and I obliged. He told me later that someone had approached him after the auction and told him that, "If I did not have to catch a plane to get home, that piece would have gone for a lot higher." The art was about 20x30".

It was awesome! I got a few photos and wished I had that kind of money to have tried to bid for it. Sighs, but I loved the piece I wish I knew when you were drawing it cause I would have loved to watched you work. Overall it was an amazing piece and well worth the price.

Also thank you again for the piece, I will have the Usagi pic I did done soon and posted for everyone here and sent on its way to you. I have your drawing already framed and over my desk with some other prints, posters, and works by friends.

I hope you will come again to Baltimore, or at least the East Coast. I wish we could have fan boyed more over manga, Takahasi, and Toryama. BTW did you see that the original Dragon Ball series is now on DVD for the US, and in uncut form?

Here is my Live Journal account of the con, including photos of a Mr Potato Head tokage and the Sunday crayon drawing for a 2 year old.

Great Crayon Drawing. I must say you are one of the nicest people I have meet in the professional art field. I hope the little girl, Pepper?, liked it.
