Usagi Painted Watercolor for Cystic Fibrosis

Post by Elveen »

Good day Dojo. This week I have another of Mr. Sakai's AMAZING original art (I can't call it a sketch, it is much more than that) donations for my Cystic Fibrosis charity. I got this at Wondercon this year.

It is painted in watercolor, and it is beautiful!

Like I always state Mr. Sakai has been one of the BIGGEST supporters of our charity (and honestly the nicest person I have met these last 4 years getting sketches). Every year he keeps donating amazing work for us. I always start the yearly auctions with what I get at SDCC from him, so I thought it was appropriate to end this year with a Usagi.

So here it is.

And the MAN!

Here is a link to my ebay store, you can find the sketches in the CF section: http://stores.ebay.com/Elveens-Comics-and-Collectibles

I also have a news website. Is it not much, but it is a start. Here it is: http://www.fightingcysticfibrosis.com/


Lastly, I want to again Thank Mr. Sakai for all the work he has donated to us in the past. Cystic Fibrosis research has come a long way and there is some real help coming. But really, in the midst of all the chaos of trying to get sketches at SDCC and Wondercon (and even one year at LBCC) my spirit is always calmed when spend time with Mr. Sakai. Talking to him (and having him sign the TPBs for my twins) is always one of the highlights of my con experience.

Thank you.

Amazing piece of art to help raise money for Team Alyssa and the fight to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis!

I posted links to the ebay auction on the UY Dojo Facebook page as well.....

Thank you. It is an amazing work of art. I don't want to sound like a sycophant, bit Mr. Sakai is a true master. Up close this painting is truly beautiful.

I saw it earlier today on the bay. Great looking art! I'm sure it'll command a hefty donation :)
