Stan had them at San Diego last summer. I prefer to buy the hardcover collections and the original art. My friend John picked first so no art for me that con, but I have others.

Best,

This was originally commissioned by a Dutch company that later went out of business. So as not to make it a complete loss, I used the image for the Grasscutter 2 signature plate.

Later, the print was picked up by a Belgian publisher and released about a year ago for the European market. There was an edition of about 300, but sold as a set with art by 5 other artists. There were an additional 75 copies that are sold individually. That particular print on e-bay is one of 25 "Exemplaides D'Artiste" or "Artist's Proofs". It is signed, with a very light pencil, on the lower left. I signed it last year at the Angouleme Festival in France and no one in our party had a soft-lead pencil so we had to borrow what we could. It's an archival-quality print, and is as close to the original as they could get.

Sorry Steven,

I couldn't resist my first published Usagi pieces to be the inexpensive

bookmarks. Next time I'll step aside.
