Souvenirs

Well San Diego Comic-Con 2014 has come and gone.  As always, it was a great chance to catch up with some old faces, and meet some new ones.  This year, as I've mentioned earlier in my blog (here and here), I submitted four pieces of artwork for inclusion in the Comic-Con Souvenir Book.  All four of them were accepted, and three of them were run full page!  I had presented abbreviated versions of the art on my blog to maintain the surprise, but now that the book is out, I now present the complete designs for your viewing pleasure (click the image to see it larger):

The fourth image was the Usagi Yojimbo poster I posted earlier on my blog.

I've been spending a bit of my extra time drawing robot sketches.  These were done in preparation for a book project I hope to have ready by Comic Con.  More later.

For you comics fans, here's a little drawing I did for for the Stan and Sharon Sakai Benefit Auction.  Stan Sakai, the creator of the comic book Usagi Yojimbo, has had some very tough times recently.  His wife recently acquired a rare debilitating disease.  After an extended stay in the hospital, she is home, but requires 24-hour care.  The cost of the care is more than the Sakai's insurance covers, so The Cartoon Art Professional Society is putting on an  auction to help raise money to offset some of the Sakai's ongoing medical expenses.  Donations can be made here, and the first in a series of benefit auctions will be held beginning March 5 via Ebay under the name "CAPSauction".
