This is a piece that makes me super excited for commissions. I've been seeing this image in my head for most of my life. It's so awesome and I'm glad you are love JG it just as much.

I agree, and I always love when it's included.

Thank you Eric! I have heard the comment from time to time about the pressure to contribute but I feel that Usagi is such a great character for people to express themselves and it comes through all the time. 

I got to see the progress of Troy putting this toget and I thought it was such a cool classic Samurai movie vibe. 

Yeah it's pretty mind blowing! I was shocked when I saw it and get shocked every time I look at it. It's definitely cover quality.

I need Samnee on a Barda book immeditaley. Amazing piece, congrats!

I love this one, and talked to John while he was doing it.

Awesome!, always down to talk Usagi and find cool artists.

I love this DBZ inspired Usagi!

Yeah I had a great convo with Jim about it, and he's also a big fan of Steve. It was such a great experience to sort of connect those 2 artists and watch them appreciate the outcome.

Thanks Matt, this piece is stunning in person. I also agree with the Stephen Green piece, he absolutely killed it.

I do know about Jared and definitely need to line something special up with him.

He's been putting out some awesome work, and i love seeing every one of them.

Agreed with it being impressive. Jack is a big Usagi fan and it shows in this wonderful place. 

For real and the answer is both of those are true! Jack is fantastic!

Haha I'm surprised too. It's crazy good. 

She's so good! I need to get some published work from her. Killer get, congrats!

And pinkies out!

Absolutely love this one!

Agreed! One of my favorite aspects of Usagi is the existence of nature. Elsa did an amazing job putting flowers and a butterfly in the foreground.

I'll keep it a secret, but I don't blame you.

Absolutely! I can't believe I own this!

It's so fun in person, I love every piece Sam does. 

Thanks Harry. I love it! Nicole has such a great style. You can probably tell I also enjoy others artist's depictions of Usagi. 

I freaking love this piece. Her face is so sharp and the skulls are excellent!

I've never wanted to hug someone with a sword so much.

I loved that series and this page is an absolute stunner from it! 

Love this page. Etrigan and Doctor Fate are just classic and fun in OA. 

I bought this book because I love this cover, glad to know you have it. Awesome piece!

Unbelievable piece! I'd love to own a Sakai cover one day. 

This page has got to be killer in person!

This is super fun and I love Diego's Angela!

Exactly! I love Stenbeck's and Mignola's skeletons. 

This piece is mind blowing and I can't believe how incredible it must look in person. 

Thanks Frank! Still can't believe I was able to snag this. The 90's are hot again! 

Thanks Eric, i do love those ninjas, some great poses as well.

Thanks duke!

I recently ran across Ethan and was impressed by all his Ghibli pieces. He did an incredible Usagi/Leonardo for me, and now this epic cover! I highly recommend his new book the Dragon Path and Nanjing: The Burning City. 

For real, I think I'm going to have to break out the NES game.

Absolutely amazing grail piece. 

Yeah this piece is super wild in person. I'll definitely reach out to Jonathan and always appreciate a good recommendation for Usagi. 

It turned out really well, extremely impressed by Ethan. 

haha Thank you! It's a pretty fantastic piece for sure.

Thank you Jimmy, I love how it turned out! I need to get a massive frame

for it. 

It's crazy in-person with the size that it is. 

This piece blows me away every time I see it. It almost tells this later in Usagi's life story that hasn't happened yet.

oh yeah they are fantastic, and I love the leaf on the water.

I really appreciate it. Usagi is such a dear character to me and it's wonderulto hear great stories about artists enjoying the character or having a lot of respect for Stan Sakai. I think Usagi really lends himself well to all kinds of interpretations. 

Appreciate the kind words. This collection has been an absolute blast to work on. I can't believe I have a Skottie piece in it and it's this cool!

It turned out better than I even thought. I'm an even bigger Tyler fan now. 

Thanks Andy, yeah I agree. I may pick up those pages as well. 

Absolutely awesome piece to have, and a great story to go with. Congrats.
