It had to happen...

Here is the final painted piece for the

Usagi Yojimbo tribute book

from Dark Horse Comics.

Look for the book when it comes out,

there are some incredible works of art in it!

 In other news,

battle lines were finally drawn between

the ballroom dancers and the swing dancers

at "Rocko's, the TreeWorld's Dancing Capital & Bar"!

Yet benefiting for Stan Sakai

Stan Sakai created the character Usagi Yojimbo (1984).

I've only met him briefly at conventions but

the impact he has on my work is tremendous.
I like to think that a lot of Stan's creativity stems from

his relationship from his wife, Sharon.

 

 But now... (copied from the website) he is in need of some financial help after his wife, Sharon, who has suffered from a debilitating illness for quite a while now, had a long stay in the hospital. Sharon’s back home now, but she needs 24-hour in-home care and several costly medications. The Cartoon Art Professional Society, a group of comics creators, has organized an effort to help.
CAPS has organized an auction to benefit them.

 Here is my contribution to their auction:

Yes it is all about the love but

sometimes...

it's personal.

Next week,

it's back to the usual gang of Yets and

maybe a two-fer.
