Description
This is the piece of artwork I submitted to the STAN SAKAI PROJECT coming soon from Dark Horse.When I was 18-19 years old I bought a long box of comics at a garage sale for $25 which contained a few issues of the early Fantagraphics "Usagi Yojimbo" comics. The cover to #7 was always stood out as one of my favorites which is why I chose to recreate the piece here for the STAN SAKAI PROJECT.
The cover recreation was penciled w/ 4h lead on Strathmore bristol then scanned then inked and colored digitally. The original pencil artwork is now up on eBay at: www.ebay.com/itm/STAN-SAKAI-AU…
