USAGI YOJIMBO!

I had the pleasure of meeting Stan Sakai at SDCC a few years back. He was a really great guy. Did a couple sketches for me, and I bought 3 different trades from him. Been hooked on Usagi Yojimbo ever since.

Stuck with the B&W on this one, since our theme is the "Black & White Explosion". Hope you enjoy my take. If you haven't read any Usagi Yojimbo...go fix that immediately. Thank me later.

Cheers
Patrick

    I am loathe to tell you how awesome (and jealous) I am of your pick this week after your last post but... it is pretty rad.

    Thanks buddy. Remember, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't bust your balls. ;)

    Thanks Josh! Seriously...go get some trades. You won't be disappointed. Or heck, even a single issue. Great art, and fantastic storytelling. I'd recommend either the first trade volume, or the "Grasscutter" trade. No matter what you do, you can't lose with Usagi Yojimbo. IMO.

    That's an impressive version of Usagi Yojimbo. I have to admit, I have read the first two or three trades, but never pursued it further. I'm a bad, bad person....

    Thanks a ton guys! Sometimes it all just clicks and you end up with a great piece. Rarely do I feel good about a drawing when I'm done, but I'm proud of this one. :)
