Another Usagi Yokai adventure painting (not story canon - just having fun) I was reading about Yonaguni- the underwater lost civilization and daydreaming about it being populated by Yokai. Would be a fun adventure to paint. (With apologies, of course to the wonderful @stansakai@julie_fujii_sakai ) #usagiyojimbo #art #illustration #yokai #yonaguni #painting #watercolor

Custom blank. It has been so fun connecting with folks about the 80’s cars in the Usagi series. This was a request for an 84 CRX. By the way! You can get issue 3 EARLY on @stansakai ‘s website! Go check it out!
Lock in because we have many announcements coming over the next two weeks. Today, we’re excited to share that fan-favorite @jaredcullum has finished his first arc for Kaito and has opened his list for @heroesonline . His previous list in February for OAX sold out quickly, so don’t miss out this time. Whether you’re attending the show or not, these will be available for mail-order too.
