STAN & SHARON SAKAI BENIFIT AUCTION

This is Cool! This is an Original piece of art by Fan Favorite... Darwyn Cooke. This is an original "Green Lantern" drawing. This is done in Pen/Ink on bristol paper and is about 10 1/2 X 14 inches in size. This is a great example of Darwyn's animation style art.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Darwyn Cooke broke old ground in a new way, writing and drawing his 2004 mini-series, DC: The New Frontier. He brought a modern style and sensibility to the mixed bag of 1950s super-heroes that became DC’s iconic Silver Age stars, mashing them up with post W.W. II optimism and the excitement of the early U.S. Space Program. In this dynamic sketch, Darwyn gives us the Hal Jordan Green Lantern of those halcyon days, soaring high above the planet Earth. A veteran animation artist and director, he moved into comics in 2000, writing and drawing his takes on Catwoman, and the Spirit, as well as the numerous heroes of The New Frontier. His most recent work includes the terrific and highly successful adaptations of Donald Westlake a.k.a.Richard Stark’s dark and violent Parker crime novels for IDW. His collection of awards includes and Eisner and the Joe Shuster Award for Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Cartoonist.

ABOUT THE AUCTION: This is an auction conceived and organized by CAPS (Comic Art Professional Society) to help aid USAGI YOJIMBO creator Stan Sakai and his wonderful wife Sharon with increasing medical bills due to Sharon's present debilitating illness. We have donations by many of the industry's top artists, companies, and fans alike. With over 400 pieces to be auctioned here, we will be listing 30-40 pieces of original art, signed prints and books, and limited edition statues every week. Each auction will run 10 days, and will start on every Thursday for a minimum of 10 weeks. Be sure to bookmark this page, and let's raise some money for a great guy and his family!

While eBay prohibits us from listing specific names of the SPECTACULAR artists who personally gave us art to sell in our series of auctions, we have a lot of talented artist and amazing items, and encourage you to check out our other auctions, and to bookmark this page since we will listing 30-50 items every week...

USAGI YOJIMBO BOOK: As a major part of our auctions, we will be selling many pieces of Usagi Yojimbo tribute art by fans and professionals alike. Much of this art will be published in July by Dark Horse in the book THE SAKAI PROJECT: ARTISTS CELEBRATE THIRTY YEARS OF USAGI YOJIMBO. Because of their love for Stan & Sharon, the list of professionals who contributed to this project is unbelievably impressive!

SHIPPING: All shipping will be done once a week, due to the volume, and the fact that this is all being done by volunteers. We will charge a fee for shipping based by weight. Most art weighs just over 1lb to ship AFTER packing material, and we will be adding 1.00 to each item to cover said packing material (handling), all items will go out thru USPS Priority Mail with Cert. Of Delivery.

OVERSEAS / CANADA: We will also ship Overseas and Canada by weight PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE. We cannot use "Proof of Delivery" for overseas packages unless you pay for "International Priority" but you will have a US Customs number to track items.

MULTIPLE ORDERS: We will gladly combine shipping, but PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE! But Selling this many pieces, I can not "hold" your items while you wait for more to be listed. You must pay for any items you won, then if you are bidding on more, I can wait to mail it (but never more than 2 weeks at a time). I understand you might want to buy things every week, but, for paperwork reasons, you will just receive multiple packages every few weeks.
