I am thrilled to attend SDCC, widely regarded as the pinnacle of pop culture conventions. I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Sakai and his IP Usagi Yojimbo, illustrating covers that have opened many doors for me in the comic book industry. I have several covers coming out with Marvel, and my first TMNT cover will debut at the convention.”

  2. There is an upgrade option. You can choose a Shikishi or Blank Comic Cover for the sketch with this option. It’s a 10-15min drawing with the shading with Copic marker. Also, you can give me five words to suggest. However, please ensure this is not a commission, so I can only commit to following some of your inspirational words.
