Dogu Publishing is excited to announce that not only will the legendary illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita be joining Stan Sakai at San Diego Comic-Con at Booth #4807, but he will also be offering an exclusive signing and sketching opportunity. This is your chance to meet him, and to own something very special.

CGC will be on hand to witness all signings.

Signatures

While Arita will only sign “non-Poke” items, this is a unique chance to own something special from the iconic artist. Signatures will be available for:

• Signature: $20
• Signature with Remark: $100

*Arita will be signing non-Poke items only.

Here is his signing schedule:

Sketching

In addition, Arita will be creating quick, personalized sketches for “non-Poke” subjects. For those looking for his signature Zoomorphic and Superhero animal mutations, there are two options:

• 5-minute Sketch: A quick sketch of Arita’s choosing on A5 paper – $200
• 15-minute Sketch: A detailed sketch with copic markers and shading, where fans will choose the subject. It will be created on a Shikishi board, or you can bring your own cover – $500

Non-Zoomorphic sketch requests can be discussed at the booth.

Be sure to stop by Booth #4807 all week long for exclusive merchandise from Arita, Julie Sakai, and Stan Sakai. They will be offering a SDCC-exclusive trading card set based on Usagi Yojimbo (which would be the perfect item to get signed!), exclusive variant covers, and more.
