Hi guys and girls!
I’m glad to announce that the sensei Mitsuhiro Arita, The poliedric artist creator of Hundreds of Illustrations for the TCG Pokémon (i.e. the glorious Base set Charizard), Final Fantasy, Berserk, Monster Hunter and Guardians of Ga’Hoole, will be our Special Guest at Milan Cartoomics, from the 3rd to the 5th of March 2017.
During the event you’ll be able to get photos, signatures, sketches and more.
This is the link where you can see the cards illustrated by the Master himself.
I guess he’s afraid he has to sign TOO much cards, which I can honestly understand… He would like to explore your event and talk to people himself, without having to non-stop sign cards 24-7 I can imagine.
(I’m glad I send mine over when they were still 5 though. )
Since it will still take quite a while before I got them back, I’ll just tell it in advance. These are the 8 cards I’ve send in:
English XY Evolutions Theme Deck Pikachu
English XY Evolutions Pikachu
Japanese CP6 1st edition Pikachu
German XY Evolutions Pikachu
French XY Evolutions Pikachu
Italian XY Evolutions Pikachu
Spanish XY Evolutions Pikachu
Korean CP6 Pikachu
Pretty cool that I will soon have a complete XY Evolutions Pikachu set in 7 different languages, all autographed by Mitsuhiro Arita.
I can appreciate that he is afraid of resellers, and 15 is still not a bad price at all. Hell, it is nothing compared to what some baseball players get to have a ball signed…
