  • A very sad note ::

** VIA Todd at U.Y.D. :

UY Dojo Members,

It wasn’t but a few days ago that we sent you all a message regarding Sharon Sakai and her health problems. Now tragedy has struck the Sakai family once again. Stan’s 20-month old grandson, Leo, passed away yesterday { Dec.29 2013 ~ t } afternoon after being found unconscious and not breathing. This is an unimaginable tragedy for anyone, and for people who have been so kind and giving and good as Stan and Sharon to undergo it is a harsh reminder of the random cruelty of life.

Stan’s Facebook post: “Grandson Leo was tested yesterday and it was confirmed today that he is brain dead. He is exactly 20 months old. He lived such a short life, but I’m so glad he shared it with me. It was a good day for him yesterday, and he died without pain and peacefully. Thank you, Buddy. Grandpa loves you. So much.”

As mentioned before, there was already a benefit underway to help with Sharon’s medical bills; while nothing can make things better, during times of stress, some extra cash to help with the unexpected can be of use. More details on various ways to help are here: http://garageartstudio.blogspot.com/2013/11/help-stan-sakai.html?m=1

Please keep Stan, Sharon, daughter Hannah and son Matthew in your thoughts as the Sakai’s grieve through this tremendously difficult time in their lives.

Sincerely,
**Todd Shogun.

For over 16 years I have been good friends with my buddy Todd Bustillo, He also runs the “Usagi Yojimbo Dojo”.. It is with deep grievances that I share with you today that we have lost a large part of the Usagi Yojimbo & TMNT family. Stan Sakai Creator and Artist of Usagi Yojimbo has lost his grandson, “Leo” named after Leonardo from TMNT. Those close to the Sakai’s also know that he is also going thru alot with his wife having cancer. The Sakai’s have meant so much to this community and Todd and Stan have meant so much to me that i am having a Fundraiser for the Sakai Family. To raise money to help with hospital bills and any other burden that money can heal.. though the loss of a grandson is incredibly painful I am trying to do what I know best and raise a bit of money that will be sent straight to the Sakai Family. When you buy from this “Our Heart’s Desire” Party.. 30% will be donated to the Sakai’s. If the money raised is high enough I would like to donate 40% so I am reaching out to our TMNT family to ask for your support. Order a locket or bracelet for yourself and the proceeds will go to this dear friend of ours who has provided us with years and years of amazing artwork that we have learned to love.
1. To order please go to ** http://www.ourheartsdesire.com/parties/2113
2. Register as a new customer
3. Order.

30% of the proceeds will be given to Stan Sakai’s family in honor of his late grandson Leonardo.

** Via Garage Art Studios

For nearly 30 years, Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo has set a high-water mark for creator-owned comics.
Stan’s wife, Sharon, has battled a debilitating illness for some time; after an extended hospital stay and convalescence, she is now back home, but her condition requires 24-hour care and medicines that cost more than their insurance covers.

**If you’d like to help now– You can contribute money to help Stan and Sharon here.

CAPS, the Cartoon Art Professional Society, has decided to provide whatever assistance we can, starting with an ongoing auction of original art. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Stan & Sharon to help pay their ongoing medical expenses.

Creators and publishers, We are asking for your help; please contribute original artwork to this worthy cause.
Print off this form…
and Send us your original art donation or product so that we can include it in our auction. Many, many THANKS!!

Bloggers, tumblers and tweeters, please spread the word. Feel free to re-post this wherever you think is appropriate.

From everyone at GGM nothing can be said to make any of this “OK”  but the traditional can be stated ::  our hearts, prayers, positive energy, condolences, and hopes for the return of good health and recovery for Ms.Sakai and Stan’s entire fold. Encouraging our readers to express the same any way you can thru’ financial support if you can, love, and action. We love you very much, Sakai Family and are thankful for all you’ve done for us and the extended TMNT / Usagi family, fandom and community.

PORTRAIT OF SUPER-SWIMMIN’ RAPH
The Paddlin’ Party Player!

VITAL FLOATISTICS:

Accessories: Anti-Foot Flipper Fins, Kowabunga Kickboard, Sewer Snorkel & Turtle Games Gold Medal!
Total Career Laps: 30 Turtle Trillion
Dive: The Splinter Splash
Total Water Displacement: One Turtle Ton
Style: The Turtle Tread
Fastest Lap: .000001 seconds (there was a shark in the pool!)

This all-American amphibian can swim sewer circles around the foul floatin’ Foot. With his Kowabunga Kickboard under his arm and nature’s own wetsuit on his back, Super-swimmin’ Raph’s a popular pick for floodin’ out the Foot and the competition. He’s got the Foot divin’ for cover – underwater, that is. But, look out! No water-logged Foot Soldier stands a chance against Raph’s Anti-Foot Flipper Fins. This Foot flippin’, lap leadin’ hero may be wet behind the ears, but he’s never at a loss for air with his Sewer Snorkel. On land or sea, Super-swimmin’ Raph’s got what it takes to go for the Gold. Let the games begin!
