Bariaburu Faita Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) Starting this weekend at Art Jenus in Nihonbashi they are displaying(and selling! $200-$500, ouch!) original artwork and prints my Mikimoto! They were selling calenders and were giving away free posters. But unfortunatly someone who got there before me took ALL of the posters(I guess he didnt see the "one per patron" sign) AND bought the last couple calenders. He was a tall heavyset guy with glasses and a beard. Looked kinda like the "banned gaijin" warning at the K-books checkout counter, but that was a fuzzy security camera pic so I might be mistaken. Had also had a very distinctive bannana-yellow bag. I also saw him taking pictures, but of course the "photographs are prohibited" signs were probably too far below his eye level to see.

Anubis Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) No one pounced on him and killed him for trying to take ALL the posters? We all know by now how effective the "No Photo" signs are. Never. Edited November 30, 2004 by Anubis Quote
Skull Leader Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 hmmm, so what must we do to aquire one of these posters from the infamous "banned gaijin"? Quote

That's nothing special. Mikimoto has several exhibits and signings each year, some with Broccoli and Art Jeuness. Also the prints are on the cheap side, some of his stuff usually sells for closer to $900. The US branch of Art Vivant had a brochure from a few years ago with $1000-1200 price ranges. The DYRL Minmay is his latest print I believe. I think the figure's nice but it's sort of bland otherwise. The 2005 calendar is sold out now. Edited December 6, 2004 by halfan Quote

And who is this person? And how much are you err this person wants for the posters? Edited November 30, 2004 by Godzilla Quote
robokochan Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Wow! I didnt expect to get so many PMs Due to the numerous requests and my inability to come up with a price I will auction them off on evil bay. Basically I have 2 posters and 2 calanders...other people here would have you believe that I ransacked the store and stole everything they had....while tempting it is just not true.. So basically keep watching my auctions. Rob Quote
robokochan Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Just so everyone knows....they have been listed as a set. Here is the link - Calender Quote

I'm not certain if the reservation window has expired or not. It's been up a couple of months now. I saw a Mikimoto art exhibition in Ikebukuro back in early 2002 when I was an exchange student there. Original art for sale etc. I bought a nice postcard set for around a few hundred yen. Quote

Yeah, I was there too! I got his autograph that time. All thanks to a really cool assistant who shiftily handed me a ticket (you can't line up for an autograph without a ticket at these things).
