Junko Mizuno 2002 autograph!!!

WOW! I can't believe this! It turned out to be on a high grade cardstock with gold edging and stunning gold flecked art paper on it's back. This was from SuperFestival 24 in Japan 2002 where Mizuno was IN PERSON for this famous Model & Toy show. Her autograph is HUGE!!! I simply must get this framed. It also came with 3 mint promotional post cards for her upcoming art book of *Fairies* that was up for release in 2003.



















I also went ahead and found this book "FAIRIE ENCYCLOPEDIA" and purchased it... the artwork of the Fairies is STUNNING!!! Each night this man is visited by all these different types of fairies... until finally one night he becomes one himself. It's all in Japanese text, but you get the idea of what's going on from the images in the book. STUNNING ARTWORK!!! Another cool thing is that the Fairie book came with a promotional post card of her 3 Miznotic figures SHIORI, CHIKA, and FUMI! NEAT!!!

Beast Tamer Succubus Ltd. edition print




































Ok... so I couldn't shell out the 4 grand for the real painting! But I was so excited that she opted to produce 50 limited edition prints. They are signed and numbered. Mine is #10... :::does happy dance:::

I just got it back from having it professionally framed. So neat!

It's in my spare bedroom above the day bed. Glad I got the glare free glass and various upgrades. It's definately deserving!
