Shimpei Itoh Artwork
One of the benefits of working with Studio Ironcat was to get a custom drawing done by Shimpei Itoh, creator of Hyperdolls & Moldiver. I requested something with the characters wearing shirts that said "Anime Shrine" on them. The image was also modified to say "IRON CAT" and published in volume 3 of the HyperDolls graphic novel series.
Haruhiko Mikimoto Artwork
I got this in exchange for working the Studio Ironcat table at Katsucon 5, notice the date on the drawing. I also got a Lynn Minmay wall scroll signed by him while there.
Robert DeJesus Artwork
Mr. DeJesus drew this for me at AnimeIowa98, he wouldn't draw on the con shirt for me because he didn't want to mess it up (How could he?). I think he just wanted to sell his portfolio, I was going to buy one anyways.
Steve Bennett Artwork
On the Thursday before AnimeIowa98 Steve and I drove to the not-so-nearby Hooters to pick up a few wings and wait for a friend of ours. While waiting we were drawing on paper towels, this is one he drew for me.

I'm not sure who signed it, can't read many of the signatures, but I thought it was cool to get one.
