Autographed Sifu Shi Yan Ming 10th Anniversary Celebration Event Poster

This is a rectangular promotional event poster featuring a bold, monochromatic close-up portrait of Shiyan Ming, the 34th Generation Shaolin Warrior Monk. The image is rendered in high-contrast black and white with a subtle yellowish or sepia tint, emphasizing intense facial details and shadows. The lower section consists of a black text block with tan/gold lettering that reads 'SIFU SHI YAN MING 10th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION', noting a date of June 16, 2002, and venue at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. Notable guests listed include Bokeem Woodbine and The RZA. The item is uniquely personalized and autographed; it features a yellow/gold ink signature and inscription at the top left ('To Todd...') and a larger, fluid silver-toned marker signature across the mid-section and bottom, inscribed with 'Buddha Bless You'. The bottom right corner shows Chinese calligraphy and the year '2002'. The poster appears to be printed on standard glossy paper stock. While generally well-preserved, there are minor visible signs of edge wear and surface handling consistent with its age. This piece is a significant piece of martial arts and hip-hop cultural ephemera, marking the decade milestone of the USA Shaolin Temple.
