______________________________________________

Welcome to my collection of animation art! As you'll see, I take a "museum" approach, annotating the items I collect, putting them in context whenever possible, and providing background information on the series and the creators.

This site is an opportunity to learn more about the artistic process behind animation. So in addition to beautiful cels, you'll see some of the production materials--sketches, backgrounds, settei, storyboards, "test" cels--that let us look behind the scenes at how animation studios produced these series.

If you're not sure where to start, begin with the "Quick Gallery Tour." There I've given a picture of the whole collection on one page, and then reviewed each series I collect, one page per series, with a lot of links to the individual galleries as you go.

Another good place to start is the "Quirky Gallery Tour", which calls out items in my collection for special attention according to a frequently changing theme. The tour now features a selection of art from Nakamura's ambitious feature film A Tree of Palme, one of the last major anime projects done with traditional cel-based animation.

And if you're a real lover of animation art, then go to "Private Area" and type in the super-secret password "seemorestuff" to gain access to lots of extras that I've hidden to keep the gallery easy to explore.
______________________________________________

The current banner, in honor of the new quirky tour, is based on a cel from Takashi Nakamura's impressive anime film A Tree of Palme showing Koram coming to her senses at the end of the movie's dark journey. The background is a detail from a Cardcaptor Sakura production background showing Clow Reed's garden in winter. ______________________________________________
