Featured Cel:



Cardcaptor Sakura: The Snow Card

Featured Sketch:



Tonde Buurin: Ep. 19, Cut 201 - Masako on a ski trip. (This sketch, part of an enormous genga pile split by Vapalla and myself, is currently hidden to keep this part of the gallery browsable.)

______________________________________________

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 current theme is my annual "Year in Review," looking at the most significant additions to my collection in 2009.

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 is based on a snapshot of Momiji, the little Japanese maple in our front yard, a little overwhelmed by two huge snowstorms in a week's time. The background is a detail from the layout for a grim winter sky from Ep. 68 of Cardcaptor Sakura (it's in the second thumb). I've digitally shifted the tint of the graphite pencil sketch to blue, to accent the chilly feel.

1/23/201060K Hits! Thanks, everyone for visiting.
 
1/16/2010Sensei’s Upgrade 2010.01 has added some lovely new items: From Ah My Goddess! a wonderful rough animator’s sketch of Holy Bell and Belldandy. From Hyper Police, “Peau” having a nice dinner with the werewolf Tommy-kun (now with all the layers and the matching background), and also an elegant cel of The fox-spirit Sakura in a happy mood. From MKR, a new cel of Hikaru meeting Umi and Fuu. And from TnN, a new cel of Yuusuke meeting Noelle in Ep. 1, now likewise with the original matching background. Also, as part of routine maintenance, I’m replacing old, icky scans of gengas with much improved ones.
 
1/5/2010Sensei's won two prizes in the Anime-Beta cel awards contest: Third Prize, “Cute” and First Prize, “Shocked.” Have a look and learn more about the series from which they come!
