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 underappreciated items in my collection according to a frequently changing theme. The current theme focuses on items in open galleries that are eyeworthy, but for some reason not visited as often as their cel-mates. Toss them a frickin' bone!
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 Thanksgiving banner is based on a rough genga of Son Goku from Saiyuki, who's about to dig gratefully into a sumptuous banquet.
The background is a detail from a digital photo of Momiji, the Japanese maple in our front yard in Cephiro, as it gracefully turns color for the season.
