Re: Seeing that Rubberslug not secure on Chrome, Edge, Firefox

Jason Nolasco is the webmaster and owner of Rubberslug, and he is active on Facebook. Visit the Rubberslug/Anime Beta group for more info: but he has been easy to raise and very helpful in dealing with problems like this in the past. He now manages a major computer business, however, so don't expect...

Re: Your most cherished gallery item?

I was a big fan of this anime during roughly grade 3 in primary school. I remember that I became really excited around 7am in the evening, I open the TV and switch to the Children's Channel and wait for the two princess and their fantastic journey. This really is a heartwarming story that I can rel...

Re: Your most cherished gallery item?

if there was one that I feel best represents my collection, it’s the Ikuko Itoh sketch of Mercury’s Aqua Rhapsody - http://cutiebunny.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=424961. I did not know, at the time, that I would meet the artist who drew them the following year at a convention. That t...

Oh, yeah. We both have a thing for this particular scene, which is so dramatic, so in character, and so funny in many ways. And that baseball hat!

Re: Your most cherished gallery item?

I never thought I’d ever have an emotional attachment to a piece of paper, but I can’t help it when it came to this man. We had a special connection when we met and I’m so glad to have known him before he became famous. That is amazing: and the sketch Shingo Tamagawa did of you is very delicate and...

Re: Your most cherished gallery item?

I still to this day think this is one image that captures Akane's beauty perfectly and after years of admiring it in a friends collection I was very pleased that I was able purchase it from them when it was offered to me. It really is a lovely image, and I can think of several cels that I've gotten...

Your most cherished gallery item?

Seeing the thread about the item that cost you the most money made me think of a related matter: price disregarded, what is the item (cel, sketch, background, shikishi, whatever) that you cherish more than any other? It might be one of the first items you collected, or one associated with a favorite...

Re: 2022 Year in Review & 2023 Cel/Sketch Resolutions

1. What was the best thing that's happened to your gallery/collection in 2022? Continuing to review and correct my complete inventory. It's now 126 pages single-spaced, and I think it's just about time to take it to the local office center and have it printed off as a booklet. Related experience: c...

2022 Year in Review & 2023 Cel/Sketch Resolutions

It's time for the YiR/Resolution thread! I began this post back in 2006, and with the help of Cutiebunny it's become a Rubberslug tradition for more than a decade. Now it returns for its 17th year. With the old year thankfully wrapping up, it's time to look back on the year's events and make some pl...

Re: Hello everyone, does anyone know the founder of this gallery?

The founder, David Pierpont or "Sith-Krillin," died in a fatal automobile accident on Sunday, April 6, 2003. I did not have the privilege of knowing him, as I registered here in 2004, but a number of his friends posted tributes and remembrances to him in this Beta gallery . I did an academ...

Re: Gallery update 2022

Sorry to be late in appreciating your update, JWR: My collecting time lately has involved doing a gallery "crawl" (a term I get from vintage organ lovers, who really do have to "crawl" through these huge instruments, looking for the many little problems that crop up over time). I...

Re: Twentieth Anniversary

Thanks for your compliments, CB. I really designed the gallery to be a place where people could really think about animation and about the distinctive form of storytelling that it generates. I had the immediate sense that manga/anime was a fully matured art form when I contacted it, and that people ...

Re: Twentieth Anniversary

Thank you, Tegga. I've always said that a collector ought to love what you have more than what you don't have. The alternative can lead to the kind of continuous running after "wishlist" or "give-kidney-for" items, that burns one out before long. But if you have even a few cels o...

Re: Twentieth Anniversary

Thanks, Tara. I'm with you on the growing need to curate a collection as it grows, and so like you I've put in a lot of time stabilizing the plastic part of my holdings and put the paper part in "cold storage" where it will not need to be tended so cautiously. Microchamber paper has been a...

Twentieth Anniversary

While it is very quiet over here, I wanted to put up a little commemoration of my gallery's 20th anniversary. I'd been quietly picking up cels (all from Cardcaptor Sakura, my first anime love) since July of 2000, and pulling them down from the closet to admire, first just in a mailing envelope, then...
