Re: Annual Cel Contest 2015!! - NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES!!

Question... does anyone know who still has editing access to those sites? I had tried to find out a bit ago, but no one seemed to know. Scans of pieces I entered in the past are still up on those sites and I'd really rather the scans be removed from online. I'm not insanely bent out of shape about i...

Re: "I knew EXACTLY what it was!"

HA! Well at least now I know where this went to! http://blueblade.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=110352 A very long time ago, maybe in 2001 or before, this cel was on Mandarake's site for sale. N'Dul is my favorite villain from the Jo Jo's OVA, so I jumped to buy it. When the package arr...

Re: To watermark or not to watermark, that is the question..

In the end obviously it doesn't matter what people do with their cels. I'd certainly rather your method than to see cels disappear offline forever, never to be seen again. It's just always interesting to me to see the different ways people feel about their cels. I wanna show mine off to everyone. Y...

Re: Bringing Cel Collecting into the 21st Century and etc.

I've been following this conversation with interest and I got the feeling that this new site was intended to act like a central signpost of sorts, directing people to different cel collector's interests. Maybe I'm wrong? I will be very interested to watch it develop. I wish I could help in some way,...

Re: To watermark or not to watermark, that is the question..

When I had a gallery, I watermarked my scans. However, the things people have been saying here are ALL things with which I have to agree. I don't think watermarking has ever been really useful because any watermark which still lets you see the image enough to enjoy it is inevitably something someone...

Re: A question about settei, more detailed description neede

Those are really interesting! I would have thought something like that would be called a "model cel"/"color model cel" but I've never seen one with other notations on them like that. It's not something I know a lot about. I'll be also interested to hear what others have to say ab...

Unknown cel books a danger?

As I've been removing tape from all my pieces, I've been doing a complete reorganization of my collection and I've found two cel books of unknown heritage. One looks very similar to an Itoya (what all my others are) except it's page inserts are light grey instead of black. The other is definitely no...

Re: new online shops

Supposedly he's still working on it. I buy from him via e-mail, though I do look forward to seeing what he brings to Anime Boston. (I go to Anime Boston every year. ^_^)

Re: new online shops

I would love to know if there are new ones I have missed as well.... Seems almost all have closed.

However, I mention since you didn't list him, that Curt with Asylum Anime is still very active. :) Midori as well. :)

Re: Adventures in Restoring Faded Lines

Really nice job there!! Some years ago I did this with one cel, but never pursued it after that since I just didn't have a steady enough hand to pull it off so well.

Re: Assassination Classroom

What a bizarre sounding plot. I've never heard of this one until you posted these. Those smilie face sketches make me feel I have a new thing to find and watch. :)

Re: How do you like to keep track of your purchases?

I'm kind of what Animechaos said.... :D I did used to keep track, but the records started to become long and complicated and without a lot of meaning. Complicated because it became hard to sort out individual prices for pieces bought in lots. Without meaning because the real point of knowing what yo...

Re: Seriously? Linkedin, facebook, & other annoying invites

One thing to remember about that stupid Linkedin is that it will invite ANYONE AT ALL with which you've had pretty much any contact. Also, it does it on it's own, without telling you it's doing it. I've gotten Linkedin invites from people who didn't even have an account with Linkedin anymore.... So ...
