1. What was the best thing that's happened to your gallery/collection in 2016? I managed to get so many wonderful items this year, but my "Banjo: The Woodpile Cat" cel is probably the best: http://www.cartoonedin.com/don-bluth-banjo-the-woodpile-cat It is the final frame in the short film...

If you do end up scanning things in pieces, this: http://matthewalunbrown.com/autostitch/autostitch.html is an amazing application (just download the "free/demo version", it does everything you need).This image was scanned in 6 parts before I ran it through the autostitch application: sket...

I've updated the original post for the first birthday of the Animation Art Collectors Slack Chat! Happy birthday to us!

I have seen a couple of items either in galleries or that have sold in the past from Mighty Max. I have never seen anything from David the Gnome. Every once in a while, someone will mislabel a cel from 'Gnomes' (a TV movie based on the same book as David the Gnome)... but that's really it. If anyone...

5 Days Left and we still have categories that are in danger of being cut!!! @_@ Where are all the regulars!!! We are thinking about opening the contest so you can enter 1 piece per category if you wish to save the remaining 12 Categories that do not have enough entries!! Any thoughts on this? I'm a...

Can't wait! Would it be possible to add a 'model cel' category? There are things like color models that don't really fit in the Hanken category... but that's the only category where model cels seem to be permitted.

What a fantastic update! There are some very impressive pieces. You mentioned one of them having the the background glued to the backing board when framed. I am in the exact same situation now with a pan cel setup I purchased. I'm wondering what you did to get it into a more "preservable" ...

Just received a new cel setup in the mail and one of the cel layers has a small amount of "bubbling" between the paint and the cel itself. So far there is only a tiny amount of paint loss, but I wanted to see if there's any way to stop any more from happening. My first thought would be som...

I would also participate. I have a cel or two I could donate to the cause if no one else does.

I'm a big Don Bluth fan. While there are some of his films that I focus on more than others, I've been trying to get at least a few things from each. Banjo The Woodpile Cat (a less than 30 minute long short and the first thing Bluth's company produced) is not one I have focused on... but I knew that...

I believe I heard it was back up for sale, but I don't have a link to it.

This:

There's a new ebay seller, animator818 (selling Muppet Babies cels at the moment), who is listing things in a dishonest way. Most of their listings say that they come with matching production backgrounds, but I make a habit of checking the scene (if possible) before purchasing cel setups with matchi...

Very cool. You have quite an array of art. I'm less familiar with a lot of anime than most people here, so I enjoyed seeing all the different styles.
