1. The guy :
Will use a typical french structure of introduction.
- General : 30 years old, couple with a German girl, living in Paris for 5 years (damn I originally came here only for 2
).- Family : First baby on the way for July (estimated mid-july to be confirmed).
- Job : Automotive industry (the actual place to be LOL) for over 10 years.
- Bonus : A cutie King Charles Spaniel, ruby color, stuck to 20cm long (don't ask me why, it's a cavalier as big as a squirrel).
2. Why am I here :
Took the risk to go back to school that I quitted a decade before, this time to get a business school Master degree and, I hope, a better future.
Thesis theme is an Anime Cel store and by extension anime cel business, I try to mix my industrial mind and vision with a more business aspect.
Lessons are now over after a whole year, time to write the documentation, target Sep/Oct 2009 for the jury presentation.
3. Collection :
Can we call this a collection, I once heard that a clock collector is a guy with 2 clocks...
Not yet idea of the exact quantity/quality to be estimated by his fathers as being a collector.
Always known that anime cel were existing but supposed till the year 2007 that they were locked in some Studio Alcatraz.
Discovered those art pieces through the Anime-Fantasy shop seller that offered me a special discount as I was arranging an online contest for a fan videogame.
This shop is part of the thesis in order to better understand the anime cel business mechanic and to experiment communication and marketing.
What I like to do is to give anime cel as gift, because in my mind it's even more important than a thousand time duplicated DVD.
This is artistic and really nice once framed. Additionnaly I have always a funny warm feedback about, like transmitting some knowledge to heirs.
