5)  When selecting your pieces, what do you 
generally look for?  ( close-ups, action poses, 
character interactions, etc. )

I look for a lot of different things:

1.  Like Ms. Poe, emotion
2.  With Rayearth, I'm looking for one of each 
character in their different armors, outfits, 
mechs, etc.
3.  A good bargain:)
4.  Lately I am leaning towards close-ups, but I 
also love full body shots so I can see all of the 
outfit.
5.  Most of all, a cel that has "it."  The one 
that's love at first sight.

That depends on how much extra cash I have that

Rayearth merchandise collection.

Four years

piece?  What show/character was it?

$850 for one of my Gunnm cels of Gally

9)  Why do you collect animation art?  What draws 
you to it?

I like it because it's beautiful, unique, and I 
love being able to own favorite moments of 
shows.  I'm also starting to collect cels from my 
favorite childhood television shows because of 
the good memories.  

Have fun and good luck with your speech!
