1) What country do you live in?
--> Belgium, country of the french fries! ^_^
2) What do you predominantly collect, Western (
Disney, WB, Bluth, Film Roman, etc. ) or Eastern
( Anime ) animation art?
--> Definitively and only Japanese animation.
3) What makes up the majority of your
collection? Production Cels, Sketches, Gengas,
Storyboards, etc?
--> I love gengas/dougas, but I'm more into the
cel itself
4) What shows/movies/characters do you
predominantly collect?
--> Hmmm... Some may say it is all yaoi! lol
Let's say my favourite shows are Zetsuai
(Kouji), Ai no Kusabi (Iason), all the animes
coming from Kouga Yun (Kagetsuya from Earhian,
all from Genji) and all from Takemiya Keiko
(Natsu e no Tobira, Kaze to ki no uta,etc.). And
many other shows of course, as long as there are
some bishounens!!! ^_^
5) When selecting your pieces, what do you
generally look for? ( close-ups, action poses,
character interactions, etc. )
--> On hte shows I love the most there is only
one rule: to be seduced by the cel, no matter
the type of pose. But I noticed a tendance to
buy some profile cels and close-ups...
6) Where do you get the majority of your
animation art? ( Online Anime shops, Online
Anime dealers, local comic stores, local anime
shops, local animation art galleries ).
--> Most of my cels come from internet (Online
shops and auctions) but some of my best shots
come from a French animation shop. No logic! lol
7) On the average, about how much do you spend
on animation art a month?
--> TOO MUCH!!! ^_^ Let's say 400$ is the
average but it can vary a lot from one month to
the other...
8) How long have you been collecting?
--> It's already 2 or 3 years now.
9) What is the most you have ever paid for one
piece? What show/character was it?
--> We are not rich in Belgium, so I consider
that spending $300 on a Kouji cel (Zetsuai) and
$350 on an Ai no Kusabi cel was really madness.
Unfortunately for my finances I just couldn't
resist! ^_~
9) Why do you collect animation art? What
draws you to it?
--> It gives me the impression to own a piece of
the anime and gets it more real for me. But
that's a bit philosophy! lol I remember I bought
my first cel just because it was cheap and I
liked the pic...! No logic at all!!! |
