Beggars cant be choosers, lain for me is hard to
come by. My collection is has been a daily ritual
for the search of such items.
Hopefully its in good condition, for the cels I
like full face and portraits as well as key
action shots the are expressive of certain
scenes. As for the non cel items it should be in
as best condition as possible.

10) Why do you collect animation art? What
draws you to it?
Lain has won me over since the first time I saw
it, it touched my heart on so many levels. Partly
since it deals with the computer world and that
is my choosen profession, partly of its
existential story line, and the way it brought to
life an old myth for our mondern times. Lain for
me is more than an anime but an ideal that I
choose to keep alive.
good luck ^_^x
