Sense we had to remove the cel from it's frame we decided to take the opportunity and have the piece reframed. So we used a brand New Custom Matt and Frame. Black in color so it will match everything. We replaced the plexiglas with UV protected plexiglass. Brand New Acid-Free matting. So your presentation will come out of the box, ready to hang on the wall. A Sericel is a serigraphy process that involves silk-screening each individual color to the cel, one at a time. Every distinct shade is a separate screen, and a separate pass in the procedure. As a result of this fine art operation, each color is flawlessly reproduced. Sericels are also created in limited quantities, typically 2500 to 5000 pieces and sometimes even 9500. Because of their larger edition size, sericels are the most affordable type of animation art, ideal for the beginning collector. James Baxter (born May 1967) is a British character animator.

This piece has been, hand signed by James Baxter, on the cel, at a recent Animation event in Burbank. I have never seen his signature on ANY Beauty and the Beast cel. So if you want to "Be Our Guest" then this is a great piece for that Disney fan or animation art collector in the family. Nik used a New Black, fine point Sharpie Pen, so you kow the graph will last. As you can see fromt he close-ups, it looks great! |
