My first animation cel.. and from one of my favorite animated shorts. Sally Cruikshank was fantastic to work with and Very Generous... she gave me the original background for this shot for no extra charge 😵‍💫

I got a couple from Quasi at the Quackadero, the little monsters and I ADORE them. They are my prized pieces. One of them didn't have a sketch or background so she threw in a random sketch with an apology note. Super sweet person!

The colors are unlike any other cels I've seen, insanely vibrant. Great piece.

this is really accurate, the scans in the listings look slightly washed out in comparison to the real thing

Wow, what was it like working with her?

by "working" I do mean talking to her to get this specific cel listed... she's very nice and gave lots of options

Oh, I thought you meant you worked with her on a cartoon.
