Collecting notes: art books over cels (for now)

2026-10-24

I keep almost buying production cels and then remembering I have nowhere archival to keep them. Art books and model-sheet collections are the practical shelf: same reference value, no conservation guilt.

Current shelf highlights: two indie-animation art books and a classic cartoon design retrospective. They sit next to the game-dev references, which is exactly where the cross-pollination happens.
