Serigraphic
Cel or Seri Cel
The line work for these cels is Xeroxed and the paintwork
is printed on the reverse side of the cel. They are
created in limited and unlimited editions with as many
as 9,500 per edition. The edition sizes are not numbered
on the cels, although all are identified on the front
of the cel as a serigraphic cel with a studio seal.
Limited Edition Cel
A cel produced in a fixed quantity specifically for
sale to collectors. There are signed and unsigned limited
editions. Some are signed by living artists and some
art is signed by auto pen if the artist is deceased.
All are numbered and edition sizes can range from 20
to 1000 usually.
Limited Edition Artists Proof
Prints intended for the artist's personal use. It is
a common practice to reserve approximately ten percent
of an edition as artist's proofs, although this figure
can be higher. The artist's proof is sometimes referred
to by its French name, Epreuve D'Artist. Artist proofs
can be distinguished by the abbreviation AP or EA commonly
on the lower left corner of the work.
Limited Edition Hors D'Commerce Proof
Identical to the limited edition print but intended
only to show to dealers. Hors D'Commerce, (H.C.), may
or may not be signed by the artist.
Remarque
Small sketch in the margin of an art print or additional
hand-applied enhancements by the artist on some or all
of the final prints within an edition.
Original Production Cel
A painting on celluloid (cel) by a Studio artist of
an animated character or object, based on the animator's
original pencil drawing. Cels are placed upon background
paintings and photographed during the production of
the final version of a film. Most cels created prior
to 1960 were hand-inked as well as hand-painted. After
1960 the outline was usually transferred to the cel
by a Xerographic process.
Production Background
An original painting created by a Studio artist and
actually photographed in the production of the final
version of the film. During the process of animation,
several production cels would be photographed on a single
production background, thus the rarity of finding a
production cel and matching production background or
KEY MASTER SETUP.
Hand-Painted Background
An original painting created by an artist to compliment
a cel but never used in the production of a film.
Courvoisier Background
Courvoisier Galleries of San Francisco was Disney's
agent for the marketing of the Studio's animation art
from 1937-1946 and produced backgrounds (often using
an airbrush), wood veneer, or paper to complement cels
for presentation.
Studio Background
A background painting created by a Studio artist for
publicity or display purposes.
Publicity Cel
A cel painting created by a Studio artist for publicity
or display purposes.
Animation Production Drawing
A drawing on paper in lead or colored pencil created
by a Studio artist from which the cel paintings that
are actually photographed in the production of the film
are traced.
Color Model Cel or Drawing
A cel or drawing created by a Studio artist for color
reference purposes.
Storyboard or Inspirational Sketch
A drawing on paper, often in color, by a Studio artist
to illustrate a character, mood, scene, costume, plot,
sequence of action, gag or other conceptual aspects
of an animated film during the developmental stage.
A story drawing is one of a series that serves to visualize
action or camera movement. Inspiration sketches provide
the visual manifestation of ideas and emotions that
give birth to story elements.
Key Layout Drawings
These drawings are usually created by the director,
and will emphasize the character personalities and action
throughout the cartoon. Character consistency is important
here.
Background Layouts
Are done at the same time as the character layouts.
These sketches are made so that the action of the characters
will coordinate with the background.
Model Drawings
These drawings are created for the animators to use
in order to maintain a visual consistency of the characters.
Story Paintings
Tiny paintings usually about two inches by two inches
created by a Studio background artist. They were used
to provide a visual idea for a proposed production background.
In-between-ers
Artists that complete the animation drawings between
key drawings created by head animators.
Clean Up
Artists will take the round drawings from the animators
and establish one, smooth, dark line drawing.
Pencil Test
Once the drawings or portions of the drawing are complete,
each drawing is filmed and then reviewed and edited.
Editing is usually done before the costly inking and
painting begins.
Ink and Paint
Once the drawings are edited, they go to the ink and
paint department where a sheet of acetate is placed
over the drawing by means of the registration tabs.
Each cel is then either hand-inked or the line is Xeroxed
on to the acetate with a special machine. Once the line
is complete, the painters flip the cel over and paint
them on the reverse side. Each painter works from a
color key and applies the dark colors first. The paint
is applied by means of "pooling" the paint
in the middle of each area to be painted, then spreading
it out to the edges of the area.

James Coleman
|
|
|
|
Walt Disney Productions welcomed his creative energies. His first film, "Winnie, the Pooh and Tigger, too", sparked his interest not only in painting backgrounds but also in background design and color styling.
After completing, "The Rescuers", his first feature film, he was promoted to Background Department Supervisor, a position he held for nearly seventeen years. While at Disney, James styled and worked on twelve films and over thirty short subjects which included "Mickey's Christmas Carol", "The Fox and the Hound", "The Great Mouse Detective", "The Black Cauldron", "The Little Mermaid", and Academy Award-winning, "Beauty and the Beast". All of which came to life with James Coleman's background images gracing the silver screen.

Dick Duerrstein

Duerrstein’s work can be found in the Walt Disney Studio corporate offices, Burbank, California; The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. and St. Jude’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee and private collections worldwide. Currently his work is seen in “The Art of Mickey Mouse” exhibition traveling through Japan.
Inspired not only by the animation artists he has worked so closely with but also with such diverse draftsman as Leonardo da Vinci and Von Dutch, Duerrstein has recently found inspiration from the animation drawings of Chuck Jones. “I believe I bring the spontaneity of his [Chuck Jones] original drawing to the forefront of my paintings, where the viewer can see the action up close. The backgrounds reflect the age and use of the original drawings, grounding them in history.”

My art is inspired by the works of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Boldness and simplicity are the keys to the success of my portraits. The Vibrant color of the background accents the shapes and shadows and enhances the three-dimensional appearance."

John Alvin
|
|
|
|
Alvin has produced many special works for Lucasfilm Ltd.'s Star Wars phenomenon. His Star Wars Concert and Star Wars Tenth Anniversary poster are among the most collectible Star Wars art in the market today. Additionally, The Smithsonian Museum, Washington D.C., exhibited Alvin's The Phantom of the Paradise as one of the best posters of the 20th Century.
The ability to infuse art with feeling was one reason Disney wanted Alvin for The Lion King and the "adult campaigns" for many Disney animated classics. The adult campaign will usually be more elegant, more symbolic, and in Alvin's masterful hands, imbued with a moody, almost magical aura. "His work inspires us," say the Disney marketing execs. "Alvin brings emotion into his artwork that can only be captured in an illustration. We call it 'Alvinizing'."

"My artwork is meant to recall the beauty, majesty and mystery of the life we live, and the world we live it in. Painting the small delicacy of the light on a child¹s face, or the overwhelming power and grace of the sky at sunrise, is my attempt to capture some of that wonder. Through my work I hope to remind you and myself how truly wonderful, complex, and vivid life is. Whether we are looking into the eyes of someone we love, or struggling just to breath, life is a priceless gift."
