Also before you squeeze in your colors in the container, wet a bounty paper towel, and put it in the bottom of the container, then put your colors on top of the moist paper towel.Tiger vs lion the factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557674812293902526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-58501763269851845872011-09-30T20:46:53.404-04:002011-09-30T20:46:53.404-04:00Fascinating stories James.Fascinating stories James.Stephen James.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04729750229032513596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-48404349066913166252011-09-30T08:43:50.635-04:002011-09-30T08:43:50.635-04:00Thanks for that video link, David - really fun to ...Thanks for that video link, David - really fun to see how involved Bakshi is with the physical perfomances. <br /><br />And James, that airbrush picture nearly sent me back into artist PTSD therapy... *shudder*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-11743717758751548772011-09-30T07:56:11.822-04:002011-09-30T07:56:11.822-04:00Great stories!

I've heard animators say Bakshi was a great guy to work with.<br /><br />I believe Ralph McQuarrie used cel paints for his Star Wars production design paintings.

I bought one when I first started playing around with airbrush in my mixed media stuff, and eventually switched to a gravity feed with the cup on top, because it clogged less often and seems to handle opaque paints better. That might handle the cel vinyl paint better, just have to refill more often.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565022224645774512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-18154072804586995142011-09-29T12:15:42.418-04:002011-09-29T12:15:42.418-04:0011 paintings a week!

He's not easy to get in touch with. We went on a few plein-air painting junkets in the '90s. I've actually kept in closer touch with Ralph Bakshi, who deserves a ton of credit for being a maverick in the animation business.<br /><br />Shane, Cel-vinyls are great if you love opacity.

I know there has been some hullahbaloo over his business practices in the past, but there's no denying that he made his work instantly recognizable. I think my woman has a jigsaw puzzle with one of his cottages as the eventual picture. It really surprises me that you both got to work on that movie. Ralph Bakshi is one of my favorite directors because of Fire and Ice as well as Wizards. Frazetta has been one of my favorite artists since I first saw his work when I was a young comic reading geek. Very cool.<br /><br />-PhilPhil Kapitanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815897695665857491noreply@blogger.com
