Seeing anime cels on display has inspired me to post my own tiny (but frankly awesome) collection of original cels. I own two, both from AKIRA. Really need to get these framed.

I utterly adore the STAR TREK posters of legendary artist Tsuneo Sanda (@bokusanda). He's been producing Trek art (and is probably better known for his Star Wars pieces) for decades, and each one has an epic, sweeping sense of scale and vibrant action.

Miyazaki's watercolour manga "The Journey of Shuna" is a masterful minor work. There are striking shades of Nausicaa and Mononoke, yet it's also a distinctive adventure with some captivating worldbuilding. Currently only available in Japanese, but a synopsis can be found online.

I’ve got a real nostalgic fondness for all the American merchandise and books that were released in response to the huge popularity of THE LEGEND OF ZELDA and the NES. This odd old storybook is very charming, and has become a family favourite!

I tried to recreate the film’s poster. Not sure I quite captured Kiki’s iconic expression of ennui.

I rewatched PORCO ROSSO for the umpteenth time earlier this week for research, and enjoyed it more than ever before, leading to another rewatch the next day. It's a truly beautiful, quietly profound film about survivor's guilt, pacifism, and self-determination, and I adore it.

I revisited this over the weekend: Miyazaki’s concept art for an early, abandoned version of PRINCESS MONONOKE, published in picture-book format. It’s a very different tale, combining a beauty-and-the-beast story with evil magic in feudal Japan.

Just got a couple of essential shojo-studies books in the Palgrave sale: "Shojo Across Media" by Jaqueline Berndt, Kazumi Nagaike, and Fusami Ogi, and "Manga Cultures and the Female Gaze" by @kathrynthehuman #FilmStudies

Birds of Prey is pretty cool! Chaotic and charmingly convoluted. Needlessly gruesome, though. I’m loving DC’s output right now. It’s all so vibrant and idiosyncratic.
