BRIAN FROUD FAERIES FAIRY KING ORIGINAL ANIMATION PRODUCTION CEL DRAWING

Description: Description This is a great, original animation cel drawing featuring a wonderful image of the Fairy King from the popular CBS TV Special "Faeries" by Brian Froud. The piece was produced in the 1980's for the half-hour special which aired on CBS in 1981. The Animated TV special is based on a series of popular fantasy books that have their basis in Irish folklore. A young hunter Oisin is returning with his family from an unsuccessful hunt. He notices a fawn and strays away from his group. The fawn turns out to be a beautiful fairy, Princess Niamh, who asks him for help. This piece is from the scene where the fairy King as he unrolls the parchment as he starts to create a spell to try and control his evil shadow.

Overall this piece is in very good shape, suitable for framing, and would make a great companion piece for our other commercial art. See my other auctions for more great items. Usually rendered in graphite and/or colored pencil on paper, drawings illustrate an animator's creative process of bringing characters to life. Many collectors prefer drawings to cels, because they are often more spontaneous and full of life, and they are more likely to be the work of a lead animator. Any reflection you may see in the image is from the scanning process and not the piece itself. This is a truly unique piece of animation history. It is an original, hand-drawn piece of art that has retained production markings. The paper has no registration holes but has some registration lines in blue. THESE DRAWINGS WILL NOT ALWAYS BE AROUND AND ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND. CURRENT TECHNOLOGY USES COMPUTERS FOR JUST ABOUT ALL ANIMATION CARTOONS, WHICH MAKES THESE ORIGINAL PIECES OF ART A THING OF THE PAST! This is an actual production drawing , not a Limited Edition, print, or Sericel. A great rare and beautiful piece of animation artwork, perfect for any collection! Animation art collecting has become a great investment! Buy this one today for yourself or as a great, unique gift!
