Animation Obsessive

Shogo_Kaneda: Thank you for sharing the image boards! They're very rare and impressed me. How have you found them?

mdurana: There's always a "courtesy of..." under each image board and it seems like it's all books released for each film.

ge96: > Future Boy ConanThat's what that giant flying wing warship is from

caycep: also, the inaugural special exhibition for the new Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences museum in LA was on Miyazaki; they somehow gathered all these boards and notebooks in one place for several months. This was magical, and I give the curators props for doing this; they could have easily started off with a self-celebratory American/Hollywood franchise...But I think they released a exhibition book to go along with this that has a lot of his artwork in there as well

tralarpa: I highly recommend the NHK documentary "10 years with Hayao Miyazaki" that shows how he works (and also his sometimes difficult character).

mjhay: There’s so much magic, for lack of a better word, in those illustrations. Miyazaki is really one of a kind.
