Totoro Forest

[Maka]

Hello UY Dojo,

Charles Vess is participating in a "totoro forest" fundraiser.

http://greenmanpress.com/news/



"Now, Pixar art director, Dice Tsutsumi has asked a group of artists to “paint their own personal Totoros”. Over a hundred artists, mostly from the animation field have responded. A exhibition of some 60 of these pieces will be held at the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum this fall. A handsome art book will follow. All of the art will be auctioned and whatever profit is raised from those sales as well as the book will all go to the foundation and the purchase of more of that sublime landscape."

Peace, maka

The article said that it's mainly animation people and not comic book people contributing to this, but I'd love to see a Stan Sakai Totoro.

This foundation creatd by Hayao Miyazaki is really great, i really would like we have the same fundation here in France. Megalopolis are growing bigger and bigger and forests and green space are disappearing...

Here the website of the Totoro fundation :
