1999 WB Batman Beyond Lithograph from the Warner Bros. Studio Store Gallery . Excellent condition and well taken care off. Measures 32.5 x 30.5 inches. Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mark Taliani included inside the plastic sleeve attached on the back of the frame. Edition 209/500. Excerpt from the COA : The Batman Beyond lithograph began with the digital composition of video elements gleaned directly from the frenetic opening sequence to Batman Beyond. Due to the nature of production of the opening montage for broadcast, much of the original art was not available in a resolution suitable for fine art reproduction. Nathan Gates' original digital composition was then painstakingly reproduced by Batman Beyond background artist Hector Martinez, and digitally manipulated prior to printing in order to simulate the original digital effects. The lithograph was reproduced on 100% rag paper, utilizing a fine art lithography process in the edition of only 500, with an additional 50 Artist Proof's. The Batman Beyond logo was embossed below the printed image enhanced by a special ultraviolet gloss varnish which was serigraphically printed on the central character. Each piece was hand-signed by the show's award winning team of Producer Bruce Timm, Producer Paul Dini, Producer Alan Burnett and Storyboard Artist Darwyn Cooke, who edited the show's opening montage. Frame is sold as-is, artwork condition is excellent. Please ignore any flash, reflection or blur that is visible from taking the photo, this is not visible on the cel at all.
WARNER BROTHERS BATMAN BEYOND LITHOGRAPH Limited Edition Animation Art Signed
A cel (short for celluloid) is a blank clear plastic sheet used by the studio artist to paint an animated character or object based on the animator's original pencil drawing. The cels are then placed over a background and photographed in sequence to produce an illusion of life in the completed film or cartoon short. Every cel is different but this does not mean that every cel is unique. Often multiple copies of a cel were created by the Inkers as colour models in order to advance their technique and skills.
