The Beginning!
Totoro Forest Project is online!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you recall the sculpture of the Alien guy I sculpted..the one trying to grow the plant? I told you it was for a charity auction, but I didn't give much detail about it. Well....The time is now!!! Here's your look inside this wonderful project that Dice Tsutsumi and a few others organized to preserve the Sayama Forest in Japan!!! (also known as Totoro Forest where director Hayao Miyazaki got the inspiration for his character Totoro.

Here's what the auction entails:
"Over 200 top international artists from animation, illustration, and comics are donating artwork especially created for this cause.
On September 6th 2008 Pixar Animation Studios will be hosting an art auction event featuring all these fantastic pieces of art. All the proceeds of this fundraiser will benefit the Totoro Forest Foundation.
On top of the auction we are producing a wonderful art book of the auction pieces and ... an exhibition at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco."
To look at all the beautiful artwork please go to:
