ABOUT THE IMAGE: This cel began with a drawing from Iwao Takamoto, original designer of the characters on Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! A master inking by Helene Hunter was silk-screened, along with the Hanna-Barbera seal of authenticity, onto an acetate sheet (or “cel”). Each cel was then expertly hand-painted on the reverse side. The background drawings were also drawn by Iwao Takamoto, and special attention was paid in the printing in order to capture the delicate line quality of the drawings. In the final step of production, the edition number was hand-inked on each cel. Upon completion of the edition, the master inking and drawing was archived.

This piece has been signed by Hanna-Barbera storyboard and layout artist, Bob Singer and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity!
