3 Sequential SpongeBob Cels and 2 Drawings Original Art
This original animation cel is from the Nickelodeon TV show SpongeBob Squarepants. The story takes place under the deep blue sea in Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob resides. SpongeBob, who is a yellow, porous sponge, is your typical happy-go-lucky character, as he is always cheerful and enjoys making people laugh. Patrick Star, SpongeBob's neighbor who is a starfish, is your average children's show idiot, as he boasts knowing nothing and is often getting himself into ridiculous situations. Between the homes of these two lies the home of the miserable Squidward, a squid, who is known for being grouchy and playing tricks on SpongeBob and Patrick. Both SpongeBob and Squidward work at the Krusty Krab, a fast food business run by the greedy money-loving Mr. Krabs, a crab, the arch rival of the evil, possibly misunderstood, Plankton. Another neighbor, Sandy Cheeks, an athletic squirrel who normally wears an astronaut's space suit, was introduced in "Tea at the Treedome." She spends most of her time inventing and experimenting. Here are three sequential cels of SpongeBob uncorking his water-filled ears. The cel comes with a two bonus drawing overlays of SpongeBob uncorking his ears. Original Production Animated Cel and Drawing Original "rough" animation drawing, in black and non-photo blue pencil, with notations in black. The water is in non-photo blue.Overall Size of Drawing: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Overall Size of Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Very Good Condition; some slight paint wearThis is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants." Each one-of-a-kind set-up represents a slight change in position of the characters. When individually photographed and projected in rapid succession, the images appear to move.
To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is transferred onto an acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). The cel is then hand-painted on the reverse side. The cel and drawing are ready to be matted and framed. The animator's notations are at the bottom of the cel and top and bottom of the drawing. The cel is multi-layered: the water is on the first cel and SpongeBob is on the second. There is some minor paint residue on each of the second cels.
