Totoro No Furusato

Film animators, comic book artists and illustrators have come together to create original works of art inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro." The work has been created for an auction to benefit the Totoro No Furusato National Fund - also known as the Totoro Forest Fund. It was held Sept. 6 at Pixar Animation Studios and was a huge success. A book featuring all the works of art will be available for purchase on their website soon and a selection of the artwork will be featured in an exhibition, Sept. 20-Feb. 8 at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco.
