Itoya Art Portfolios

i split my acetate again into 2 folders, the 11x14 is GREAT for standard cels and some hankens. i still use a 13x17 for the big stuff. itoya is good for display of CGs that you know do not have a lot of genga/douga on the market.

i'm still watching both these storage topics on RS and Beta about genga as space is also a factor i have to consider as well.

Itoyas are the best for cels but some dealers overcharge for them, sometimes double price. PEARL is one of the best art supply stores I know and they sell Itoya books at a discount too! : http://pearlpaint.com/shop_search.htm?keywords=itoya&Submit=Go

i do like the site you posted but i still prefer getting my itoya's from mister art. i still find them cheap there wheither you have the discount or not.

i'm thinking of going the route that senei uses for his genga/douga. which is bagging the sketches and then storing them archival(sp?) storage boxes.

I get my Itoyas really cheap from my college's bulk supply dealer. I don't know if anyone had thought of checking around at art schools suppliers or in your college's store but it is well worth it.
