If you know what I mean [cell / background] 

• 1982 
• Voorn, Ben van 
• Original comic art 
• Cartoons 

Watercolor for a background from the cartoon 'If you understand what I mean' by the master draftsman and project leader of this cartoon, Ben van Voorn. Outside passe-partout: 50 x 40 cm. Ben van Voorn was responsible for the many beautiful backgrounds of this cartoon. He also made the 'anchor cells', which were used as a guide for the intermediate cells from the cartoon, made by a Japanese studio. The cell (this word is derived from celluloid) in this background, as shown in the photo, is also from Ben van Voorn and was made with O.I. ink and colored with acrylic paint. Acrylic paint adheres namely better on celluloid than water based vef. The cartoon did not become the success that Toonder had dreamed of due to lack of financial means, but the original watercolors for the background of this full-length cartoon are of unparalleled beauty.
