ABOUT THE IMAGE: This special Limited Edition Cel was created to commemorate the award-winning pairing of Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny for their first Nike commercial, “Hare Jordan.” The spot has delighted viewers since its premiere at Super Bowl XXVI, and garnered an armload of prestigious advertising awards, including: the Annie Award for best commercial animation/ASIFA, Grand Jury Award at the Houston International Film Festival, the Hugo Award form the Chicago International Film Festival, and the first place Mobius Award, and USA Today’s Best Super Bowl Commercial 1992. Despite the long and short of Michael Jordan and Bugs’ physical contrasts, the dynamic pair-- “Air” and “Hare”--work together like yin and yang. It’s only the beginning, Bugs says, of a “bee-yoo-tee-ful friendship.” Court bullies don’t stand a chance. The cel image is hand-inked and hand-painted.

ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Hand-painted limited edition cels showcase legendary characters and recreate classic moments from great cartoons, using the same materials and techniques as were used in making the originals. Cel painting is a time-honored, and extremely exacting process requiring that each color be individually applied by hand.
