Description The Catbus from the anime My Neighbor Totoro. Done for a friend as a gift for his wife for Christmas. The source image is from the back of the back of the VHS case. I had never heard of Totoro until then and only watched the movie when this piece was done. A very cute story.

This piece is made from mostly Canson papers and some hand made papers. It measures 13" x 8".

The reflection of my camera in the center of the shot was unavoidable as the piece is framed and I couldn't remove the glass from the frame.


The Catbus and My Neighbor Totoro belong to Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli/Disney.

How long does something like this take for you?

I don't recall how long it took to make that one. My guess was around 20 hours? The complexity of a piece makes a huge difference. Structurally, this one isn't that complex; definitely not as complex as the second version of the Catbus.
