Mini Attraction Posters

I've just posted a set of framed Disneyland mini attraction posters from the Disney Gallery in Disneyland. These are from our personal collection that we no longer have wall space for following our recent move. You can buy them individually, but you'll get a real steal on the entire set. See Them Now! before someone breaks up the set!

Who Was The Voice?

Most Disney fans have a favorite character, and one of the things that makes each character special is the voice that is usually provided by a celbrity actor or actress. I've just created a special section of our site for our featured Voice Actor Autographs where we take the autograph of the voice actor and match it with some attractive art to create unique collectibles. In addition, each movie's page has a list of the main characters and the names of the actors who gave them their voice. Who Dat? Follow the link and find out!

New Animation Art Added

I've been working hard lately to refresh the images on our site. The work is long overdue, but the good news is that it's given me the chance to photograph a lot of art that we've never shown online before. For example, I just added a new page of cels from Adventures in Dinosaur City and cels from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I've also added a lot of cels from independent productions like Allegro Non Troppo. You'll continue to see better images over the coming weeks, so if you can't get a good look now, please visit again soon!

Ad-Maker III© for Selling on eBay®!

Welcome to Rainbo Animation Art's Ad-Maker III©, the on-line tool for creating eBay® ads that we make available FREE in exchange for your patience with a little shameless self-promotion, some advertising, and a bit of necessary legaleze. Even if you've never sold anything on eBay® before, this webpage will teach you everything you need to know to get started - FREE! Click here if you've used Ad-Maker© before and want to make a new ad right now.

To save the auction ads you create here so you can use them over and over again, you'll also need a simple text file editor like Notepad or WordPad desk accessories included with Microsoft Windows, or SimpleText for Macintosh systems. Ad-Maker© requires only that you have a modern brower with JavaScript enabled.

Be sure to check out our eBay® auctions!

Getting Started

While this page has enough simple instructions for you to use Ad-Maker©, more complete instructions are available on the Ad-Maker© Help page. We suggest you start by printing out the Ad-Maker© Help page so you'll have all of the information handy as you use Ad-Maker©.

To create your own eBay® ad now, just follow the instructions given in the form below, completing each step in order.

Fill In The Ad-Maker© Form
Use the Preview function in Step 7 to see how the ad will look using the current settings in the Ad-Maker© form.
Make any changes you like to the settings in the form and repeat the Preview step until you're satisfied.
Press the "I Agree - Make My Ad!" button in Step 8 to have Ad-Maker© generate the HTML code for your ad in a pop-up window.
Copy the HTML code from the pop-up window into a text file containing all of your eBay® ads' HTML code using your favorite text file editor - OR - Proceed to Step 9 and submit your item to eBay® immediately.

Repeat items 1 through 5 above until you've created ads for all of the items you want to put up for auction. Then when you use eBay®'s form to put your item up for auction you just copy the HTML code from your text file and paste it into the eBay® form's box that holds the description for your item. Once you've submitted the item for auction, you just repeat this process until all of your items have been entered. We firmly believe that simple and attractive ads will go a long way to increasing your success on eBay®.

You can see what a sample ad would look like by pressing the "Preview Sample Ad" button below. This will fill in the form with the information for a typical eBay® ad and open Ad-Maker©'s Preview Window to show you how the ad would appear to bidders. Then you can try changing fonts and background colors until you see a combination that looks good to you. You might want to make a note of those settings so you can use them again the next time you use Ad-Maker©.
