At the risk of sounding like a broken record, look in "The Guild Handbook," pp. 154, 421-22, listed under "cel painting" in the Index. In the Bibliography, under "Illustrating Medical Subjects," p. 556, is a reference to an article by Steve Harrison on "Cel Vinyls: Materials and Methods" from the J. of Biocommunication, Vol. 10, no.4, Dec. 1983. Maybe you can obtain a copy of this article or original issue from the AMI (phone: 404-350-7900) or a friendly long-time medical illustrator. But I have the issue and will photocopy the article and mail/fax it to you, Lynette. Can't promise to send this to everyone on the listserv! Elaine Elaine R.S.
