Storyboards from Heavy Metal 2000.
The studio comes complete with Eastman's own drawing board, which is filled with rough sketches, Post-It drawings and other work. He has also included the original storyboards from Heavy Metal 2000, as well as character designs and storyboards from Highlander: The Search for Vengeance. The latter was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll) and Eastman says that this collection includes work "that has never been seen outside of Japan."

A cell from Serial Experiments Lain
You can see the roots of Eastman's personal interest in anime inside the studio. One of the standout pieces is a cell from Serial Experiments Lain, backed by Heavy Metal art.

"[Lain] opened a can of worms that I just feast upon," says Eastman of the late-1990s sci-fi series. There are also Trigun and Akira posters on the walls.
