Firefly (T.V. Series, 2002 - 2003)/Serenity (2005) John Mullaney Collection: Hand-Illustrated And Painted "Serenity" Artwork By John R. Mullaney, 2008Entry/Object ID
AWPS8Description
A hand-illustrated and painted artwork of the spaceship Serenity from Joss Whedon's Firefly and Serenity, as drawn and painted by artist John R. Mullaney. This lot comes directly from the renowned cutaways artist and technical illustrator.
This unique artwork was commissioned and published by QMx (Quantum Mechanix) Collectibles and Universal Studios for the Serenity Architectural Cutaway Set set exclusively illustrated by the artist and released in 2011, and later reproduced in the book Firefly: Still Flying. The artwork is one of two main cutaways of Serenity herself (with a second view showing the rear section of the ship) accompanied by cutaway artworks of the two shuttles and the Mule. The artwork was set up using the digital model of the ship as seen in Serenity (2005) - an asset shared by Universal with QMx and the artist to ensure screen-accuracy. The artwork is packed with easter eggs showing props and costumes seen in both Serenity and Firefly, including Kaylee's Shindig dress; Jayne's guitar; Vera's woolly hat and gun; and Wash's trademark Hawaiian shirt. Selling in the thousands and lauded by lead actor Nathan Fillion, the poster set has long since sold out, making this and the set's other remaining originals especially rare.
The artwork is rendered in pencil, watercolor, ink and gouache on 300gsm watercolor paper, which is also mounted on foam board. Mullaney has signed and dated the artwork. Dimensions: 27.75" x 21" (53.5 cm x 70.5 cm)
