Item Description
15-1/8x20" Crescent Illustrator's Board features mixed media original art for front cover of box for VHS release of The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones: Mystery Of The Blues. The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones was a series of made-for-television films based on The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV show, both starring Sean Patrick Flanery in the title role. The twentieth film in The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones, which featured Harrison Ford in a guest-starring role as the older Indiana Jones, serving to frame the story. Art was created by noted entertainment illustrator Mike Butkus, who provided art for many Young Indiana Jones home media releases. While Indiana Jones movie poster artist Drew Struzan provided art for The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Butkus was brought in as his style was rather similar to the detailed, yet stylized Struzan style Indiana Jones fans had come to expect, w/images of Flanery playing saxophone, surrounded by co-stars Jeffrey Wright, Maria Howell and Jane Krakowski. Art features beautiful use of color, w/artist's signature at bottom right. Exc. Of note, art is more extensive than seen on VHS box (an example is included in this lot), which cropped some amazing detail seen in the original art by Butkus. Paper overlay partially attached at top.
