Well 'Versed

Mike J. was kind enough to share some of his own Firefly/Serenity documents in the comments to Thursday's post.  He's produced alternate currency, bureaucratic paperwork, tax stamps, and some excellent industrial signage.  The rest of his blog is pretty cool as well.  It focuses on more obscure prop items, including some well done Mythos items.

Paperwork from the 'Verse

"Firefly" is long gone, but it's fans continue to keep the show alive.  Yellowjacket brings us an impressive collection of paper props from the 'Verse, including ship's papers, transit labels, industrial signage, and currency.  His discussion thread includes links to everything in high-resolution PDF format.

Trophy Hunting

Artist Krista Montgomery brings us the mounted head of a juvenile mud worm.  The paint job on the beastie's skin is fantastic.

Red Alien

"Red Alien"  was a multi-media art installation by Ommo Will* on display in Lennestadt, Germany earlier this year.   The project told the story of an alien specimen recovered in the GDR, and eventually seized by the Soviets, sometime during the 50s.  A huge number of props and faux documents were used to build the narrative, everything from ancient clay idols to the titular alien carcass.  The Google translated version is over here.

The Call of the Sea

As he often does, Dan Baines has kicked his FeeJee Mermaid display up another notch.  He's now added an automated sideshow barker that performs a traditional callout for passers-by.   You'll find the previous installments about his build over here.
