CLICK HERE FOR AUCTION LISTING!15x20" Crescent Illustrator's Board features mixed media original art for front cover of box for VHS release of The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones: Attack Of The Hawkmen. 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 twelfth film in The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones, it was edited together from The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episodes "Racenelle, Early February 1917" and "Ahlhorn, Late February 1917." 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/image of Flanery wearing aviator helmet, flying w/the Lafayette Escadrille. Smaller portrait shows Marc Warren as German Ace Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron. Biplanes can be seen in the bkg., including dogfight at top. Art features beautiful use of color, w/artist's signature on back. 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 w/attached black and white photocopy of art is detached and comes along.
