CLICK HERE FOR AUCTION LISTING!18x20-1/8" Crescent illustration board features mixed media original art for front cover of box for VHS release of The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones: Spring Break Adventure. 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. Edited from Princeton, February 1916 and the second half of Young Indiana Jones And The Curse Of The Jackal (the segment referred to as Mexico, March 1916) episodes, it was released on VHS as the sixth chapter in The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones series. 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 along w/co-stars Robin Lively, Ronny Coutteure and Mike Moroff (as Mexican Revolution leader Pancho Villa). Art features beautiful use of color, w/artist's watercolor splotches forming a beautiful secondary border. 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. Butkus has signed at lower right as we as on textured paper overlay attached at top.
