Late in 1999, Universal Studios of Central Florida began to wind down a five year investment of transforming Orlando into one of the country's leading centers for television and film production. Though in previous years production groups regularly produced material in town to avoid the high union wages of the west coast, both at Universal and MGM Studios, high players like Viacom pulled out...taking with them the syndicated likes of SeaQuest, Superforce, Swamp Thing, SuperBoy...assorted Wrestling and Roller Derby programs...a live action Tarzan show... To this day, investors and producers remain in courts sorting out the mess. I know little of how they did things at MGM, but I worked for a number of people stationed at Universal's 22A building...host of some twenty-two independent companies. This sericel...and others like it... are prototypes for a product  intended to be sold in a number of galleries and shops.  No contracts were finalized.
Here is Jim Steranko's interpretation of the original Green Hornet!
Also this week.....The Marvel Superheroes have arrived featuring Spider-Man...the Sub-Mariner...and The Fantastic Four..as they appeared in comic books and television animation in 1966!  Also...The Green Hornet...Wonder Woman...and Mary Marvel complete this week's offerings. 
The line art is printed on an acetate sheet...it is hand painted on the back to render the printed inks opaque. The background an original airbrush painting rendered on a quality card stock.......the final effect is the stunning 3-D quality of an original animation sericel.....This art is in near mint condition and is matted in white with a cardboard backing. A plastic sleeve covering is included . The artwork viewing area is 8.5 by 11 inches..the mat is larger at 11 by 14 inches.   Please see this and my other auctions up coming this week for more specialty art material . Enjoy these weird and wonderful representations of the low brow / Juxtapoz art movement, celebrating the surreal, weird art and monster art and of course, good girl aesthetic! Posted with eBay Mobile
