Persephone perhaps?  Shipping is gonna cost ya though...


Seriously, I have no idea, but I love pin ups, and I love Firefly (even named my son Malcolm) so if you find one, let me know.

Actually not a bad idea.  He has a Facebook page he posts on frequently.  

The painting reminds me Folies Bergere, but an image search doesn't turn up an exact match.

For that style, rather than that specific piece, do a google search for Alberto Vargas style pin ups or WW II nose art

I did a google search on the name but there is tons of stuff unrelated... Can you point me a bit closer? This is new territory for me. Thanks.

Sorry, I was kidding on the first line.  Persephone was the name of the planet where Badger was set up, and where that scene was I think.

Looks like a Vargas painting to me. You might want to go through his books to see if you can find it. You can find a lot of reproductions on the net.

I'd say ask the question on Firefly fan sites - they have figured most of this stuff out.

Could be Petty, too, but there were a lot of illustrators with very similar style way back when...

Yeah it looks like a Vargas pinup girl.

Do an image search & see if you can match it.

Yep.

Olivia DeBaradinas (sp?) is another to check out.

If its not one of Vargas' works it could be one of Olivia de Berardinis' paintings.

This isn't a Firefly fansite? . I think it was asked on Fireflyfans awhile ago, but I don't think anyone knew..

Drat because thats the one I really want. Would be cool to have it from the show. Or at least a print of it.

Looks like it was cut out of a larger billboard or something

thats one of the problems with hunting down props



someone prolly went into a random thrift store and bought it

then the set decorator painted the background darker

Man, that DO look like a Vargas girl!

Wasnt she on a p51?

Last year, or the year before we had a thread concerning the painting, and somebody had a link to a discussion identifying it, and the disposition of the painting itself. That's about all I can pull out of my brain for now.
