I've done a collectible ticket each year that I've been involved with the Utah Browncoats' CSTS event. A few of this years' organizers asked me if I would make one available worldwide, so in keeping with my port authority ticket from last year, I've chosen another location significant to Firefly. New Burbank. For those not in the know, New Burbank is one of the cities directly connected with the manufacture of the Firefly Class Midbulk Transport. This is a passenger boarding pass for people traveling from Osiris. The document is a pdf and there are four tickets to a page. I recommend a plain white cardstock and then they can be cut down by hand or at the printer. I used the color scheme from Don McMillan's designs and borrowed some of his thematic elements to tie it to the theme, including his patch ideas as official stamps on the back. Print and enjoy.

A year or more back I came across a fan drawn picture of Jayne reading comics, which is a personal favorite of mine, not just because it says a lot about Jayne, but it reminds us that comics are forever. I don't care how far out into the Verse we might get. Someone is going to draw comics.
I've wanted to do some Verse comics ever since then, and with the advent of the Expanded Verse, it seemed like a good time. It also didn't hurt that I already had the TANG ad from another project and this gave me the opportunity to increase the history and scope of Tang. Tang is a super corporation that exports everything from tools to mules, and this comic shows just one more of the creature comforts they export to the Rim. Good old fashioned comics.
I finished the layout just today. Then, while looking up some old contact information, I happened to notice that Namebrand used a similar tagging for his round barcode on a can of tomatoes from a few months back. Of course I was planning on the 'direct sales barcode' all along, but now I'm wondering if I didn't add it subconsciously from John's former project, and now that I'm thinking about it, this is my not so subtle way of asking John to show the tomatoes and every other cool thing he's made this year. Nudge-nudge.
This particular comic is called Virus.

Yes, I already have a second comic up and ready for printing. This is issue 20 of GLASS...a classic superhero comic complete with the back ad for an upcoming series called THE WHITEFALL WARRIOR! And yes, that is the Whitefall. Ben was kind enough to lend me his mug for the ad and an upcoming issue of THE WHITEFAAALLL WAARRRIIIOOORR!
It has to be said with emphasis or not at all.

Another in a long line of stuff from my desktop. This is a 'Notice of Intention to Export Live animals Other Than Live-stock'. It's a pretty standard export form for pets...horses...
...beagles. Nothing too fancy. Just paperwork.

Thank you very much. I've been busy on other things, so it will be awhile yet before I update again, though I regularly add to this project over on fireflyprops.net.

Yeah! I traveled over there a while ago when I was looking for inspiration for our wedding... I believe I saw some of your stuff there.

More stuff from the Expanding Verse...
It's been long surmised that the 'Fighting Elves' are probably a rugby team (given the name and the fact that Jayne would probably follow only full contact sports), so I decided to do a rugby ticket featuring the Elves and another team. Since the classic '28' is often used I chose another team player's number for this particular ticket (and because this particular number is mentioned throughout the series). I borrowed on classic rugby tickets for the various information. I also idealized the classic Fighting Elves logo by dropping out the white bits behind the lettering. This one doesn't have a backer, but I may add one later.

Here's another from the same series.

It's been awhile, which is not to say that I haven't been busy, what with captaining Can't Stop the Serenity and helping local events. I was privileged to be apart of the CSTS LA event when I created tickets, passports and a poster (alongside Sean Kennedy and Andrew Pace) for their shindig.
This is the poster for the LA event. Of course it features the planet 'Angel'. My thanks to Sean Kennedy and my brother Andrew for the digital effects.
