Artwork!

It has been quite some time since we have offered artwork made by the production team of BSG. Well guess what?! Next week in the “33” eBay auction, we are offering original artwork from The Plan. And here is some even more exciting news—we have not just one, but THREE pieces of original work. These are all original concept drawings illustrated by Terry Pitts. The costumes were designed by Glenne Campbell. Done on fiberboard with watercolor and detailed with art markers, these illustrations are not only reminiscent of the Battlestar Galactica series, but also interesting pieces of art that can be framed for display.

Conceptual costume rendering of a Number Five Doral Cylon from the telefilm “The Plan.” This drawing illustrates the attire worn by the Doral Cylons who were tasked with burning the dead human bodies on Caprica.

Conceptual costume rendering of the young boy from the telefilm “The Plan.” This drawing illustrates the clothing worn by the small orphan boy who tries to befriend the Priest Cavil aboard the Battlestar Galactica.

Conceptual costume rendering of a “Leonis Air” flight attendant from the telefilm “The Plan.” This drawing illustrates the attire worn by the female flight attendants.  The costume depicted in this drawing is also offered in this week’s auction.

Flight Suit Riot!

Today I would like to address a question that has been bouncing around in my head ever since Battlestar the series began.  The question is this: why do those frakkers look so cool all the time?  In space!  The answer: their flight suits of course!  When our astronauts here in the good old USA put on their suits, they look like marshmallows with American flags on their shoulders.  They are certainly puffier and less menacing than the sleek, shiny and physique-flattering BSG flight suits.  These flight suits feature silver wrist cuffs, suede vests, and awesome patches and pins.  Not to mention they are made from a material SO durable, it will protect you against the destructible elements of unknown atmospheres!  (on the show people, not in real life.  Do NOT try this at home.)

In the next auction we will be offering two Battlestar Galactica flight suits.  This could be the week of auctions that you take home a flight suit of your very own!  Take a closer look:

BSG Props Raptor Flight Suit, Size Small

Small Raptor flight suit.  This costume was worn by background actors throughout the series.  Production-made flight suit (size Small), including Senior Lieutenant rank pins, Standard Flight Wing pin, BSG patch on left shoulder, Raptor patch on right shoulder, silver wrist cuffs on the wrists and ankles, and a flight vest.

BSG Props Burned Raptor Flight Suit, Size Large

Small burned Raptor flight suit. Pilots wore flight suits to protect them from the extreme temperatures of outer space. This costume was worn by background actors throughout the series.  Production-made flight suit (size large), that has been burned and extremely distressed. The suit features a Raptor patch on the right shoulder, silver cuffs on the wrists and ankles, burned flight vest and gloves.

Happy bidding, buddies!

Buccaneers!

Like every other typical American girl, I am obsessed with fantasy sports leagues.  I mean, who isn’t?  Picking your favorite players, trash talking your co-managers/best buddies, winning 100 dollars at the end of a well-played season.  Now, I’ll bet you didn’t know this, but I have it on good authority that before the destruction of the Twelve Colonies, Fantasy Pyramid Leagues were all the rage. (Well, not on Sagittaron.  There it was looked upon as gambling.  Those Sagittarons need to cut loose once in a while if you ask me).  And within these leagues, the number one player pick of every season, without fail, was Samuel T. Anders.  He was the Beckham of his time… and the answer to your next question is yes, that would indeed make Kara Thrace the Posh Spice.

Alright, I may or may not have made that up.  But let’s just admit something right now–the C-Bucs and Samuel T. Anders rule! Especially in “The Plan”, when we get to see an in-depth look at the freedom fighting Cylon resistance force they were creating.  Tough, courageous heroes AND professional athletes–best combination ever.  Coming up in this next auction, we are offering many items worn and used by the Caprica Buccaneers in “The Plan”.  You can get your very own C-Bucs uniform, patch, athletic bag, and more.  Check out the following items so you can be a legend, just like Anders! (well not the Cylon thing, but all the rest of it):

I Need a Hero

This week is going to be an important one in the history of our lives.  It will be a week that sets apart the men from the boys, the women from the girls, the rational from the crazy.  This is the week Home Depot sells out of steel bar sliding locks for doors and all grocery stores overstock canned goods, only to find themselves a barren wasteland of empty shelves at the end of each day.  Armageddon?  Apocalypse?  No, this is not the end of the world–but it is the end of the world as we know it.  This is the week when that little movie–that vampire/human love story starring a skinny British hipster and a washboard stomached 17-year-old werewolf–hits theaters.  Essentially, this week, the power of Tween Fandom obliterates the country by descending upon it with such insane zombie-esque mob strength, that it leaves nothing in its path.  Be afraid.  Be very…wait a minute!  Maybe we shouldn’t run from these fanatics just yet.  These people want a piece of something they love, just like us.  Right?

Are we really that far removed from these fantasy/romance loving fan-kids?  I think you know the answer to that.  We LOVE our BSG.  And I bet you two cubits (get it? cubits.) that you would be just as crazed if you saw Edward James Olmos walking down the street in skinny jeans, a Duty Blue Jacket and a pale, sullen look in his eyes.  Well…maybe not.  Perhaps our fanaticism is a little more adult and sophisticated than that.  Perhaps we pride ourselves on being able to walk around like normal people by day, and only let the excited 15 year-old fan side of us come out in the comfort of our own home.  Only when we sit in front of the computer screen and log on to eBay to look upon the new items up for auction.  Our tummies begin to flutter as we realize these items could be ours!  Because, as “responsible adults”, with “responsible adult jobs”–we can afford all the cool toys we want!  Rad!!!  And lets just admit right now that the best “toys” of all, are the hero props.  These are the props that were actually touched, specifically USED BY our favorite characters (Swoon!!).  Just think, if only you could hold THE SAME notepad that Baltar doodled on!  What if you could wear the ACTUAL dog tags worn by Gaeta?! (Shriek!)  Guess what…YOU CAN!!! (Gasp. Faint.)  For the next auction, we are going to offer you several opportunities to own some hero items from your favorite show of all time (BSG, of course!).  Here are some of the items.  Go for it, you fellow fanboys:

Gaeta’s Dog Tags
Felix Gaeta’s dog tags with chain. Standard Galactica tags with the colonial seal, “L. Gaeta,” and serial number etched onto each tag. Distressed condition.

Lee Adama’s Watch
Lee Adama’s screen-used, hero watch worn during the dream sequence while floating on his back in the water in Season Two’s “Resurrection Ship.” The watch is made by Nixon. The watch face has been modified to read “asmodei.” Functionality of prop is unknown. Measures about 2½″ in diameter.

Baltar’s Hero Page of Notes from Trial
The hero notepad from the trial of Baltar in Season Three of BSG. The notepad includes pages of “doodles” and notes drawn by James Callis as Gaius Baltar.

Tom Zarek’s Quorum Pin
Tom Zarek’s hero Quorum of Twelve pin. This is the hero pin worn by Richard Hatch as Tom Zarek, while the character was a representative of Sagittaron. Small production modified pin. The pin is plastic and has been painted sliver. The pin has red backing and measures .75″ long.

Simon’s Hero Suicide Note
Hero suicide note written by the Number Four Cylon Simon, who lived as a Colonial medic aboard the Cybele and had married Giana O’Neil. He killed himself out of resurrection range rather than destroy his ship and family like Fleet Cavil ordered him to. As seen in the telefilm “The Plan.” Production-made handwritten note “torn” from a book with cut corners. The note reads, “My Dear Giana Forgive me. Kiss Jemmy for me. Love outlasts death Your Simon”. Measures 8.3″ x 7.1″.

Happy bidding, Buddies!!
