Glad you like them! Let me know if you have any issues with them. They're Signal exclusives for the time being, but down the road I'll probably be doing some others (ships from the Atlas, etc), through the QMx website.

Super shiny!

<waves to Ben>

Guessing I can put my order in for stuff and then arrange to pick it up at Dragon Con this year like Wendy did with my Map last year? (Finally going! WooHoo!)

Thanks and xie-xie. Hope to get a look at 'em tomorrow.

Hmmm...desktop wallpapers might be a big hit with fans.

I'm eagerly awaiting my Serenity keychains, and may have time this weekend to check out one of the maps/atlas items I ordered from QMx. Products for fans by people who are big fans and care about what they make...can't beat that with an ugly stick.

BTW, when I had a question about an order from QMx, the lady who responded was very friendly and helpful. Turns out there'd just been a simple mix-up, and no real error. It certainly didn't bother me, and she handled it with class. Great job, QMx folks. (She deserves a good compliment, and maybe a nice lunch.) Thanks!

Hey, Nick! (Still think yours is the funniest damn avatar going).

BlueCatShip - Hmmmm..... wallpapers....(okay, there'll be a few of those up with the ship icons at QMx at some point as well).

Glad the "by fans, for fans" part comes through. This has been a dream gig, to be sure. I absolutely love the material, and the QMx group are extremely supportive. And the fans don't stop with us freelancers. Geoffrey Mandel (the graphic designer on Serenity) is about as big a fan as any, to the point where he donated his time as Design Consultant on the atlas, picking through 'Verse minutia just like any of us street-level Browncoats, and offering any info tidbits he had along the way.

An example; the "Alliance" money seen in the atlas (the one with the eagle on it) was Geoff's original design. Joss told him to pull the eagle to make it more "third world", as it was supposed to be a local currency. So that's the money you see in the film - local currency, not Alliance. Well, as it turns out, Geoff used much of the same iconography as was used in the bills for the original show (including much of the same source material), so if you look at all the bills - show and movie - you see a lot of identical elements. Using Geoff's original Alliance bill, we tried to synthesize all that stuff into a description of 'Verse money as seen on the "Bank of Londinium" page.

Nice share! Now to the nagging: The link to the Atlas is empty.  Tongue

Hmmm...desktop wallpapers might be a big hit with fans.
For example, for me. I didn't find a Serenity/Firefly Wallpaper I really liked and tried screencaps from the movie, instead.
