Vice Press, the fine folks from the UK who are as passionate about pop culture as you are about finding the last slice of pizza, are boldly going where no art has gone before—into the cosmic realm of Star Trek. They’re unleashing an ongoing series of limited edition posters, prints, and collectibles that’ll make even Klingons raise an eyebrow in appreciation.
This cosmic journey will take you on a nostalgic trip through Star Trek‘s cinematic history. Picture this: original posters and artwork getting a makeover, like the franchise’s equivalent of a Hollywood makeover but without the Botox. And they’re not stopping there; they’re adding fresh, never-before-seen pieces to the mix.
Now, who’s the captain of this art expedition, you ask? Meet Matt Ferguson, the Creative Director at Vice Press and a certified Trekkie with more knowledge about Star Trek than most people have about their own family tree. His enthusiasm for the franchise is so infectious that even Spock might crack a smile.
The series debut? A brand-new masterpiece by none other than Matt Ferguson himself, designed exclusively for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. If you’re a Star Trek fan, this is like receiving a Vulcan mind meld of creativity and fandom straight from the source.
Those are not it. They’re resurrecting classic pieces, like Bob Peak’s original Star Trek: The Motion Picture posters, with fresh takes from artists like Florey, Paul Shipper, Rachael Stott, Danny Schlitz, and, of course, the captain of this Starship, Matt Ferguson.
And if you’re impatiently drumming your fingers, itching to see what’s in store, you can sneak a peek at teasers of the series. The force—oops, wrong franchise—well, the creative energy is strong with this one.
Now, for the grand finale, they’re unleashing Star Trek: The Motion Picture in not one but two limited editions. One’s your regular edition, a mere 200 pieces, and the other is a foil variant with just 175 copies. Both are 24×36 inches, perfect for displaying in your personal Captain’s Quarters.
So, Trekkies and art lovers, get ready to embark on a journey where no poster has gone before, and may your walls live long and prosper!
Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Matt Ferguson will be available exclusively from Vice Press on Thursday the 21st of September at 6 pm BST (UK)/ 1 pm EST/ 10 am PST (US).
