Some people just don’t know how to “take it easy” and one of those busy bodies is U.K. artist Matt Ferguson. He has a full time day job, has participated in almost EVER single Poster Posse project and STILL manages to release additional art at an alarming rate!
Star Trek fans will be glad that he has such a rigorous schedule because his four prints for Star Trek: The Next Generation are absolutely gorgeous. Here is the official announcement from Bye Bye Robot.
Bye Bye,Robot is announcing the launch of 4 new Star Trek: The Next Generation lithographs. These new posters, by artist Matt Ferguson, are inspired by all 4 of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies and every one is a unique visual representation of the story told within the films.
The prints are designed to be reminiscent of the old movie‐house posters we are familiar with from the past. Their height and width proportions convey the retro styling of a bygone era. The restricted yet rich color palette Ferguson uses brings these 4 designs together as a unified set, while their imagery shows off every story’s distinctiveness.
Along with the inclusion of the individual titles, each print contains the essence of its respective plot. From the character portraits of William Shatner as Kirk and Patrick Stewart as Picard, to the multiple ship portraits of the U.S.S. Enterprise, we see the major components to each story portrayed in such a way as to inspire a visceral response in each viewer. Pulling story elements together with iconic imagery you will also find the Borg Queen, the “Reman” foe, and the Nexus Ribbon amongst the striking visuals.
“These 4 new lithographs are a stunning combination of vintage movie‐poster design and Ferguson’s own personal style, culminating in a truly modern interpretation,” remarks Chris Wood, Co‐Founder of Bye Bye, Robot. “You can’t help but feel that you are getting a glimpse into the heart of each of the films, bringing to mind the wonderful memories we all have of watching these movies for the first time.”
Printed on heavyweight 100lb paper and under license by CBS Consumer Products, each new lithograph is 12”x24” and is available individually for $25, or sold together as a set of four, for the discounted price of $85. They are available for purchase today from byebyerobot.com at the prices listed above, plus shipping.
Let’s face it, you these things are like Pringles, you can’t have just one. Head over to their site today and pick up your set of prints. Follow Matt Ferguson on TWITTER because he often will share his next dose of awesome.
