Vice Press, the creators of a host of officially licensed art prints inspired by a number of key science fiction and other franchises, have some great Star Trek items on preorder.

Just announced is a new series of limited edition, officially licensed series of limited edition, 24×36 inch movie posters featuring the art of Paul Shipper.

There will be two versions of his Kelvin timeline art: a regular edition of 170, and a foil variant edition of 160. Both prints will also be available ready to display in frames from The Poster Frame Co.

Paul Shipper is an award-winning Movie Poster Artist and Illustrator, best known for producing key art for film and his work in entertainment and advertising art. Born in Manchester, his formal education ended in 1997 with a BA in illustration and Animation from MMU. Paul has gone on to create illustrative key art for movie posters, home entertainment, books, comics, magazines, events and licensing work for clients such as Amazon, CBS, Disney, Foo Fighters, ITV, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Muse, Netflix, Nike, Penguin Books, Sky TV, Universal and Warner Bros.

“When I created this illustrated poster for Star Trek (2009), it was a direct response to the heavily Photoshopped theatrical posters of the time,” says Paul of his new work. “I believed then, as I do now, that Star Trek has always deserved the timeless, adventurous spirit of traditional illustration.

“Sharing this piece on social media didn’t just validate that belief – it went viral, kickstarting the next frontier of my career and connecting me with fans who share a passion for the art of the movie poster.”

Star Trek (2009) by Paul Shipper works by are available to preorder now from Vice-Press.com

Announced back in September, still available for preorder is a limited edition Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture Collection Library Case, featuring art by Matt Ferguson, now expected to ship in April 2027.
