Star Trek has a rich history of amazing artwork, and the posters of Bob Peak are considered some of the most seminal. Working alongside Bob Peak’s son, Thomas Peak, Vice Press have remastered Bob’s original artwork for release as fine art posters, starting with Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
“As fans ourselves, with this series we want to give fans of Star Trek the opportunity to collect artwork from both the cinematic and small screen universe in a form that is the highest possible quality,” say the team, “honouring the legacy of the creatives involved while also bringing something new, which was achieved by Matt Ferguson with the support of David C. Fein, Producer of Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition.”
Star Trek: The Motion Picture will initially be available in two limited editions, a timed regular edition and a foil variant of 200, both 24×36 inches.
The first release in this series, Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Matt Ferguson, sold out in only a couple of hours. To make sure more that as many Star Trek collectors as possible can pick up this edition, Vice Press are making the regular edition available for one whole week.
This means the edition size will be dictated by the amount of people who purchase the release during this time.
Vice Press was set up in 2015 to create cool stuff for things the team led by James Henshaw love, from their favourite films and TV shows to comics, games and more.
Everything the company does do is officially licensed and as well as limited edition posters and art prints, they have gone on to release premium collectibles like pin badges, coins, steel books and jigsaws, alongside our own apparel and line of frames.
Run from a warehouse in Sheffield, by a small team, they work with like-minded artists, licensors, printers, and manufacturers from around the world to produce exclusive, high-quality collectibles featuring incredible, unique designs for fans like us to collect and display in their homes.
• Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Bob Peak will be available exclusively from Vice Press today, Wednesday 11th October 2023 at 6.00pm BST (UK)/ 1.00pm EST/ 10.00am PST (US) – vice-press.com
