#51 By Any Other Name

Let’s see, is it a Star Trek poster or a Kotex Ad?!  I admit, as I watched Kelinda ‘bloom’ the whole time I was creating this, all I could think of the the old Kotex box (of feminine products) that we used to get as teenagers.  Must be all the roses!

#50 A Piece of the Action

Perhaps one of the most beloved episodes of the original series. Of course ‘Koik’ is the Joker here, and ‘Spocko’ is just the King of Cool… (oh those suits!) My 50th poster already!!

#49 The Immunity Syndrome

As Star Trek carried on into it’s 2nd season, it began airing more stories set on board to save on it’s paltry limited budget.  Immunity Syndrome was definitely one of the better ones.  For this poster I preserved the ‘amoeba’ used in the original broadcasts.  The new CGI one is okay, but this one seemed more sinister.

Happy 48th Anniversary to Our Favorite little Space Opera!

Inspired by today’s Anniversary, I made this little poster; 48 images for 48 years!  Happy Birthday Star Trek! With Love to  Bill, Leonard, George, Nichelle, Walter and Grace!!  Congratulations on being part one of the best and happiest parts of American culture!  May you truly LIVE LONG & PROSPER! trek 48 Love, Therese

#48 “Obsession”

Obsession was one of those episodes I didn’t like much as a kid, so whenever I see it, it’s almost been like a new episode for me since I don’t know all the dialogue from heart! Looking back on it now, it’s really a pretty good one, especially in regard to Kirk’s complex emotions here. I included a ”faded” picture of Kirk here from Where No Man has Gone Before to represent him as a younger man.  Ironically, that picture was only taken about a year and a half earlier when Where… was filmed, but Kirk does look astonishingly younger between the two shots.  I added to the illusion of youth and maturity by squeezing the older image to make him look thinner, and slightly stretching the color image from the episode to give him a little bulk.   Young Ensign Garrovick needed no adjustment, as he’s just gorgeous.  🙂

#47 The Gamesters of Triskellion

I love the blue and gold graphics in Gamesters, it seemed a good place to start the artwork.  It would have been easy to make Shahna the center of attention here, (James Bond style) but I liked her better as an accent.  Also Galt has such a marvelous, angular, and imposing Darth Vader-ish form,  that his profile made a perfect focus.

#46 ‘A Private Little War’

Although Nona isn’t quite the focus of APLW,  in true ’60’s style I promoted Ms. Novack here, who was quite the hot property in the mid ’60’s.  The catchphrase here is an homage to the song “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets” from Damn Yankees.  Definitely true in Nona’s case (until her last scene, of course).46 A private little war

 

#45 ‘Journey to Babel’

It’s Journey to Babel!   And well, of course a biblical reference would work here! Note Kirk and Thelev ‘falling’ off crumbling tower! The title font and desert backdrop add to the ancient reference too. I had Sarek at the top of the tower for without him, the mission would be a failure.

#44 Bread and Circuses

Here’s the next poster —Bread and Circuses.   I especially liked the idea of making Merik look like a crumbling Roman mosaic. His blue eyes gaze out from the past, and of course, in the Roman tradition, all my ‘U’s look like ‘V’s.

#43 The Trouble with Tribbles

I’ve been grinding out a bunch of these Trek movie posters lately!  For the next few weeks you’ll see new ones every Tuesday and Thursday!  I made a variation of Kirk in the Tribbles here; his body from one scene and his head from the moment he says “WHERE?” to Scotty. Also it seemed only right to throw Koloth into the mix.

Enjoy, and let me know how you like them!   I’m up to # 50 now!
