The inspiration came from the sword and sorcery paintings that I used to ogle over as a teen, by <strong>Frank Frazetta<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For <em>Spectre of the Gun<\/em>, the nacelles of the USS Enterprise are guns. &#8220;My very first idea was to create a &#8216;wanted&#8217; type poster, but I felt it would be a bit too clich\u00e9 and not a serious depiction of that episode,&#8221; said Ortiz. &#8220;The guns make a broader and more serious statement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The prints, 18&#215;24 each, sell as a set of four for $34.95.
