Four new prints will be released this month featuring the art of Juan Ortiz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The episodes covered this month are Journey to Babel, The Return of the Archons, Plato’s Stepchildren<\/em> and The Mark of Gideon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ortiz spoke about the prints, explaining what inspired the art on each one. For Journey to Babel<\/em>, “the word journey in the title implied a voyage aboard a tall ship to me,” said Ortiz. “Since the Enterprise has no tall sails, I compensated by cropping in close and evoking the tall sail image.”<\/p>\n

For The Return of the Archons<\/em>, the Sunday paper was the inspiration for Ortiz. “For some reason I pictured an article or story in the Sunday paper with this image of the two sentinels,” said Ortiz. “When I was a kid, I used to love going through all the papers on Sunday. I’m sure it was a ritual in many homes before the computer. Creating artwork for newspapers is what editorial illustration is all about. I would do it every day.”<\/p>\n

Plato’s Stepchildren<\/em>, not a fan favorite, was Ortiz’s favorite this month, but not for the artwork itself. “My personal favorite is Plato’s Stepchildren<\/em>,” said Ortiz. “Not so much for the illustration, but for the episode’s history behind it. When placed into context, it’s Star Trek<\/em> at its boldest”<\/p>\n

The set of four prints will sell for $34.95 and will be available for pre-order soon at StarTrek.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
