Description when mondotees contacted me to illustrate a poster for the journey to babel episode of star trek: the original series, i wanted to bring to it a vibrant, clean design sense that evoked the retro/future vision of the show. from the gallery of alien delegates to the hierarchy of mr. spock's family, the classic episode provided me an abundance of visuals to work with.

when i began this project, i had only seen a hand full of ST:TOS episodes, and most of those were when i was a kid. having watched a few to get me in the right frame of mind to design this poster, i can finally see why this franchise has so many rabid fans. it truly was an amazing, thought provoking, progressive show. i can't wait to go back and watch more episodes!

poster specs:
• 4 color screenprint on offwhite stock
• size: 18" x 24"
• limited edition of 260

sale info:
• date: fri, oct 22
• time: random (follow @MondoNews for a hint!)
• where: mondotees

As a long time Trekkie, I say to you: Magnificent! this is a brilliant representation of th complexity of this particular episode and the strength of the Star Trek franchise. Someone should hire you to take on all of the best episodes of any generation of Trek in this artistic fashion. (As an aside, I imagine you could make a pretty penny doing this as well...consult your lawyer before embarking upon such a perilous but potentially lucrative journey.)

Thank you for your artistic expression of my most favorite of television shows.

My Dad has Journal to Babel on VHS. We have watched it so many times and we love it always. Its a wonderful story how Spock and His Father were able to break the barrier between them.
