Star Trek: The Art of Juan Ortiz is a lavish coffee table book that presents a faux movie poster for each of the 80 original Star Trek episodes.
Drawing from stylistic influences as diverse as old boxing flyers to the works of Saul Bass, Ortiz envisions each installment as a grand movie event, with his phony posters appropriately reflectling the spirit of each episode.



Nearly 50 years since Star Trek originally debuted, it's difficult to contextualize the series in a new way. Here Juan Ortiz does just that...a jaw-dropping eighty times.
This fresh perspective on Trek is captivating and imaginative.





Juan Ortiz is an avid Star Trek enthusiast and an accomplished artist that set out to create an art program representing each of the 80 episodes from the Star Trek: The Original Series. The artwork embodies his passion for the series, the transformational Sixties, and the visceral reaction generated from each episode.

Since 1985, Juan has been an illustrator/designer for Disney and Warner Bros. and has penciled covers for DC Comics’ Looney Tunes and Tiny Toons magazines. He is also the publisher of his own comic book series, Silver Comics, seen in the Disney/Dreamworks release I Am Number Four (produced by Steven Spielberg) as well as The Skull Army, a macabre/detective pulp, featuring his creation (named) The End.
