Bye Bye Robot Brings New Fine Art to Star Trek Fans by Trek fm

Fans who enjoy collecting Star Trek-inspired art now have a new source: Bye Bye Robot. Founded in 2011 by Charity and Chris Wood, who many of you know from their fan site Subspace Communique, Bye Bye Robot is an independent publisher of art.

CBS Consumer Products has granted Bye Bye Robot a license to produce official Star Trek artwork and the first pieces on offer are the “NCC-1701,” “Boldy Go,” and “Cold Blooded” Canvas Giclee Limited Run Fine Art Prints, and the “Troubbles” Paper Giclee Limited Run Fine Art Print. “NCC 1701” and “Boldy Go” both feature the Enterprise, while “Cold Blooded” features—you guessed it—the Gorn. And of course where there are “Troubbles” there must be Tribbles.

To find out more about these prints visit the Bye Bye Robot website, and see the official press release below.
