In The Grip Of Battle

An original pencil on paper drawing by popular artist Robert Bailey.

With bright pops of yellow accentuating the different tones of delicate graphite, this otherworldly original drawing by Robert Bailey perfectly captures the iconic characters and retro quality of Star Trek: The Original Series.

The historic show was given the retronym ‘The Original Series’ after its initial running from 1966-1969 to distinguish it from the tidal wave of subsequent adaptations; these include seven TV series, three animated series, and thirteen films (and counting). Before humanity had even landed on the moon, viewers had watched Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) traverse the Milky Way Galaxy with his crew on the ‘Starship Enterprise’ encountering new planets and civilisations! The subsequent pop culture revolution saw the original series become one of the most successful science fiction television series in history with modern adaptations continuing to be made today.

Hand-signed by William Shatner himself, who has since been into real space, this original artwork by Robert Bailey will add a touch of space-age magic into your home through a bold and bright colour palette and bespoke black wooden frame. View our full Robert Bailey portfolio .
