In my Printmaking class I originally had wanted to play around with soil layers, and the passage of time. This quickly got scraped as I decided to go in a more personal direction and tackle the subject of Science Fiction. In my previous printmaking class I had done a couple intaglio prints based off of superheroes (Specifically Aquaman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
Looking around the internet I managed to find a couple of artists whose works sparked some interest in me.
One by the name of Angie Hoffmeister (Who by coincidence has a tumblr: http://angieiver.tumblr.com/), A freelance illustrator artists from Germany. She has a series of double images, this one “untitled” is one of her many interesting pieces; and the turning point in solidifying my Sci Fi theme:
Another big inspiration for me, going with this theme, has been old 60’s television shows: Think Lost In Space, and Star Trek (TOS).
The Star Trek posters created by Juan Ortiz has also heavily influenced my theme.
These are a sample of his works, they have all been complied into a book called “The Art of Juan Ortiz: Star Trek”
