Star Trek & Bob Peak
 
Above is one of my favorite movie posters ever.  I had this in my room as a kid.  Man I miss Bob Peak. This illustration, along with scores of others, made me idolize illustrator Bob Peak.  He’s one of the reasons I became an illustrator.  He’s one of the reasons I chose Art Center as my college.
 
I spent countless hours in junior high and high school staring at Peak’s posters for films like Superman, Excalibur, and Apocalypse Now.  I wanted to grow up and paint movie posters.  Little did I know, that skill and uniqueness would be replaced by some dipshit with a computer....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I mean, DAMN that’s an awful poster.  
OK, let’s end with a Bob Peak to wash the taste out.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BTW-
I did really enjoy the new Trek film.  I thought the effects were great, and the story engaging.  The casting was good, and I think that the kid playing Kirk really pulled it off.  
 
more soon...
