Online T-Shirt Retailer Releases “The Walking Red”

April 22, 2012 By Willie Laundrie In Apparel, Art, Geek Culture, Merchandise

One-day-and-it’s-gone online t-shirt retailer TeeFury has a gruesome new Star Trek-inspired shirt available for a short time this weekend, The Walking Red.

Playing off the popular “Walking Dead” comics and television show, as well as Star Trek‘s favorite expendable crewmen, this limited-edition shirt is currently on sale at TeeFury .

Move fast, though: the shirt disappears at midnight on Sunday (or whenever it sells out), and then it’s gone forever.

TeeFury specializes in “one new super limited-edition tee every 24 hours for $10,” featuring artwork by a variety of artists in a number of styles and genres. A quick look through their gallery shows work drawn from science fiction, video games, comics, geek culture, and more.

Looks like the Red Shirts get the last laugh this weekend!

“I, Borg” Poster Available Friday from Mondo

November 17, 2011 By Brian Wilkins In Art, Merchandise

Mondo is set to release yet another addition to their ever-growing Star Trek limited edition poster series.

On Friday (11/18), the Austin, TX based company will put on sale two Star Trek: The Next Generation “I, Borg” posters. The first of which is limited to 250 and will sell for $40. The second poster, a metallic variant edition will be limited to just 80 and will cost $65.

The 24″ x 36″ posters, designed by artists Jesse Philips, will be hand numbered.

As with all Mondo releases, these will sell out quickly and will go on-sale at a random time on Friday with an alert being sent through Twitter.

You can follow Mondo on Twitter at @MondoNews.

Read the description from Mondo below.

Jesse’s unique style complements the nature of the episode illustrating the connections Hugh has to the collective as well as the new relationships he develops while on board the Enterprise which awaken the sense of identity suppressed by the collective. X-ray insets throughout the piece remind the viewer that there is flesh…a real heart at the center of the wires and machinery forced upon him by the Borg. The hard realization Picard eventually has to acknowledge in the episode.
