Collectionzz are commemorating the 50th anniversary of Rush's 2112 with a new pair of officially-licensed, limited-edition prints from illustrator Dave Kloc, along with a 3-piece set of pins. The 2112 anniversary prints are 12"x36" and come in both a Main edition and a Rainbow Foil edition. The Main edition is limited to 212 prints, while 76 of the Rainbow Foil editions will be made available. From the artist:
... when I was asked to illustrate a piece for the 50th anniversary of this masterwork, I was both excited and deeply intimidated. I wanted to show the band, in their era specific robes, that was for sure. And I knew I had to include the Temple of Syrinx and I wanted to show the push and pull of technology with the ancient learned ways so drew these glowing literary vacuum tubes throughout the piece. But most of all I kept returning to the lyric "Let the banners be unfurled. Hold the red star proudly high in hand." and that's what I started sketching and built the temple around that. Within the floating orbs that Geddy, Alex and Neil travel in - you'll see them with their instruments, bass, guitar, drumsticks and notebook - respectively. One of the things I've loved most about being a Rush fan is talking to other fans and seeing the enthusiasm that they all share for the band and the history they created. So I hope this piece exudes the same feeling that we all have as fans of the band, forever enjoying the connection to the music and Neil's timeless lyrics.
In addition to the prints is a 3-piece pin set depicting the faces of Geddy, Alex and Neil as drawn by artist Tom Whalen in their iconic 2112 kimonos sitting within the red star logo. Each pin is 1.25" hard enamel with glitter set on a galactic backer card. Both the prints and the pin set will be available for purchase via the Collectionzz website at 12PM EST TODAY!
