Andrew Probert, a concept artist known for his work in television, film, computer gaming and theme park design, will visit Cincinnati State May 2 and 3. Probert will give a presentation at 6 p.m. Monday, May 2 in the ATLC Auditorium that includes examples of his work on such Hollywood hits as Back to the Future and two of the Star Trek films. At 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 3, Probert will conduct a drawing clinic in the Conference Center in the Main Building at Cincinnati State. Both events are open to the public free of charge. Pencils, paper and other necessary supplies will be provided for the drawing clinic. Probert's visit was organized by Cincinnati State's Industrial Design Technologies program, which was established eight years ago and currently enrolls more than 40 students. Cincinnati State President O'dell M. Owens noted that instructors and students from the Colleges' video production, computer graphics, graphic design and drawing classes have also expressed interest in Probert's visit. "This is a guy who's spent 30 years in a lot of businesses involving design - and he's worked on a lot of high-profile projects,'' Dr. Owens said. "We're delighted to have him at Cincinnati State.'' A Navy veteran born in 1946 and educated at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Probert began his Hollywood career designing the robotic Cylons for the original "Battlestar: Galactica." That led to an assignment with "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," working to update the overall look of Starfleet ships and hardware. Next came several television and feature-film projects, including "Airwolf", "Streethawk", "Back to the Future" and, in 1987, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" where, as the show's senior illustrator, he designed the Enterprise bridge and battle-bridge, the exteriors of the Ferengi Marauder, Romulan Warbird, and Enterprise-D spaceships, and provided concepts for the remaining sets and other hardware. In 1989, Probert joined Walt Disney Imagineering, designing theme park rides and attractions. He later entered the video game industry, working with Spectrum Holobyte, Sega, and recently, Perpetual Entertainment. A resident of Massachusetts, he is currently involved in producing paintings and an occasional book cover.
