While the pristine USS Enterprise is a sight to behold, artist Justin Van Genderen understands the appeal of a spaceship that shows its wear.  He recreated Volkswagen's classic "Lemon" print advertisement for the Millennium Falcon and the Firefly---with a slight twist.  Volkswagen's slogan was focused on quality control: "We pluck the lemons; you get the plums."  Van Genderen embraces the imperfect: "You keep the plums, we'll pick the lemons."

Hit the jump to see both prints and find out how to buy.

The "Lemon - Firefly" and "Lemon - Millennium Falcon" prints go on sale at Spoke Art's online store Friday July 19th at 3pm PST.  Check them out below.
