Seeing some new people following this channel. I just want to say I'm grateful. welcome. 🙏🏻

Just want to reassure those new & old this is a LGBTQ friendly page. I'm here to share my art & goof off talking Star Trek. While my art is SFW, I will also boost other artists whose work is NSFW. 🖖🏻

Boycotting big corporations this gift-giving season? Maybe consider a custom fanart for yourself or special someone. @spongynova.bsky.social's expressive characters and unabashed raunchy designs are why they're this month's featured artist.

Their commissions are open. 🖖🏻

One small detail I'm a big fan of is all the rigging on the Klingon ships in Enterprise. In fact, these are some of my favourite Klingon designs. After the originals at least.
Klingon D5 CGI model from Star Trek Enterprise Klingon Raptor CGI model from ENT Klingon D4 CGI model that was meant to appear in the ENT episode "Unexpected", but they used a K't'inga instead.

Harry Kim has literally survived worse. He's about to introduce the fella in the mask to what he calls "The Night Shift."

Day 35 of inserting a random Muppet into a random Star Trek screenshot

#StarTrek #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #TheMuppets
Screenshot from "A Space Adventure Hour" showing some of the Enterprise crew's likenesses being used in a holoprogram. From left to right, in the top row we see M'Benga and Chapel as Anthony MacBeau and Adelaide Shaw, La'an Noonien Singh as Amelia Moon, and Erica Ortegas as Lee Woods. In the bottom row are Pepe the King Prawn and Gonzo of the Muppets wearing suit jackets and bow ties. They are all standing in a 1960s mansion where a murder has just taken place.

USS Enterprise-B bridge, STAR TREK GENERATIONS (1994)
USS Enterprise-B bridge looking forward from the Captain's chair to the view screen. The Enterprise-B bridge set was created under the supervision of veteran TREK Production Designer Herman Zimmerman, a redress of the Enterprise-A bridge set Zimmerman had designed for STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER. The set was repurposed within GENERATIONS, serving as the primary interior of the Amargosa Observatory.

A poorly photoshopped picture of a Star Wars action figure package for a character named Potato Man. It's Morn from Deep Space Nine.

A little movie trivia for you on this #Mornday.

#StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9
Morn was in the cantina scene in the original cut of Star Wars. He lost interest in acting after the movie billed him as "Potato Man." [Image: Scene taken from Star Wars (1977) showing the bar in the Most Eisley cantina. We see a variety of containers, cups, and receptacles all along the bar. Sitting at the bar, from left to right, are Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke skywalker, and Morn.]

I am still on the job hunt.

I am looking for work as a Creative Director, focusing on branding and/or marketing. In-house, or agency, I have experience in both.

So if anyone knows anyone looking for a Creative Director, send them my way!

A complete piece I found sitting in my wips folder. #StarTrekLowerDecks but in a specific type of 2000's TV animated series- ish style 🥹
This is just a bunch of nostalgia wrapped up into a scrappy lower-decker bundle.
#StarTrek #lowerdecks
Star Trek: Lower Decks main character line up fan art in a 2000's TV animation style. Top Row: head shots of (left to right) Lieutenants Junior Grade Beckett Mariner, Bradward Boimler, D'Vana Tendi, Samanthan Rutherford and T'Lyn Bottom Row: Mariner has a heavy duty wrench over her left shoulder and her right hand on her waist. She's coyly smiling at Boimler on her right, who has a phaser in his right hand and awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck with his left. Next to them is Tendi, propping herself up on her left leg, as she presents a medium sized vial of an organism with a heavily worried expression to Rutherford next to her, who is scanning the vial with an equally concerned expression. He has a tricorder on his other hand. Next to them stands T'Lyn, who is holding a PADD in her right hand and watching them all with a neutral expression.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

My last 3 brain cells:
screenshot from the Star Trek The Next Generation episode "Phantasms." Geordi, Data, and Captain Picard are standing together. Data's chest is open. An old timey telephone is in the cavity. Captain Picard is speaking on the receiver.

Partner was having a talk with their 11yo nephew about pronouns (nephew brought it up) He says, "I know there's 'he,' 'she,' 'they,'... 'deez nuts.'"

I don't *think* it was an elaborate setup for a deez nuts joke but the kid has very good timing.
