Ray Daly is Looking for Work @raydrawsdaly.bsky.social · Jul 8

Hey, it's Ray! I'm a Texan board, cover, and comic artist that loves all things Star Trek and scifi. I'd love to join your team! #PortfolioDay

A Klingon woman and a Starfleet captain having a stand-off. Blath'karr is holding a bat'leth and symbolically preventing the USS Diagne from nearing Qo'nos. She is looming and snarling over Captain El-tehs, a Romulan, while they look up at her.

A three panel comic of two Starfleet officers talking to each other, Lieutenant Abubakar and Ensign Nako. They are in a cave system with bright cyan pools. In the first panel, Abubakar says, “Subsurface development changed the probability of crew fatality. I had not anticipated this when I put you on the mission.” Nako asks, “Getting trapped, you mean?” In the second panel Utut is near a pool and says to Abubakar, “Not my first mission, love. These things happen.” Abubakar responds in two bubbles with a break in the middle, “Things I could have expected, yet failed to do so.” and “I am responsible if something happens to you.” In the third panel Nako looks at Abubakar and responds in two bubbles, “Ọdab! Let’s not dive right to mourning. You can’t anticipate everything, Kadi.” and “Take responsibility for finding us this gorgeous date spot!”

An illustration of a family photograph of Beckett Mariner and Carol and Alonzo Freeman from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Carol and Alonzo are lower deckers aboard the Enterprise D and Beckett is a small child. Around them are Worf, Data, Geordi, and Riker. They’re posed on the bridge with the Enterprise dedication plaque behind them.

A four-panel comic of Amethyst and Pearl from Steven Universe showing each other paintings they have done of each other. In the first panel Pearl worriedly reveals a realistic portrait of Amethyst and says, “If we had more time, mine wouldn’t look so amateur…” in cursive. In the second panel Amethyst is nodding while looking at the painting. In the third panel Amethyst has flipped her easel around towards Pearl to reveal her painting of Pearl. Pearl is depicted as an ostrich squawking loudly with paint splatters. Amethyst is smiling while saying, “I went for more of a feeling...” The fourth panel is a close-up of Pearl pursing her lips together angrily with an arched brow. Amethyst is going ‘hu hu hu’ from off-screen.

The NY Art Book Fair doubles as a tremendous display space for agit-prop and activist posters and graphics.

Absolutely worth checking out for that alone, if that's one of your interests.

At MOMA PS1.

Wall of posters at the NY Art Book Fair, mostly poitical, including messages like "YOU CANNOT COVERUP GENOCIDE," "GENDER LIBERATION," WE WANT TO LIVE FREE," "ACTUP*OCCUPY," "A Benefit for Jesse Jackson," and much more

One of the early practice pieces I did while we were brainstorming the #StarTrekLowerDecks Marinler zine. I wanted to do something in the retro magazine/ad art style, soon the infection spread and it became the unofficial theme 🥰 You can download it at
israeldrawsdaly.gumroad.com/l/theywerebu...

A drawing of Star Trek Lower Decks characters Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler cozied up on a light blue crescent moon prop hanging from the ceiling, against a deep blue background of a night sky. They are in their white ceremonial jackets. Beckett has her back against the prop, and Brad is propping himself up on her lap. He has his violin on his chest and looking up at Beckett, smiling. Becket holds him from behind, smiling back. She has one arm slung over his shoulder, and the other wrapped around his neck, cupping his face gently with her hand. They each have one leg hanging off the the moon prop, their feet touching. In the distant background Venus and Mars can be seen. Above the cover art, "Saturday Evening post title can be seen, partially covered by the drawing, Tiny fonts read "June 30, 2383" on the left side of the cover frame, and "60449.6161212582", the Star date on the right. At the bottom there is a list of people who's writing is on the imaginary issue, it reads " Jake Sisko, Natima Lang, Victoria Nuze, Petra Aberdeen, Luisa Kim"
The drawing is a close parody of "Crescent Moon Couple" , cover art of Saturday Evening Post, issued on June 14, 1930 by Elbert Mcgran Jackson.

"Crescent Moon Couple" , cover art of Saturday Evening Post, issued on June 14, 1930 by Elbert Mcgran Jackson. The Classic Saturday Evening post font is partially covered by the art, which is a couple sitting on a yellow crescent moon against a dark blue starry background. The man is leaning against the woman's lap as he woos her by playing an ukulele and singing to her. The woman has her hands joined under her chin, listening and smiling while she looks at him endearingly. He seems to be in a navy blue jacket, a pair of biscuit pants and a pair of two stone shoes, She is in a pink satin flowy dress lined with green fabric and pink heels.
The left of the frame has "June 14, 1918" written in tiny fonts, the right has "5 cts."
At the bottom, there is a list of writers, it reads " Julian Street- Isaac F. Marcosson- David Lawrence- Everett Rhodes Castle
majory S. Douglas- Ben Ames Williams- Anne Cameron- Julius H. Barnes

Front and back covers for "They were bunkmates: A Marinler Fanzine 2.0"
Left: Front cover by Salty Duane: An illustration in which the characters are posed like the 1948 Bernard D'Andrea commercial painting "The Mating Call". Mariner and Boimler stand in front of their bunks in the lower decks sleeping quarters. Mariner in holding a TOS communicator, which is a reference to the original illustration where the woman is holding a phone. Boimler has his arms around her and they are looking at each other an smiling. In the background, Tendi and Rutherford's heads can be seen peaking out around a corner from the hallway. They are watching Mariner and Boimler.

Right: Back cover bt Foodcu-be: A vintage-stylized parody illustration of 1962 comic cover for “The Twist” by Dell. It features Beckett and Bradward together on a dancefloor filled with the silhouettes of other dancers. Brad has his eyes closed while smiling and Beckett is looking at the viewer. There’s a blue banner in the corner with a white delta on it. At the top of the illustration it reads, “They Were Bunkmates” with sparkles all around the piece.
