A little TMP Bones for your day 🩵

ATTENTION CLASS!! The professor is in the house! But only for half an hour and then he‘ll jump out of his office window, so better be FAST!! 😉

Omg I had the best time painting this. This one has been on my to-do list for a while 😂

The Star Trek page on twitter asked recently about our favourite scenes from Picard season 3. It‘s truly hard to decide, but the one that hit closest to home for me, on a personal level, was Shaw‘s brilliant Wolf 359 monologue. And because I can‘t help myself, I had to paint it too.

I wanted it to be bright and colourful further in the background, but with darkness directly behind his back. Symbolizing that all it would take for him was to turn around to face his demons, and to see that he is running from a darkness that‘s not all he truly is.

Also Todd acted his socks off in this scene. It was just perfect.

Time for some Spock love ❤️🖖🏻

This was so much fun to make, blue is my favourite colour.

Covers I did for upcoming Star Trek comics by IDW Publishing. I‘m having such a "proud mama moment". ❤️

I finally managed to finish my bois. The Ghostbusters mean everything to me and this painting series comes from the heart. ❤️

Aaand here she is. The one and only Commander Seven ❤️

It was a painting I simply had to do - "out of respect" 😌

I absolutely need a Titan spin-off with her ❤️🙏🏻

And another one I forgot to post on here. 😅 I hardly draw in this style these days, but I decided to push through, and what once started as a random doodle is now a finished compilation of some of my favourite Deacon scenes from 12 Monkeys. ❤️

When I watched Deacon‘s scene on Titan, I knew I had to paint it. I had an image in my head but no idea how to realize it. So I spent all day today doodling around and this is what came out. All the hair and detail in the beard took forever. But I hope it was worth it.

It took me forever and two days to finish, but I think it‘s my new favourite painting. A toast to Captain Liam Shaw 🍷🖖🏻

I haven‘t drawn Sailor Moon in so long… She was what got me into drawing as a little kiddo. It was about time. Hope you enjoy looking at this piece as much as I enjoyed making it. ❤️

Well, I guess, hello there again, tumblr! 👋🏻

I migrated to twitter many moons ago, even before the big wave of twittermigration. But before that, I‘ve had some wonderful communities over here, in various fandoms. Some of those people moved with me and are actually still my best friends to this day.

It‘s a bit surreal to think I‘d really come back here fully. For years I‘ve only dumped my art and left again, without checking the timeline or interacting with anybody. It‘s gonna be weird, but I haven‘t forgotten the brilliant times I‘ve had on here and I think it could be that again. I will mourn my twitter community though. And deeply so.

After I went over there, I had my art reach people I never thought I‘d ever talk to - let alone be able to collaborate with! The Trekkies became my home base and I went to conventions for the first time in my life. I was there the first day Discovery aired and kicked off a new era for Star Trek. I‘ve met celebrities, and wildly, a few of them actually became closer friends that I’ve got to work with. It‘s wild to think about it now…

But the only constant in life is change. And progress isn‘t linear, so we keep circling around and may eventually come back to where we started - only to realize that it is not the same anymore because we have changed. I have changed since I left here. I guess the last few years have changed us all…

The people I‘ve met over on twitter, the community we built, it will die once twitter is shut down for real. I‘ve found almost everybody on other platforms, but it‘s all over the place. Many are on Mastodon, me included, but it feels like no site truly fits. I don‘t have pics to post on Insta except my art. And if we‘re all being honest with each other, we were perfect for each other on the right platform, but the people we TRULY let into our lives, apart from casual comments, are maybe a handful. This is not meant to diminish anything. On the contrary. People can become a steady, comfortable presence in our life that will be heartbreakingly missed. Their sound will be missed, the rhythm of comments you established with them. But often it was a piece written for a specific instrument, and once the instrument is taken away, it‘s impossible to play the piece exactly the same somewhere else. And I will mourn that.

So, hello there again, tumblr. It feels like catching up with a relative who moved outta town years ago. Let‘s see what you‘ve been up to and what the future brings. ❤️

I‘m really enjoying The Rings of Power, so I had to draw this precious little bean. My new highlight every week. ❤️

Now that we‘re getting ready for spooky season, I was in the mood to paint some Candy Corn Janeway. 🥰

The Sisko painting from yesterday did not want to be alone. So I gave him some company.

Decided to paint a little Sisko this weekend 🥰❤️

I used to draw this man over 200 times back in my old tumblr days in the SVU and Raúl fandom, and today I decided to revisit that by putting a spin on this wonderful pic of him. My art has evolved so much over the years… Old love, new technique. ❤️

It‘s been a while since my last painting, but I’ve been in the mood for a little Ed Baldwin portrait and it‘s been an utter joy. ❤️
