“Our Lady of New Frontiers, Nichelle Nichols”

My last painting of 2022, and I wanted it to be a painting carrying me into the new year, a tribute to an amazing and inspirational woman.

Star Trek has been a show I have watched since I was a wee one. I started with TNG as a child, but when I finally watched TOS in college, its impact was undeniable, both today and especially during the time it aired.

Although the famous speech says “final frontier”, Nichelle Nichols was a woman leading the way onto new frontiers, a beacon of hope, resilience and possibility. So that is what I wish to carry with me into the new year.

You’ll be trapped inside that corridor with him forever. At each other’s throats throughout time. Is it such a large price to pay for the safety of two universes?

Star Trek: Voyager 7.02 Imperfection

SEVEN: When a drone is deactivated, its memories continue to reside in the Collective’s consciousness. As long as the hive exists, so will a part of that drone. TORRES: You don’t seem to take much comfort in that. SEVEN: My link to the Collective has been severed for nearly four years. If I die, everything that I have accomplished in that time, everything I achieved as an individual, will be lost. My memories, my experiences. It will be as if they, as if I never existed.

Winter fun for Kirk and Spock …I apologise to Spock for the hat but I have made his other Christmas wish come true and made the captain kiss him ❤️

Kirk trying too hard exactly the right amount

I must reblog…a still pic does not do justice to the sheer amount of combustible flirting this look holds.

Hey! For anyone out there who may have read and enjoyed my post-canon fic Scenes from a Disaster Zone, I am here to tell the audiophiles among y’all that the amazing @jellyfishfire made a podfic of it, and you can find it HERE.

I was sufficiently re-inspired while listening to it that I decided a bonus illustration was in order – so I drew the sleeping arrangements in their shipping crate.
