A couple of months ago, I finished a piece that featured a Romulan D’Deridex class Warbird. I was really happy with the way the spaceship turned out. But I was never super thrilled with the background. So the other day I decided to go back and create a new background for this piece. This is unusual for me. I’m one of those artists that is always looking forward. Once a piece is finished, I post it and move on–no matter […]

Yes, yes… that “There’s coffee in that nebula” meme has been done to death. But it endures. Mostly because it’s, well, you can relate. I want coffee in the morning. Kathryn Janeway, captain of the starship Voyager wants coffee in the morning. Somehow it makes Janeway a bit more human, a bit less distant–and that’s just perfect for her character. So, here’s Captain Janeway, coffee mug in hand. The background represents the galaxy-spanning voyage she and her crew completed, from Delta […]

“It’s always a game of chess with the Romulans.” — Jean-Luc Picard The Romulan Warbird is one of my all time favorite adversary starship designs. It’s so elegant, so threatening–and entirely Romulan. It looks like it’s smiling at you as it’s powering up it’s disruptors. I wanted the background to echo the subterfuge that Romulans are famous for, so I thought about hiding a planet in a nebula. There’s probably a Romulan base on that planet. Or not. You never […]

Uhura was a character that I always wish received a little more development throughout the original series. I mean, I get that TOS was focused on Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. But a little extra development would have been nice. Even still, Nichelle Nichols did an amazing job in creating the character. I really like the way this piece turned out!

Okay, as I’ve said before on this site, the Enterprise-D is probably my all-time favorite starship. So it was a lot of fun to illustrate this piece of Star Trek fan art! That’s not to say it was a non-stop fun fest. The lifeboats on the Enterprise-D in particular were kind of tricky… and painstaking. But it was worth getting all that detail right in the end! If you like this piece, don’t be shy! Let me know in the […]

This piece I did entirely for fun, so it’s very much inside my comfort zone. But I wanted to create a “starfleet action-y” piece and also highlight a couple of main characters. Tuvok and Janeway seemed like the logical choice. (Ha.) They’ve always had an easy, loyal, compassionate friendship based on mutual respect. And I tried to capture this in the piece. This piece is available from my store as a print, so if you want this hanging on your […]

I’ve always wanted to see more Andorians in the TNG-VOY era of Star Trek. Since not very many of them appeared on screen, I thought I’d draw one! (It’s one of the nice things about being an illustrator.) So, I’m calling this one “An Andorian on an Away Mission.” Try saying that five times fast. 🙂

I always wanted to see the Kelvin Timeline take on the Doomsday Machine. One of the nice things about being an artist and illustrator is that you can, well, take the time to tell your own stories. This version of the Enterprise is based on the refit seen in Star Trek Beyond, which is one of my favorite takes on the design. Making the nacelles smaller, sweeping back the pylons, and increasing the length of the neck really helped to […]

This piece was commissioned by a Star Trek Adventures GM, who wanted a piece of art to commemorate his Star Trek RPG campaign. This piece was challenging, as the four main characters were all in different location–and this all needed to be merged in the final piece. I’m really happy with how this one turned out, and I’m excited to do more Star Trek Adventures commissions in the future!

I was thinking the other day that Captain Janeway and the 13th Doctor would get along splendidly, so I decided to draw it! I imagine the Doctor as exuberant and joyful, and Janeway as patient and kind–but they both immediately recognize the competency and humanity of the other. If you want prints, or you’re interested in commissions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
