In regards to the new episode of #StarTrekSNW , The Benny Russell easter egg was pretty tasteless, and unnecessary.

Happy 60th #StarTrek ! 🖖 Found this on an old hard drive, and I had never posted it before now.

Here's the first of two little things I've made to celebrate 60 years of a television show that became more television shows (plus some movies) and sometimes dropped some nuggets of actual wisdom. Happy #StarTrekDay to all who celebrate. 🖖
A recreation of a classic poster that reads:

All I need to know about life I learned from Star Trek

Below that is an illustration of the original series Enterprise. And below that is a justified list of quotes and aphorisms divided by delta bullet points. The list reads:

• Seek out new life and new civilizations
• Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end
• There’s no such thing as a Vulcan death grip
• Even in fear, you can still step forward
• It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life
• Never trust a planet that looks exactly like Earth
• It’s a long road
• There are four lights!
• The first duty is to the truth
• Go fast!
• When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth
• We are all explorers
• It’s difficult to work in groups when you're omnipotent
• Sometimes, hope is a choice
• Fortune favors the bold
• It’s easy to be a saint in paradise
• Don't believe in no-win scenarios
• We all deserve to belong somewhere
• Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew
• Boldly go where no one has gone before!

Happy #StarTrekDay! Here's to Star Trek: Lower Decks, the show that turned me from a casual Trek viewer into a full on Trekkie. I love vintage things, so I wanted to make a tribute in the style of retro comics, it's the 60th anniversary after all! #StarTrekLowerDecks #lowerdecks #StarTrek
A drawing of the main characters of the show Star Trek: Lower decks in the style of 1960's paper print comics. It looks slightly aged due to the paper texture. From left to right: Lieutenant Junior Grades Beckett Mariner, Brad Boimler, Sam Rutherford, D'Vana Tendi and T'lyn. They have sort of formed a human train walking down the corridor of the USS Cerritos. 
Mariner is closest to the camera, she is pulling Boimler by his arm, which is over her shoulder and smiling, looking back at her friends. Right behind her is Boimler, his right arm over Mariner's shoulder as he's being dragged forward by her. He's looking behind his shoulder and grinning widely as he shouts some thing at Rutherford, Tendi and T'Lyn. Next in line iis Rutherford, who's smiling widely and has a hand on Boimler's shoulder. His left arm is linked with Tendi's right, who is linking her other arm with T'Lyn's and dragging her along. Tendi looks cheery and shouts back at Boimler. At the end of the conga line is T'Lyn, who is being dragged along by T'Lyn. Her expression says she's not against it. T'Lyn is holding a PADD in her left hand, suggesting she was mid work when this impromptu human train formed. They are walking past a large window, and through the glass you can see the passing nebula.

Ethical art is art that treats everyone involved in the process (from materials to production to creative labor) fairly and with respect—not art that adheres to a specific set of content guidelines. Don't confuse genre trappings or marketing buzzwords with the real obligations we have to each other.

Wow I didn’t miss #portfolioday! Here’s some new and old pieces to give you an idea of my vibe, but all the best stuff is at drewshannon.ca.
A scientist with a flashlight is descending down a dark set of stairs shaped like a brainA sweaty girl leaning on the top half of a window with her arms folded in frustration,the bottom of the window shows the reflection of a very hot city street scene with people arguing and looking fatigued, The sun beating down on them all. A film poster for young Frankenstein shows the title in a gothic font below. Above that is a silhouette of a castle while the main part of the composition depicts the main characters front the film in a cartoony style: Igor, Dr. Frankenstein, Frau Blücher, Inga, and The monster. A film poster for “Hundreds of Beavers”. The title and event info are at the bottom, and a host of cartoon beavers are carrying the main character (a man wearing fur, a cartoon coonskin cap, and snowshoes) who is looking panicked.

-ahaha youre not gonna believe this but we had a bit of a data breach
