Awesome, I haven’t met him but he seems super cool! I love Bonnie! I’ve only set up at 3 Trek conventions as a Pro but she’s always there and we try to hang out when we can (she’s also from Louisiana). I drew her and her bf as Orions in Lower Decks issue 9

Not familiar with it but the folks involved are all cool. Plus distracting from current terribleness sounds amazing right about now 😒

Love her so much, Denise rules!

Oh yeah this was done a couple of months ago, comic book work has to be done well in advance to account for distributor solicits, printing and shipping. Plus to give the Colorist and Letterer time to work their magic

Thanks a bunch, that means a lot to me! I don’t normally do commissions at a con due to time and comfort but if you’re ever looking for a commission feel free to message me. Most of my cons are local-ish (New Orleans area) if you’re nearby.

I feel the same way. But much like the movie upon which this is based, sad that it was the last TOS movie but man what a way to go! I’m so glad you like it and so grateful for all of your cheerleading for this book

Haha yes! Or maybe she’s cloaked because she’s revealed to be a Romulan spy! #FakeSpoilers

Nah you’re right, I was gonna post a zoom in pic of her in Rutherford’s eyeball looking evil like Sybok near the end of Final Frontier lol

It used to be one of my least favorite classes but after drawing it for this book I’ve really come to love it! Refit Constitution is still my all-time favorite but Ambassador class is so super cool. I even bought an Eaglemoss of it so I can play with and display it, haha!

(2/4)This is the final part of a 6-issue story arc that has an amazing balance of Lower Decks funny and Star Trek action. If you haven’t read it, go pick up Issue 13 where the story starts (Issue 15 just came out last week).
