Friday already? It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, kids. Thanks for your patience. Here’s a funny Series by artist Jessie Avarian . Spock and the crew puzzle over the human fascination with bacon! I bet even the Vegetarian Vulcan was tempted by its heavenly aroma! I hope he does Kirk gobbling it all up! Jessie’s whole series is available on Etsy here.
Hey Kids,
Sorry I’m late today with this — busy day! This week’s Fan Art is a lovely tribute to Leonard Nimoy by artist Paul Hanley — I like that he presented two sides of Spock, the ever so logical and the softly emotional. I think Leonard would have loved this. Bravo Paul. 🙂
BTW, have you guys donated to Celeste Yarnall’s cancer Fund yet? Please do here and remember to add the words ‘trekkerscrapbook’ in the comment box when you donate – this will help me tally all the donations from this group and when we reach our goal, Celeste will give me an exclusive interview! Please donate today! Thanks, Therese

This delightful characterization by artist Sarah Miele isn’t TOS, but it’s just so wonderful and a lovely tribute to Leonard, I had to post it! I can hear the Italian Food debate going on now!
As Sarah writes in her description:
Like many around the world, I too have not been able to get around the reality that Leonard Nimoy is gone. I suppose it may be because he had been such an icon for so many generations before me that it seemed he would continue to be there. Forever. It’s sad, and now the absence feels strange.
But like so many have quoted “he’s not really dead… as long as we remember him.”And I truly believe in that, which is why, in a way, I still feel he’s here.
This was the piece I had put off for far too long for his fan club, the OLNFC. And upon hearing that he had been hospitalized urged me to finish it. I had hoped it to be in the March edition for his 84th birthday, but life doesn’t always wait around.
Nothing grand, but just one of a few finished pieces. I have a whole bunch of random sketches from many of his movies and I hope to bring some of those out and post them.
It’s probably symbolic that, when I met Leonard Nimoy a few years ago, I was soooo nervous after he signed my book that the only words I could speak were “Thank you.”
Thank you again, Leonard Nimoy, for making us believe, for giving us hope, and for being an inspiration.
Sarah, I couldn’t have said it better. Thank you for this beautiful piece — I bet Mr. Nimoy would have loved it.

Here’s a beautiful watercolor of Spock by Jonathan A. Reincke on Deviant Art. I love the splatter of paint around the edges.

This is probably the tastiest tribute to Leonard Nimoy out there — a pancake meticulously formed to become Mr. Spock! I bet Leonard would have loved this-and ate the whole thing! Excellent work by pancake artist Nathan Shields!

I just came across these on Deviant Art –The first; a perfect blooper study by Pierre-Luc Faubert Mr. Spock-Farewell Leonard Nimoy and the second, Goodbye, Spock by Andrew Hunt, which has the mature Nimoy in the original uniform. These are both so beautiful, I’m sure Mr. Nimoy would have loved them. Excellent work by these two incredibly talented artists!

For this week’s Fan Art, I created what I think would be a much better cover tribute to Leonard for this week’s People Magazine. I think Leonard was short-shifted in memory in the actual magazine cover that looks like this (and to add injury to insult, Kim Kardashian is on the cover,ugh!) For Heaven’s sake People Magazine – what’s up with that???
I was hoping that Entertainment Weekly or even TV Guide would offer a better tribute cover, but no, he’s practically a speck on the cover! (or should I say, barely a Spock?) It’s like he’s an afterthought — for shame! I hope you all complain to them. Here’s hoping they put out a tribute issue (I’m sure they will).
* A FAIR UPDATE: I just got my issue of Entertainment Weekly in the mail, and yes, even though his photo is postage stamp size on the cover, there’s a full page pic of him contents page, a very nice tribute article on pg. 28, and in this week’s Bullseye page, Nimoy is in center with the words “Permission to mourn freely, Sir?” (*sniff!*) They did a good job. I’m sure the other mags have nice tributes too– and I’ll probably post them here too. Sorry I was grouchy, but I’m still glad I made my own version of the People cover!
Here’s the actual three covers for the three magazines:

For this week’s Fan Art, here’s a lovely sunset piece by Johnny Radar, reminding us all to ‘seek out’! Have a warm, restful weekend everyone! 🙂
Friday already? Here’s your weekly dose of good ol’ TOS Fan Art: A beautiful sketch of Captain Kirk (those lashes!) with some of his best known quotes. This was a lovely job by artist dosruby.

Well, I’m not the only one who makes Trek movie-style posters! These three by artist Moira Murphy are fantastic! (and make mine look like chicken feed!) Bravo!
