FArFri: The Trouble with Tribbles (amigurumi) by bandotako

All I want for Christmas is a Spock amigurumi  by artist (Kristel) on DeviantArt!  Making delightful amigurumi  characters is just one of her artistic talents!  Her Spock is perfect! Love the Tribbles!

I wish I knew how to knit, I’d make the whole crew and all the original glamorous aliens to boot!

Spock sight gag on The Simpsons

I just got a chance to catch last Sunday’s new (Christmas themed) episode of The Simpsons– and in a parody of a bad Christmas game, an evil snowman was slashing up a video display of bad Christmas specials!   Note our Vulcan pal on the left! (Actually, I think that Jingle Bell Spock would make a great special!) 😀

FArFri- “Teddy with Fangs” by natnatTOS

I bet a lot of  little kids want a dog or cat for Christmas — But Spock was just as happy with his Sehlot!  A sweet piece by natnatTOS on DeviantArt.

Toon Time — ‘Dress Rehearsal’

Spock surely finds this situation “a puzzlement”.  I’d just say it’s fair play!

My Weekly Spock – Spock’s ‘Primitive Sexuality’ Revealed!!

Hey Kids,

Remember a while back when I re-colored and edited an old article from the 60’s about The Primitive Sex Appeal of Dr. Spock? Well, if you don’t, Here’s the link.  As you may recall, I flipped the picture, fixed the color and changed the lettering to reflect Spock’s correct title (for as we know, Spock was not a pediatrician!) I was so frustrated that I couldn’t find the rest of that article.  But now, to my delight and for your enjoyment, the genius behind the tumblr blog “Beyond Spock” has found the rest of the article, that I now present here, complete with my corrected front page! The psychologist, Dr. Carol Hofburnham,  credits Nimoy’s performance for part of Spock’s magnetism, but credits most of it to  Spock’s unconscious roots in Beowulf, Sir Lancelot, and the  Satyr.  (We all know better, of course.) Enjoy!

FArFri: A “Trek” take on Lautrec.

This is just marvelous.  The artist matsutakedo on Deviant Art recreated the famous Toulouse Latrec’s poster of Divan Japonais into this surreal but quaint version of Spock Prime with young Kirk and Spock!  Amazing how well Spock’s image fits into the personage of the madam! Seems appropriate, after all, the artist’s name was Lautrec! 😉

FArFri – Real Men Fear Not-by shazam26

Kirk__Spock__McCoy___REAL_MEN_by_shazam26I thought this was pretty funny — See, even the Enterprise Men need a little sprucing up in the morning to retain their fabulous-ness!   As the artist describes on DeviantArt:

“Real men fear NOTHING.NOT EVEN PRETTINESS.

Ehem.
Ihavewantedtodothisforfartoolong.

(The boys of the Enterprise would like to offer a friendly reminder: that although they get up rather early in the morning to perfect their hairstyles, get on their make up, and enjoy their share of flamboyant attire, they’ll still boss you around, make you feel supid and then kick your ass- be it a spine punch, a neck pinch… or a good old fashioned hypo. You have been warned.”

This also reminds me of a scene from a famous blooper reel where De, Bill, Leonard and James pretended to shave with their phasers!  Have a nice weekend , Everyone!

FArFri: ‘Mr. Spock’ by Crazzity

For this week’s Fan Art Friday, here’s a great, dynamic piece by young artist Crazitty on Deviant Art. The hands , facial expression and shadow are particularly intense.   Crazzity is only 19, and from Sweden. I am always amazed and delighted that these original Trek Characters still create an artistic buzz nearly 50 years later! I hope we’ll see much more from this talented artist!mr__spock_by_crazzity-d6rg210

Toon Tuesday – “Halloween Leftovers”

Poor Janice Rand! She just can’t catch a break!  I started on this last week, but didn’t finish it ’til today!  Hope you had a nice Halloween!Halloween Leftovers

Toon Tuesday “Flirt”

After going through all those costume pictures yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice how often Nimoy was caught with impish, slightly flirty looks on his face, hence my inspiration here…

Flirt

There’s an awful lot of stills of Kirk looking at Spock with great admiration too, yeah, I think Kirk found Spock cute too…thereturnofthearchonshd676 🙂 (can’t blame him there)
