It's Star Trek Day! To celebrate, here is the eighth cast piece illustration I've created for my collection. I've done The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and most recently (yesterday) Discovery. Which leaves The Animated Series, Prodigy, Picard, the Kelvin universe, and the upcoming Academy series left for me to do. Happy Star Trek Day, folks. I'll include the other cast pieces below, too, just so y'all can check 'em out.

Accidentally fell into a Lorca-shaped art spiral today so here’s a style study 💀✨

Rose thorn, snow burn, tree gap, poppy flower.

What is it to bloom if not an act of violent exposure?

The rose leaned closer. Its petals parted, wet with thaw and wanting.

What is desire if not a breath held trembling before confession?

The bees inside my ribs beat themselves into a frenzy. The queen had found her dark honey.

"Paint me a heaven of love with your bloodied mouth."

(Federico García Lorca, from “Cantos nuevos,” Collected Poems)

A break in the clouds reveals a crescent moon. Astronomische Bilder. 1881. Book cover, detail.

“In the healing of that wound, which never closes, lies the invented, strange qualities of a man’s work.” ~ Lorca
