If you know the answer to the above…then do I have a quiz for you. Some were tougher than I thought.
When Gene Roddenberry created the TV series Star Trek, the suits at NBC had some advice: “Lose the Martian.”
Very interesting read. The late 60’s were a turbulent time here in the U.S. and you could see that played out in social interaction on shows of that time. One such show was Star Trek. A fascinating article over at NPR digs into the character of Spock from that series.
Well my crappy scanner won’t let me do much but I was able to get this in before I started cussing.
It’s 30 years since the first Star Wars action figures were released – a staple of any happy 1980s childhood. To celebrate, here is our list of the top ten Star Wars collectibles, from the vintage and rare to new items that should climb in value.

Nick Cook, a 38-year-old nurse, is the producer of The Stone Unturned and the other films made by Intrepid Productions. He answers the door to his home and leads me to the kitchen where his wife, Lucita Faria, 33, is applying green and yellow make-up to the pointed rubber ears of David Reid, a 36-year-old student accommodation manager from St Andrews. Reid explains that he is playing a character who is half-human, half-Romulan. He has a brown blanket swept over one shoulder and pinned in place with a nice brooch. His Spockish eyebrows give him a wry look.

Saturday night me and the family went to Sonic “The burger joint” and we sat outside. For some reason I was thinking about G-Force, a cartoon from my childhood that I was really inspired by artistically. So I sketched this little Gatchaman inspired helmet from what I could remember. My scanner seems to be doing better…not perfect…but I think I’m getting it.
I think I will do a series of space helmet sketches…some inspired by existing and some I may just fabricate.
