Lex Luthor (in the visual likeness of classic actor Yul Brynner) glares out of his penthouse window in reflection up at Superman (in the visual likeness of classic actor Cary Grant) who looks down upon him with his arms crossed and a judgemental look on his face. Superman’s cape flows in the wind around him as he floats and Luthor wears a brown business suit with a gold tie. The city of Metropolis looks behind Superman with the Daily Planet building being particularly of note, with a blue sky filled with fluffy clouds beyond. Gum, a character from the video game Jet Set Radio Future, poses with one foot propped up on the screen, her elbow draped over her knee, and her other hand shielding her eyes from the sun. She wears a pair of futuristic inline roller skates, a sun dress adorned with her name in katakana, wrist bands, a choker, and an old-timey crash helmet. She is blonde with dark eyes and is framed all around by fluffy white clouds in the blue sky stretching as far as the eye can see. A test comic page for a short comic titled “Space Ghost: Host No More.” Digital illustration in the style of the classic 60’s Space Ghost cartoon mixed with the psychadelic additions circa Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Cartoon Planet. Space Ghost breaks through a wall to find Brak left behind by the other villains for not being evil enough anymore. Brak accuses him of coming to ruin his fun and throws a vial of a suspicious liquid into his chest, to no avail. A black and white digital painting of Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation dressed as his Holodeck counterpart, hard boiled 1940’s detective Dixon Hill. He wears a classic detective’s outfit of fedora, overcoat, suit and tie. He’s illuminated by a light source coming through Venetian blinds off screen in a mostly black dark room otherwise. “The Big Goodbye by Tracy Torme”, the title of both the episode this is homaging and the fictional book the episode is based on, resides to the right of Picard in stylized lettering.

I want pretentiousness back, man. The alternative now is some of the dumbest, most boring, most uncreative assholes just viciously tearing down anyone who finds meaning in literally ANYthing, so I’ll take people having their head up their ass again please.

A truly obsessive resource of accurately drawn symbols from the Star Trek universe…

This is a joke for so few people that it borders on surreal

“May god watch over us and bless us, all of Boletaria. Embasa brand jalapeños…”
Embasa brand jarred jalapeños. The brand kinda sounds like “Umbasa” and that’s the whole joke. I should be sorry but I’m not. Saint Urbain from Demon’s Souls for the PS3 (fuck the remake) kneeling on the ground probably ending every sentence with “Umbasa”

Game of the Year, eh? I think we ALLLLL know who deserves the big banana this year
Digital illustration in the style of a manga panel of Donkey Kong flexing powerfully. DK is wearing his trademark tie along with a pair of pants with suspenders holding them up and gritting his teeth as he flexes up towards the viewer. Action lines radiate from him as well as gigantic kanji sound effects which read something like “BAM” or “POW” in English, probably. Art by me!

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

A lot it turns out but this one is a hilarious parody of 90% of the others and I love it so

I’m too dumb and stubborn to give up my childhood dream of making comic books for a living no matter how long it’s taken and how much stuff goes fully wrong.

For years I've had this idea for a pulp vigilante based on the Mothman and I think I've FINALLY settled on a design for him.

Is he just a ripoff of The Sandman and The Shadow with some cryptid shit thrown in? I'll never tell~
Digital sketch of a man leaning to one side and holding a revolver down by his hip. He's thin but wearing a very heavy wide cloak with a fur mantle over his body drawn tight with a chain. His face is hidden by a gas mask with red eye lenses and a slouched fedora that matches the color of his double-breasted suit jacket and jodhpurs, which are tucked into a pair of riding boots. He's The Mothman, but not like the big bug monster, just a pulp comic book vigilante inspired by it. (ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL by me, Jeff Pennington)

Data gets in the strangest of positions to lay on us sometimes
My cat Data laying in a weird position to wrap partway around my arm while I’m laying in bed on my phone. Our overhead light makes it all look like a much older phone took this photo

Happy Star Trek Day everybody!! #StarTrek

Here’s some digital paintings of mine to celebrate my endless love for these space voyages

Also check out my funny Star Trek podcast @mclasspodcast.bsky.social it’s good I hear
Digital painting and design piece based on the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode “Little Green Men.” Quark, a Ferengi with large ears, sharp teeth, and an extremely gaudy patterned suit, is pointing his death ray (index finger) at a human woman in a 1940’s style military uniform with curly hair and a terrified look on her face. An overlay features text in the style of a 50’s sci-fi B-movie, featuring a logo which reads “Little Green Men” in shocking text over a glowing green Earth and under a small green UFO. Text in the bottom right list the major player actors of the DS9 episode in the style of a classic movie poster. A black and white digital painting of Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation dressed as his Holodeck counterpart, hard boiled 1940’s detective Dixon Hill. He wears a classic detective’s outfit of fedora, overcoat, suit and tie. He’s illuminated by a light source coming through Venetian blinds off screen in a mostly black dark room otherwise. “The Big Goodbye by Tracy Torme”, the title of both the episode this is homaging and the fictional book the episode is based on, resides to the right of Picard in stylized lettering. Captain Sisko of Star Trek Deep Space Nine as the 1950’s science fiction writer Benny Russell, with the ghostly presence of the actual Sisko hovering contemplating over his shoulder. Russell wears a fedora, gold rimmed glasses, and a suit and tie and has a look of disbelief on his face. His right glasses lense has the reflection of the space station Deep Space Nine covering it. Digital portrait of Ensign Ro, a Bajoran Starfleet Officer from Star Trek: The Next Generation. She stands in front of a deep red background with a shadow iris at its edges wearing a red command branch Starfleet uniform with a single Ensign’s pip. The M-Class Podcast logo resides in the upper right over her shoulder with a single stripe of black beneath along with the episode name “Ensign Ro.” Artwork created by Jeff Pennington for use as episode art for M-Class Podcast’s review of “Ensign Ro.”

And to further prove it: here’s four more of my digital paintings!

Star Trek is my truest fan love
Digital illustration of Sarek, father of Spock, and his second wife Perrin based on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Sarek.” Perrin is leaning into Sarek’s shoulder, with her hand comfortingly and strengtheningly placed on top of it. Sarek states as stoically as he can manage into the distance but he looks uncomfortable and a glint in his eye betrays his loss of control of his emotions due to Bandii Syndrome. They are both focused in a spotlight which only illuminates Perrin’s face, Sarek is hiding in shadow. Digital illustration used for episode art for M-Class Podcasts review of the Star Trek: Deep Space episode “The Wire.” Garak, a plain and simple tailor and Cardassian, faces down Doctor Julian Bashir, Chief medical officer and human, in front of a starry space port under bright, scrutinizing lights. Garak looks desperate and pained and Bashir wide-eyed and unsure. Digital illustration of Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is smiling almost manically with his head leaning forward and his index finger raised in recrimination. His eyebrows are raised and his hair slicked back, with his early seasons uniform creased up around his shoulders. He stands on a bright background of magenta covered in darker purplish benday dots. Digital illustration based on the television series “Star Trek: Picard” from speculation before it aired. Captain (now retired Admiral) Jean-Luc Picard stares off into the distance beyond the piece with a stern look on his features, dressed in civilian clothing with high collars. He retains a red glow to his pupil which implies the existence of Locutus still within him. Locutus of Borg, the captured and brainwashed form of Jean-Luc Picard that was forced to lead The Borg incursion on Federation space during the bloody battle of Wolf 359 looms large beyobd him, melding into the darkness which is sweeping across space in the background. Locutus shares the same red glow in his blank eyes to connect the two of them forever.
