Dork Art: Mondo Returns To Stark Trek


Wow.  I thought Mondo was done with the Star Trek license (their last collaboration was way back in August of 2012 with Todd Slater's The Corbomite Maneuver), but come tomorrow afternoon at some random time they'll be releasing not one, but TWO prints for rabid Trekkies everywhere.  My favorite is the above Matt Taylor print showcasing probably the most iconic Star Trek episode, "Arena."  It doesn't get much more entertaining than William Shatner vs The Gorn Captain, aka the second coolest rubber suited lizard man (even Trek must bow before Godzilla).  The Arena poster measures 20 x 36, is limited to 175 copies, and runs $45.  Good luck scoring one tomorrow; I fear I may have to buckle down and tackle the secondary market for this one.  The other print is from Kevin Dart and involves possibly one of my least favorite episodes, "What Are Little Girls Made Of." No matter how many stone dildos that ep features, I cannot get excited about Nurse Chapel's condescending tone.  The print measures 18 x 24, is limited to 175 copies (varient is 85 copies), and runs $40 (variant is $60).  Hopefully, this is just Mondo gearing up for a second wave of Trek goodies.  I'm still waiting on posters for The Search for Spock & The Final Frontier - come on, you know you want a Tyler Stout "Row Row Row Your Boat."

Dork Art: Star Trek TOS - The Whole Gang!


WOW!  Just WOW!  I've just spent the last ten minutes pouring over this beautiful tribute to The Original Series.  All the characters you love are put out on display, but my favorites have got to be "The Enemy Within" Kirk & his Saurian Brandy, Abraham Lincoln, and that bastard Finnegan.  My hat's off to artist Dusty Abell.  I want this on my wall ASAP.  Essential Star Trek art.

Google Star Trek!


The Trekkies over at Google gifted us with this fun, interactive doodle commemorating the 46th Anniversary of The Original Series.  Check out their homepage and take a trip into one of my favorite Treks, "Arena."  Battle the Gorn & help the Red Shirt survive!

Star Trek vs Star Wars!


Ah.  The Great Debate.  Star Trek or Star Wars.  From the ages of 3-20 I would have said, Star Wars.  But now, post Phantom Menace.  I gotta go with Star Trek.  And since 1999 I've become a full blown Trekkie.  I'm finding my Star Wars love again, but Trek is where it's at.  Kirk & Co.  Space, The Final Frontier.  Set Phasers for Awesome.

IGN put together this fun little video asking Celebrities to choose between the two Dork Franchises and I love each and everyone of the folks who picked Trek.  Tom Hardy & Chris Pine you damn better pick Trek.  But Clark Gregg, Taylor Kitsch, Mila Kunis, Ryan Reynolds--you make me smile.


But at the end of the day, there really is room for both.  Hand in hand.
