Karl Urban and Chris Pine as McCoy and Kirk Last time I fully meant to mention my trip to the theater with the family to see the new Star Trek film but ran out of room and time. All of us were thoroughly delighted with the film. The consensus is that this is a "must buy" when it comes out on DVD. Paramount must certainly be enjoying the results of this film as the box office receipts have been excellent. There was only one element that brought any dissent at our house, and that was (SPOILER ALERT!) the romance between Spock and Uhura. I didn't have a problem with it, but my daughter said it didn't feel right. I see her point, but it made for some interesting depth to Spock's character and emphasized Sarek's statement about Spock's mother near the end of the film.
Simon Pegg (Scotty) Undoubtedly my favorite character in the film was Scotty, as played by Simon Pegg. Some real interesting depth to the character that it will be fun to see them build on in future films. The casting was superb for this film as all the actors seemed fitting for their roles and in addition made these famous characters their own. The story was good, though after reflection I have a few questions that will probably be answered in the novelization.
John Cho as Sulu So, four sets of thumbs WAY up for this one. If you haven't seen it-- Why? ;)
Zachary Quinto as Spock Sherlock Holmes: Here are the last three Sherlock Holmes illustrations for the Airship 27 anthology book that has just gone to the proofreader.
And finally, here's a small illustration for the bottom of the Contents page to dress it up a bit:
I hope that whets your appetite for this book as it is well deserving of a read. The stories are in keeping with A. Conan Doyle's in setting and atmosphere as well as intrigue. If you're a Sherlock Holmes fan you'll definately enjoy this book. Once it is complete and on its way to the printer I'll post the cover here for all to see. It should be a real joy as cover artist Mark Maddox is a huge Holmes fan and has promised a look that should knock everyone's socks off! I can't wait to see it and share it. (if you're interested in the Robert Downey Jr. Holmes film coming out this Winter here's a link to the trailer on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUQbmFAE5WI) Next time hopefully some more Robyn of Sherwood pages and the cover of Mr. Jigsaw #4 (which is a real beauty!). More as it develops. Saturday, June 6, 2009 Just a quick update to let you loyal readers know I'm working hard to make updates here more frequent and regular. There will be interruptions as vacations and family outings take me away from the studio on those days that I have scheduled updates but I have it planned to do this bi-weekly. This is an o ff week, but I had a couple of moments to make this first-of-the-month update. The following are some of the Holmes illustrations I finished up since my last post.
More as it develops...
