So Much News! Orions! The Prisoner! More Mads! Gorn!

Hellooooo everyone!

Thank you for being so patient! I've been working so hard to get new products up that I haven't been updating, so today's entry is going to be big!

First, I have the new Star Trek Orions Collection up on RedBubble, with more designs coming soon. The "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" design is for an Orion Dabo girl at Quarks in one of the DS9 Pocket Novels who is seen wearing a "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirt. I laughed so hard at that, I decided to make the design so I could make a shirt for myself!

My three "The Prisoner" designs were approved by the brand copyright holder, ITV, and are approved for sale!

I also finally found the original Hannibal and Polar artwork in the larger sizes to upload - rather than just the social media smaller sizes I'd had. So those designs have been updated and added too!  There are also a few new designs added (below the collage.)

Please do keep in mind that because of the blood, bikinis, references to weapons and the occasional (gasp) cigarette - many of these works are labeled "Mature" and you will have to change your RedBubble default view to be able to see them.

Last but not least, I am starting a new collection soon centered around the Gorn!  Here's the first one. I think I'm going to make a "Gorn to be Wild" Gorn Biker Gang collection!

Star Trek Artists: Tips for Getting Your Fan Art Approved by the Brand

One of the abstract Obsidian Order (commissioned) pieces CBS approved on RedBubble.   Another commissioned set of designs approved by CBS this week.   I finally have a handful of artwork that's been approved by CBS for sale on RedBubble! It only took 6 months, but at least now I have a better understanding of what they're looking for, and what they're rejecting. What follows is only slightly above hearsay but it's what I've learned from other Star Trek artists and from representatives at RedBubble and TeePublic (which have now merged.)   I only recently found out a lot of this stuff when RedBubble and TeePublic joined forces. TeePublic reached out to me upload my fanart over there and I asked them what the brands, particularly CBS/Star Trek was looking for. The rep actually gave me some really helpful info that isn't on the Brand Partnership page. Here's the TL;DR if you don't want to read the whole thing: Avoid actors' face...

Why I Can't Delete My Art Off of TeeSpring, but I Wish I Could

I wanted to love TeeSpring, I really did. The art placement dashboard was easy to use and the products described seemed really high quality. They are also one of the few Print-on-Demand sites that offer two-factor authentication, which made me very happy. So I loaded up some art and got started. Within two weeks, I knew this was not going to work out. Here's why. 1. Use our amazing marketing tools - after you prove you don't need our amazing marketing tools. You can't use their marketing tools, or be visible in their marketplace, until you prove you don't need their marketing tools or their marketplace. You have to drive your own sales for some unspecified number before your "Trust Score" is high enough to even appear in the site's search results. Also, they want you to "optimize your listings for search" but you can't use tags. ??? Wait, what now? Like a lot of Print-on-Demand sites (TeeFury, Threadless etc.), TeeSpring let...

Botchok Rules Book of Orion Wisdom is Live on AO3

Botchok Rules - Book of Orion Wisdom is finally posted on AO3 - with cover and some chapter artwork!  The project started as mostly a short book of funny sayings I thought Orions would say about space pirate life. Then it grew into a kind of cultural resource that I hoped might help other fanfiction writers with their Orion world building. It's still short - only about 6,000 words, but now it includes a timeline, a glossary, and a huge resource list (with link) for finding more info about Orions -- a bit about pirates generally because . . . pirates! Here's a look at the contents: 1. Acknowledgments and Disclaimers 2. Introduction   3. Playing by Botchok Rules   4. Piracy and the Orion Syndicate   5. Orions in Business, Bargaining, and Battle   6. Orions on Living and Working in Space 7. On Trust and Reputation 8. Sayings about Enslavement and Freedom   9. Quotes about Orions from non-Orions   10. Sayings about Orion Life and Love   11. A Very Bri...
