Spock Cat Appearance in Another Publication

  

I was so honored when Miss Judy Wilson member of Starfleet an international fan club for Star Trek and editor of the the USS Colombia NCC 2049 ship newsletter asked to feature my Leonard Nimoy cat illustration in the April 2016 issue. I am a Star Trek fan and painted this piece in honor of our beloved actor and character, Spock, he portrayed so well. There are some amazing articles about Leonard Nimoy and more! See information about the ship here: http://www.usscolumbia.net/ncc-2049/ and some screen shots of the newsletter below:
Oh, yeah and one of my favorite Spock scenes. What is your favorite Spock scene?
