Divorced Guy's Star Trek Club

An illustration done this year, one of the worst years of my life. I am going through an extremely painful divorce, and have two close male friends; one who is recently divorced, and the other, in the process of getting divorced. We all share a love of Star Trek, which we bonded over years ago, watch together, and which has been a welcome refuge from all the crap going on in our lives.
The idea is based on a photo taken of me siting in the captain's chair on the bridge of the Enterprise, at the official Star Trek Original Series Set Tour, in Ticonderoga New York. https://www.startrektour.com/,  which was one of the happiest days of my life. Ironically, I went with my soon to be ex-wife, who took the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made the above sticker with the final artwork in Adobe Illustrator with "Divorced Guy's Star Trek Club" and more importantly "To Boldly Go".
I have not been producing much artwork this year, as like a lot of people, my stress levels have been high, and my mental health has not been great, but I am very proud of the fact that I was able to bang this out, in spite of how I feel, and that I have not lost my sense of humor. 

The final artwork is 7.5" x 7.5" and was done in Prismacolor marker, and colored pencil on Bristol board.
