It's the official newsletter of the IAAA, the International Association of
Astronomical Artists. I edited the initial newsletter, PARALLAX, for the IAAA
about 21 years ago, and I find myself having come full circle, back into
astro and aerospace art. There *is* life after Star Trek.

Before, in between tours, AND after, as it now appears to my eyes. Any
chance you might be talked into dabbling in comic book illustration from
time to time, never mind which title and publisher?

Much appreciated :P

in action poses. Doing a single comic page for me would take an eternity, and
that's time the industry doesn't have. I'm a much better hardware designer.

Hmmm. Sounds like we need to get the Marvel Universe Handbook up and
running again, then.

Well, you don't have to do a whole comic page, in the comics
assembly line the art work is generally divided between penciler
and inker. The ratio of work is negotiable, too; it runs a
spectrum from full pencils -where the inker basically just
chooses line weights and cleans up construction lines- to layouts
or breakdowns -the penciler says, "This stick figure is our
action hero, and that blob over there is a beautiful woman..." I
imagine the money also varies with the amount of work done, all
else being equal.
Of course, in addition to drawing a lot of pictures per page you
also have to make sure each picture does its share of clarifying
and carrying the story, a skill (and no offense intended!) I'm
not sure you have. And, no doubt the pay would not be what
you're used to.
Pity the comics industry seems to have passed out of the phase
that gave us "Gene Roddenberry's Lost Universe" and "Leonard
Nimoy's Primortals." You doing the initial designs for something
like "Rick Sternbach's Space Explorers" would be maximum money
(such as it is) for minimum effort.

It's a real and frustrating shame. The comic book industry is
dying; the pinball industry is collapsed; the space history and Star Trek
models I want aren't being made anymore; Mystery Science Theater 3000 is
cancelled; Star Trek is imploding; animation is being snuffed out; David
Letterman is turning out the same show every day; ham radio is struggling
for survival; and Dave Barry seems to be written by a Perl script lately.
I'm tired of being a fan of dying stuff.
Excuse me, now; I have to get back to my Teach Yourself Latin book.

looks like Pokemon these days, but at least we have the occasional Miyazaki
film to ogle at, and I've got my collection of great anime books from
1985-1995 to go over again and again.
I'm hoping garage kits are still going strong when I get some free time to
haul out the glue and paints again. I've got a good selection of anime and
real space models in the garage, just waiting.
It's really too bad about Trek. Nemesis was an okay film, but nothing like
Wrath of Kahn. That movie had everything clicking right, and why no one can
duplicate the flavor is totally beyond me. *I* could produce that kind of
film, I'll bet. Enterprise is another sad thing; I just have no interest in
it. None. The look is all the same, the tech is the same. I actually get more
out of watching Everwood and SG-1, for goodness sake. Ah well.

Hey oh great one, God of pen and Padd!
I agree Nemesis was er, stale... Even the music sucks... Personally
of the TNG movies Generations & First Contact had the best film scores
Nemesis' is well unmoving... I wish Majel would take back Trek Berman
is killing the franchise.
