I was honored when CBS asked me to participate in their "Star Trek: 50 Artists. 50 Years." Art Exhibition. I quickly began to create a piece that would pay a worthy homage to such a great show with such memorable characters.

When Leonard Nimoy, a personal hero of mine, passed away suddenly, this project became so much more poignant to me. But, then when CBS told me that they were featuring my piece next to artwork done by the legendary Nimoy, I was absolutely floored!

"Star Trek: 50 Artists. 50 Years." will debute at the Michael J. Wolf Gallery in San Diego during this summer's San Diego Comic-Con. For more information about the show visit:
