I’ve rewatched “Brothers” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 3) and after one episode about the family, they decided to make another one right away, but make it creepier. (Spoilers!) Behold: three Brents Spiner in the same scene (not in the same shot, though). Yes, this episode is about Doctor Soong, Data and Lore. Doctor Soong is dying and so he “summons” Data (makes him come to him so that he loses any free will) in a very inconvenient time for Enterprise, because he made him a chip of emotions (oh, this bad boy is going to play its role later). Unfortunately, Lore was also summoned (to his luck, he was reassembled) and now wants revenge. He secretly turns Data off and takes his uniform, so h gets the chip (which he doesn’t need and which can hurt him) and kills doctor Soong. Data says goodbyes to his father and thinks if he can ever forgive his brother.

I’m excited to announce that there’s a brand-new GOLD FOIL art print in my online shops!
This 11"x14" print was created from my recently completed Third Eye illustration, which was the third and final piece in my Golden Flowers series. As you can see from the photos, the foil is so reflective, I couldn’t avoid my camera appearing in every single shot.
You can purchase the new print, plus original art, comics, and more in either of my online shops:
Here’s a photo of that big, 19”x24” illustration I’ve been working on. I’ll take better photos and some videos of the gold ink after a few touch ups, but I’d say it’s just about done * *

Shogo Chikaishi is an unhappy young man. He has no idea who his birth father was, and his mother supported them by inviting a string of horny men to her bed. She had little love to spare for her child, who often got in the way of getting her customers to part with their cash. Sometimes he even glimpsed moments of his mother and her clients making the…
“As their numbers grew, advertisements began targeting androids. The cryptic television commercials were just flashes of static. We eventually decoded the messages.

“Extrapolate emotions from our data sets.”
