Playful, loving, and from a strange new world, Star Trek Cats is the perfect gift for fans of, well, Star Trek and cats.

Pop Culture Postage – These Are The Postage Stamps We Want

Pop Culture Postage - These Are The Postage Stamps We Want
The USPS has been in financial trouble for a long time now, but if they actually made stamps that looked like this, they would make a fortune selling them to nerds like me and you. These images by Clark Orr are posters, postcards and also the subject of a new art exhibit at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles called Pop Culture Postage. Orr turned some of the most iconic films, TV and comics of all-time into amazing looking, though sadly not real stamps. See the rest here.

Purr-Fect Catwoman Fan Art by Glen Brogan

Purr-Fect Catwoman Fan Art by Glen Brogan
I’m loving the retro style of this Catwoman fan art from artist Glen Brogan. It’s slick, it’s retro, it’s fun. I love how he nailed the look of this feline thief. The second image is the best, where Catwoman is buying some Mr. Freeze themed ice cream from the Penguin. It even has a Joker trash can and some great images of other ice cream flavors which look very familiar.

Star Trek Enterprise NX Refit Exploration Cruiser

Star Trek Enterprise NX Refit Exploration Cruiser
Hold onto your Captain’s chairs Star Trek fans. This is a special treat. This is a conceptual refit of the NX-01 starship in Star Trek Enterprise. It was designed by Doug Drexler and had the show gone on to a fifth season, this ship may have become a reality. The idea is that this ship is a bridge between the original NX-01 and the classic TOS Constitution class. And boy did Doug knock it out of the park! You can explore this ship from every possible angle below.

You know, I often complain that in its later years, Trek got lazy with many of its ship designs. Not all. There were still some neat ships, but at a certain point they started to feel really uninspired. The NX-01 is not bad for what it is. Now that I’ve seen this amazing starship, I really wish they had started that series with this ship. It is a real stunner. You can tell it was designed by a Trek veteran. It has all of the right visual cues that push my buttons as a long time fan. I’m gonna stop gushing now, but I fully admit that I am in love with this ship. Check it out. I’m gonna admire it some more myself.

Thomas Marrone did an amazing job creating this 3D model.
