This is a little Photoshop or Gimp (I can't remember) exercise I did, which became the pub sign for the slightly eccentric Google+ Community of the same name.

Deep Space Nine on Acid 3

The DS9 experiment, is quite a big step away from what I "usually"do, in the sense that I worked in a totally different style, with materials I abandoned long ago. The reason for this, is that it originated as an assignment I made during my internship as an an art teacher at a high school. De assignment was: "Make a illustration about your favorite TV show or movie."

However when I examined how the kids could go about it, I came to the conclusion that the materials available to them, were the ones, I never worked with. Especially, gouache which I hadn't touched in twenty years. So, I decided to do the assignment myself first, to see how well I would do.

I chose Deep Space Nine as subject, because I always quite liked it. Then I thought it might be nice to merge it with a comic style, and since it was an American series Jack Kirby seemed a nice choice.

The result of Kirby's semi psychedelic silver surfer style, fused with the often nightmarish struggles of Major Kira, kind of led to this Deep Space nine on Acid concept.

I'm a slow worker and those dots took me ages.

However, after all is said and done, gouache still sucks, and it's the last time I'll use that. Fine liners aren't really my thing. But the old dip pen & ink, made a spectacular come back.

Anyway, this was a one off, and I thought it might make a nice addition.
