Are we alone in the Universe? I don’t think so. It would be a mathematical impossibility for the third planet of the system called Sol to be the only rock teeming with life in the vast ocean of the cosmos that surrounds us. Many scientists have touched on this subject over the last seventy years. Who am I to argue with their numerically backed hypothesis?

From me to you this Holiday Season I want to thank everyone for making 2011 an excellent one for The Enterprise Project. It was the year I finally finished this thing!
And lets raise a glass of something green to another productive year. Maybe… just maybe… I might have some new things in mind for 2012. We artists are a fickle mercurial bunch so you never know. Cheers!

The Enterprise NX-01 is not real. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that fact because, when I close my eyes, I can see her and feel her. I know her rivets and her corridors. I can hear the engines thrum and the life support whir in the ducts. I can smell her paint and blue carpeting. In my mind’s eye she exists. But even if it is all a fantasy, like a cardboard ocean moving under a canvas sky, she is real because I believe in her.

Robert Blackman is one of the unsung heroes of modern Trek. His contribution to the Star Trek Universe will be lasting and enduring. But despite his amazing talent and numerous awards, he is tragically unknown to many fans, even though his work is some of the easiest to recognize from the franchise. Who is he? Mr. Blackman is the costume designer.

Let me be honest. This latest schematic almost didn’t make it past the planning stages. Some of the schematics have been tough to pull off but this one was especially difficult. I am not a member of the production team and do not have access to the super secret vault of awesome Trek information. I just have my DVD’s and what I can find on the internet. I am at the mercy of the information I have available, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
I was clearing out some old files on my blogs this morning and realized I haven’t made a post here in a while. That wasn’t intentional. I get busy and forget about things sometimes. And believe me when I say I have been busy. December and January have been rigorous. I don’t really know how February got here so fast.

As we get ready to say farewell to 2010 I wanted to wish everyone a New Year filled with joy and innocence. And before I scurry back into the world of the NX-01 to work on my latest schematic, I wanted to leave you with this little gift… Check it out after the jump.

I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving. Even in these dark times we all have much to be thankful for. I certainly do. I am also very thankful for everyone that this project has brought to my digital doorstep over the last four years. This project would not have been the same without you.
I have something on the way that I hope to post in the next few weeks. Stay tuned. In the interim, eat, drink and be merry!

Remember back in June when I said I would be finished with this project by August? It was a goal I had hoped to keep but the Universe had other ideas. But here I am, with winter almost upon us, and I am finally posting the schematic I was most looking forward to creating, the EV Suits. I guess it is better to be a little late then never.

I would like to introduce the Medical Equipment Schematic… and doing so feels a little sad. You see kids this is the last of the prop schematics. I have finished all the bits and bobs I wanted to render and it feels rather weird knowing that they are all complete. I don’t know if I should have a party or call the undertaker.
