1 year ago today I posted this & found the twitter
#StarTrek
community, or maybe I should say it found me (you took me from 360 to 3300 followers after 15 years on this app)! You’ve changed my life with your friendship & INCREDIBLE support of my artwork. I am SO grateful.🙏❤️🖖
So thrilled to show you all my completed Far Beyond the Stars oil painting!! I’m so happy with the final result, especially that shirt! Such an incredibly special project.

This queen took the helm of the Enterprise D saucer section after it was knocked out of orbit of Veridian III, and LANDED IT safely on the planet with zero fatalities, gently enough that it was still salvageable for future use.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
#StarTrekPicard
There’s a lot of things I love about this shot of Geordi- but the mini Zephram Cochrane statue on his desk really tops the list. “You told him about the statue?”
#StarTrekPicard
✨ It was perfect. ✨
I didn’t know how much I needed this.
The past ten weeks have been so amazing; watching these episodes as a giant community is something that, as a teenage TNG fan in the 90s, I never thought I’d experience. I’m so grateful.

Why are studios able to get a tax break for intentionally making their content inaccessible to the public? It’s like running a shoe store & hiding all your inventory from your customers- then claiming a loss of revenue because “no one is buying anything”
#SaveStarTrekProdigy
Okay this painting is finally feeling like it’s coming together after two days of wrestling with the Bajoran wormhole… home stretch now!!!

Beneath this calm exterior, I’m freaking out!!! I’m going to STLV tomorrow, I just finished this painting that I love so much my heart hurts, plus it’s my birthday on Friday! If you’re at STLV, keep an eye out for me wearing variations of this shirt, and come say hi!!!! 🤩🥰🖖🎨
40 years from now, Zehram Cochrane and Deanna Troi are doing tequila shots in Bozeman. Happy First Contact Eve, Trek family!!

#FirstContactDay
is about celebrating the possibility of humanity getting its collective self together and continually working -individually & collectively-to be something better. It’s what
@StarTrek
is about too- and why I’ve loved it my whole life.

My second contribution to
#30x30DS9
, celebrating 30 years of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, is this oil painting of a pivotal moment from the episode “Far Beyond the Stars”, which I was so proud to be commissioned to paint this year.

#StarTrekDS9
We said goodbye to the TNG crew 30 YEARS ago & it’s been 20 YEARS since the movies. It’s a goddamn MIRACLE that the
#StarTrekPicard
TNG reunion is even happening. The creators love them just as much as we do (ALL OF THEM- Troi too!!). For the love of Spock, THEY’VE GOT THIS.
Watching this scene for the first time remains one of my core memories, and this piece means more to me than anything else I have painted.
#StarTrekPicard
#StarTrekLegacy
Happy Birthday
#StarTrekDS9
- I’ve got another DS9 oil painting to do this year and I’m so excited to have another opportunity to celebrate this truly amazing series. 🥃🖖
#StarTrek
DS9’s groundbreaking “In the Pale Moonlight” aired 25 years ago TODAY! One of the greatest episodes in
#StarTrek
history and one of the greatest performances by Avery Brooks. And I happen to have a painting to celebrate it!
#StarTrekLegacy
Sitting here trying to pull myself together after Ep.8 - I know the team didn’t make this show just for me, but god damn it certainly feels that way, especially today. My heart is bursting, and I am so, so grateful.
#StarTrekPicard
The idea that a couple who has been together for decades, & left Starfleet to move to a backwater planet for their children, might (upon finding themselves empty-nesters on said planet) make some jokes about the situation seems … pretty reasonable to me?
#StarTrekPicard
Holy smokes you guys, you’ve sold out my pre-order run of DS9 prints! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🤯🥹🙏
More prints WILL be available June 1st, I promise!!! 🥰🖖 To be notified when print orders open again, sign up for my monthly newsletter here:

It’s Defiant week in the studio and I’ve got a painting update!! Prints of this piece will be available - you can sign up for my monthly newsletter (🔗 in my 🅱️i0) to be notified when print pre-orders drop in a couple of weeks!

#StarTrek
Thought I’d share this again as there are some new faces around here! I’m an oil painter, and I make paintings of all kinds of characters and moments from pop culture- but
#StarTrek
is my wheelhouse. 🥰🖖
Words are insufficient to describe what “The Last Generation” (and all of
#StarTrekPicard
S3) means to me…
@TerryMatalas
and the team he built caught lightning in a bottle, and it gave me something I didn’t know I needed. As always, in lieu of words, I made a painting. 🙏🖖❤️
If you’re fully restoring a classic car, you restore it to how it looked in its prime… you don’t keep the giant spoiler and ground effects the last owner added because he thought it made it look more badass.

After crying for 52 minutes straight, I just started up again thinking about 14 year-old me sobbing, broken-hearted after “All Good Things…” ended. I wish I could go back and tell her what’s coming- she just needs to be patient. I am so grateful for
#StarTrekPicard
-what a gift.
ALMOST THERE!! One last step is painting all those stars- in the end only a few of them (if any!) will be true white… but they’re going to GLOW! Going to let the dark of the void of space dry a bit overnight to make the process easier tomorrow. SO excited!!!!! 🤩✨🖖
Here’s a little update on my DS9 oil painting! Almost time to install those triangular metallic Cardassian thingies! For scale, the whole painting is 18x36”, so the station is a little under 18” high here. A lot of detail in a small space!! 😅🖖✨
#StarTrek
#StarTrekDS9
I never got over the crash and abandonment of the D- it felt like a death that no one properly mourned. To see it fly again- to know Geordi, like me, saw a wrong that needed righting- meant more than I can say. It healed a wound I didn’t know needed healing. 🥹

BTW if you follow me on IG there’s more art and slightly less yelling about Star Trek (I’m
@jennyrjohnsonart
over there)… but anyway speaking of art, here’s my Ellen Ripley oil painting for no reason other than she’s awesome.
✨Prints available NOW!! ✨
I’m so in love with this painting, and I’m so excited to share it with you all! The
#StarTrekPicard
love is still going strong!! ❤️🖖
#StarTrekLegacy
Given all this
#StarTrekLegacy
talk I thought it was a good time to feature my
#StarTrekPicard
“The Stars Have Always Been in My Favour…” oil painting again! Still one of my favourite paintings EVER, and watching weekly with you all this year was a such a gift… ❤️🙏🖖
Getting closer! Doing a marathon painting session tomorrow on my “Far Beyond the Stars” Star Trek DS9 oil painting; fingers crossed I’ll be close to the finish line! In the meantime, an update!
#startrekfanart
#StarTrek
I felt, many times, while I watched
#StarTrekPicard
that this season had been made specifically for me. One of the revelations for me this season has been understanding that I’m not alone in my profound feelings about this show and these characters & I’m so grateful.
#StarTrekPicard
has already given us so much from the TNG crew that we never got to see before & they’ve gotten the gang back together organically. By the time they’re all sitting around this table the story will have earned that moment. They’ve GOT this, folks.
#StarTrekLegacy
19 years since “33” first premiered!! One of my favourite episodes of TV ever! What’s your favourite BSG episode?
Prints of this oil painting are available in my shop! 🎨
I haven’t shared this one in a while… and turns out it’s been 20 years since the premiere of BSG, so that’s kind of wild. The whole cast was stellar, but my personal belief is that
@trutriciahelfer
‘s performance(s) were the lynchpin for the series.
#battlestargalactica
Happy 26th Anniversary to
#StarTrekDS9
‘s astounding episode “Far Beyond the Stars”- so proud I had the opportunity to create this oil painting for a wonderful collector!!

Another update of my Far Beyond the Stars oil painting in progress… looking forward to finishing up the left side so that reflection really pops! 🥰🎨🖖

#startrekfanart
I’ve talked a lot about what this moment means to me, and why I painted it, back when I thought this was the last time we would see this family truly together. I can’t quite express how excited I am to get the chance to paint an update… 🃏🖖✨🎨
#StarTrekPicard
#StarTrekLegacy
Left you all on a bit of a cliffhanger there… 😉. I wonder how it all turns out?
My BOBW Battle Bridge Riker oil painting is finished, and Riker is ready to kick some Borg ass!!
#StarTrek
@alexandertperry
you will definitely find this of interest. 🤩🥰🖖
This recognition for this cast, this FAMILY, means more to me than I can say. They have been my touchstone for more than 30 years, and I am absolutely overjoyed to see them honored for their work- and for their legacy.

It’s

#StarTrek
means to me. 🖖❤️✨
#StarTrekDay2022
Today is the 30th Anniversary of the TNG finale, “All Good Things…” and no episode of any show has meant as much to me- which is why it was so important to me to paint it.
I discovered
#StarTrekTNG
at a time when I was in serious need of some hope…
A couple more days’ work here- hands, some more LCARS detail (oh I can’t wait to light them up!!), and bringing the colour of Riker’s uniform more in line with the light on the Battle Bridge. This is getting more fun every day. 🤩🔥🎨
#StarTrek
You all are really lovely, you know that? 🥹❤️🖖 Okay! More Trek art incoming! Still pretty obsessed with this painting, particularly since it features one of Riker’s most badass moments (pre-asteroid-throwing, of course)…

Now watching STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, which is arguably the most underrated big franchise sequel I can think of. Nick Meyer just gets it.
Just another “hit me up on IG & 🔵sky if things go sideways here” post (I’m @ jennyrjohnsonart there, and on TikTok too! ) - I love the Trek community we’ve got here and don’t want to lose you all! 🥰🖖
We’re back online! This is a great time to remind you all that my whole pop culture painting portfolio is on my website, as well as links to my shop, signup for my monthly newsletter, and more info about me and my work! You can find it all here:
I hope folks understand the level of skill that was involved in this work- matching the colour and texture of wood grain from 30 year-old photos, working on that scale… the work the painters did here is astonishing. I’m absolutely in awe.
#StarTrekPicard
Unsung heroes: painters Lee Jashinsky and Doug Slayman (and Flip Orefice, supervising paint foreman, not pictured), the best wood grainers I have ever worked with! Look at those rings!
Laris knew. At that point she knew Picard better than just about anyone, and she knew it was goodbye even if he didn’t. And more than that, she’s a mature, beautiful, brilliant woman with a rich, full life… and she’s fine.
#StarTrekPicard
Going to drop a few of my
#StarTrek
paintings here over the next couple of days as a reminder that I offer prints of all my work, and they make great gifts for the Trek fan in your life (or yourself!!). Shop 🔗 is in my b!0!

#StarTrekLegacy
The way the writers have managed to directly anticipate the gripes of the peanut gallery is not only incredibly satisfying to watch unfold, but it also speaks volumes about the amount of care and planning that has gone into this season’s storytelling. Beautiful.

🌟Best of Both Worlds Riker Print Pre-orders Available Now!🌟 (🔗 in my bio!)
For those local to Halifax, Nova Scotia, I’ll also have a limited number of prints available in person at Hal-Con (Oct 27-29) and Christmas at the Forum (Nov 3-5)!!
Just a cheeky little update! My neck is much improved and progress continues on my super detailed Deep Space Nine oil painting- slow and steady (and so many tiny windows!) but I’m really excited how well things are coming together!!!🥰🖖

#StarTrekDS9
I was barely 15 when TNG ended & I’ve been carrying THAT thread in my heart my entire adult life- I’m overwhelmed to see it done such justice in the midst of so much equally intense action. Bravo & thank you to

@UnauthorizedCBD
@TerryMatalas
- just WOW.
#StarTrekPicard
Coming up from my post-flight coma nap and trying to figure out where to even start with my STLV experience- I’m going to have to drop a lot of photos because there isn’t just one that encapsulates it all. This one comes pretty close, though!! 🤩🥹❤️🖖

Okay here’s another one-
#StarTrek
is the cornerstone of my geekdom, and I love ALL the Treks past and present - but
#StarTrekTNG
is home. Watching “All Good Things” with a broken heart as it aired is a core memory for me, and I put those feelings into this painting. 🖖
