This is a Spock and Kirk, faces and upper bare shoulders, which is good. The Spock is very realistic and well done. Kirk's face is good, too. In this Shelley has done her feathering in the background that makes it looks as if Kirk has just stuck his thumb in a light socket and his hair is standing straight on end. (Sorry, Shelley, the devil made me type that. But it was a thought of mine at first looking at the picture. My mind is truly twisted--you knew that already!) But in actuality it's the background, making it look as if Kirk isn't really there, except in Spock's memory. I think that's the intention of the piece, but I could be wrong." [1]
Ah, another one of Shelley’s flower pictures! Very nice! This picture just happens to accompany a story that I wrote, and I think it illustrates a particular scene very well. Kirk, with a hint of a STI type uniform on, is thinking of Spock, who is naked. (Of course, you could also argue that it is the other way around, that Spock is thinking of Kirk, but for my purposes....) I love the way the picture is “unfinished” around the edges, the way the lines are drawn up from Kirk’s head and Spock’s hairline draws the viewer’s gaze upward, and imparts a sort of dynamic motion to a picture that otherwise might be more static. Very nice! [2]
