If Only is an illo by Shelley Butler.
From the Artist
Sometimes I hold on to a film clip or photo for a long time until I feel like creating something from it. This is a clip from one of the episodes that really spoke to me. You can see Spock’s body language so clearly—he certainly has his hands clasped behind his back in that familiar and respectful pose. But the look on his face belies his calm posture — he’s staring intently at Kirk — with a hint of sadness. Kirk is distracted and doesn’t seem aware that Spock is looking at him. There’s only an original of this so far because I had to have it ready for Shore Leave and we all know how soon in advance I get started…. Right. [1]
