Artist's Comments
Unknown Date
On parchment paper, this was one of my first sort-of, kind-of more suggestive images. Now we look at it and say, “Pretty tame,” but I remember having to take the original to the only printer in town who I felt might not say anything when I handed it to him. I think those moments were the worst moments of doing K/S art! I would sometimes enlist the help of very brave and fearless friends to take the pictures in for me. As if that mattered! The printer knew exactly whose art it was! Now, nobody blinks. Well, just a little. [1]

Naked, suggestive. Not for the mantelpiece." [2]
1997
Shows semi-nude (rather playful) Kirk and Spock together." [3]
1999
Kirk sits on Spock’s lap and later they will be making mad, passionate love to bring in the New Year. You can show this to your Aunt Millie only after she’s had her eggnog. [4]

I have no idea where the original is. Maybe I should draw this one again! [5]

Love the pose!! A bit different and yet every bit evocative. Is Jim whispering something or is he almost crying? I can’t make out due to the quality (what a tragedy about that, sigh, indeed).[9]
