“We’ve got to risk implosion. We may explode into the biggest fireball this part of the galaxy has seen, but we’ve got to take that one in a million chance.” ~ Captain Kirk in ‘The Naked Time’
In the year 2010, Space Travel was possible. . . . But not very far.
Boldly going where no man has gone before was just a dream. There was no Mars. . . . no Jupiter moons. . . . . no the wannabe planet Pluto.. . . .
Who thought we’d have flying cars by now? Raise your hand. . . . . I know I did.
(Shakes a clenched hand up at an imaginary comic book thought bubble. This jittery phantom of a thought balloon lingered like an electric smoke cloud above my head, with a bit of static like an old lit television, bleed through from an ancient dead channel in a parallel Universe. It was the opening credits of the Jetson’s. . . . .
Starts singing the theme song like a kid again, “Jetson’s meet the Jetson’s” . . . . Coughs…… clears throat . . . . “ pauses….. Quickly looks around to see if anyone is watching while imaginary bubble disappears like a phantom.)
Anyways….. What’s really important is I have a new post to show you today. Something retro. Something new. Something 2010.
It’s my take on a Captain Kirk-like character design. Not exactly Kirk, but I think it has the feeling of that type of character.
Let me know what you think and Tell me how you imagined 2010 as a kid? How did you see your heroes? Any heroes that maybe you came up with when you were kid? Any sketches you wanna share????
Anyways I hope you enjoy. Until next time. . .
Beam me up Scotty!!!
