#bandofsketchers prompt today is ‘spine’
I trained as a radiographer so I almost drew a spine from one of my old textbooks. But then I watched Star trek, and remembered the Borg Queen in one of the films, First Contact, so I sketched her.
New paintings and regular art updates.

We will assimilate you…
Photo of a crunchy cat nibble on a cat plate. It just struck me that it looked a bit like a Borg…
The plate was made by PrintRun.co
I think it’s a victorian transfer print that has been repurposed for a modern market. But the image of it with the cat treat just made me chuckle.

I’m a big fan of Star Trek, and one of my favourite characters was Jean Luc Picard from the Next Generation series. I think the actor Patrick Stewart gives the part a great gravitas, although sometimes it can get a little weird.
I don’t have a favourite episode, but I do like the film where the Borg go back in time to an Earth where Zephram Cocheran is about to use warp drive for the first time. I can’t remember what it was called. Something like First Contact. But that’s the title of a Science Fiction film with Jodie Foster, about aliens contacting the Earth. Written by Carl Sagan, so I’m not sure.
This portrait was drawn on the sketchfu website that I used to work on. I think this is about seven years old. I will probably find more of them popping up on my Facebook memories.
