Happy Star Trek Day everybody!! #StarTrek

Here’s some digital paintings of mine to celebrate my endless love for these space voyages

Also check out my funny Star Trek podcast @mclasspodcast.bsky.social it’s good I hear
Digital painting and design piece based on the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode “Little Green Men.” Quark, a Ferengi with large ears, sharp teeth, and an extremely gaudy patterned suit, is pointing his death ray (index finger) at a human woman in a 1940’s style military uniform with curly hair and a terrified look on her face. An overlay features text in the style of a 50’s sci-fi B-movie, featuring a logo which reads “Little Green Men” in shocking text over a glowing green Earth and under a small green UFO. Text in the bottom right list the major player actors of the DS9 episode in the style of a classic movie poster. A black and white digital painting of Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation dressed as his Holodeck counterpart, hard boiled 1940’s detective Dixon Hill. He wears a classic detective’s outfit of fedora, overcoat, suit and tie. He’s illuminated by a light source coming through Venetian blinds off screen in a mostly black dark room otherwise. “The Big Goodbye by Tracy Torme”, the title of both the episode this is homaging and the fictional book the episode is based on, resides to the right of Picard in stylized lettering. Captain Sisko of Star Trek Deep Space Nine as the 1950’s science fiction writer Benny Russell, with the ghostly presence of the actual Sisko hovering contemplating over his shoulder. Russell wears a fedora, gold rimmed glasses, and a suit and tie and has a look of disbelief on his face. His right glasses lense has the reflection of the space station Deep Space Nine covering it. Digital portrait of Ensign Ro, a Bajoran Starfleet Officer from Star Trek: The Next Generation. She stands in front of a deep red background with a shadow iris at its edges wearing a red command branch Starfleet uniform with a single Ensign’s pip. The M-Class Podcast logo resides in the upper right over her shoulder with a single stripe of black beneath along with the episode name “Ensign Ro.” Artwork created by Jeff Pennington for use as episode art for M-Class Podcast’s review of “Ensign Ro.”

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

Remember Star Trek: The Motion Picture? Well now you don't have to! Marvel Comics brings us a scene-for-scene remake of TMP with some heavy hitters who are phoning it in harder than E.T. But should you rush to newsstands to buy it for a nickel?

Available everywhere!
Digital art mimicking old overprinted 1970’s comic book art for used as episode art for M-Class Podcast’s review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture #1 published by Marvel Comics. The hosts have replaced Kirk and Bones but retain their costumes. Josh asks “WE’RE DOIN’ COMICS NOW?” And Jeff identifies the episode title “MARVEL COMICS #1.” Art by Jeff Pennington.

Friend of the show and Multipal Dr Justin Sledge of Esoterica has had his teaching position unceremoniously cut out from under him. Despite this, he's still offering his new seminar on Merkavah mysticism completely free and open access. The least you could do is check it out

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

You say Mugato and I say Gumato, you know the old chestnut. But what about when two of them are banging against a log you're hiding in? Then what will you be saying? "Hot"? Put yourself to the test on this episode!

Digital illustration in the style of the TV series "Star Trek: Lower Decks" created for use as episode art for M-Class Podcast's review of the episode "Mugato, Gumato" by Jeff Pennington. Depicted is a Ferengi wearing glasses with a beard (patterned after host Jeff) who is also wearing a Mugato pelt tied together with a gold necklace, and gloves which he's shown wringing his hands together in. He has a wide shit-eating grin on his face and his eyes narrowed. An alien customer is cut off in the foreground looking back over his shoulder at him. Text reads: M-CLASS PODCAST MUGATO, GUMATO

QRP with your header art! 🚀
A science fiction space themed homage to Edward Hopper’s 1942 masterpiece “Nighthawks.” Phillies diner is now part of a space station, somewhat eroded by time and mis-care floating overtop of a planet with swirling fluffy clouds and two burning moons near an asteroid belt that stretches past the back window. Space and other planets lie beyond, dotted endlessly with stars. Inside the diner a robot bartender serves a man in a mechanized space suit and cape, a retro futuristic astronaut complete with bowl helmet, and an alien woman in a reddish space suit with a snout and horns who all sit at a triangular bar under bright yellow lights. There are a few hidden characters, and a couple cameos for you to find hidden around the piece as well. Painted digitally by Jeff Pennington for client Jon Anderson.

I don’t forsee continuing this comic anytime soon so here’s the one finished panel of a Captain Toad thing I was doing

I love that little guy!
Digital painting from an unfinished comic page of Captain Toad from the Super Mario series riding a mine cart through a spooky cavernous mine. He is wearing his headlamp, Boy Scout outfit, scarf, and big overstuffed backpack, carrying a blazing torch as he speeds down the track. The mine is lit by several torches on the wall and a couple shoppers inhabit the area as well. He seems pretty psyched honestly.

After going ALL OUT on last episodes' accompanied art I decided to scale it back and work on my pure black shading with this one which was a ton of fun, tbh

My silly Star Trek podcast is fundraising for The Trevor Project for Gay Pride Month for the fifth year in a row (or maybe sixth??) and we’d love to have you drop some donations at our fundraiser page!

The US government is about to yank all funding from Trevor so they need donations more than ever!

For the second year in a row I got to design the official brochures for JediCon WV!

This one is based on the past and future of the Duel of the Fates since Revenge of the Sith got rereleased this year
Digital graphic design piece for the JediCon XXII convention brochure by me (Jeff Pennington) depicting Anakin Skywalker, lit red from his lightsaber blade staring directly at the viewer, the shade of his face revealing the shape of Darth Vader’s helmet. Obi-wan Kenobi starred in in disbelief and frustration from the background, shoulders slumped and brow furrowed, while a spectre of his older self looks to the skies behind him, still carrying the same hope for redemption. The front cover reads “JEDICON XXII WV” “June 14th 2025” “Collecting - Games - Toys - Movies - Media - CosPlay (their spelling) - & much much more!” “10am - 4Pm”

THE LORDS RETURN!

Josh's story goes completely off the rails, Rich's tale delves into the psyche of a human jock strap AND makes you care about him, and Jeff's tales diverge into comedy and tragedy at the intersection of STORYLORDS!

DR. MARIO! 💊

Just a little doodle for fun
Digital doodle mimicking pencil of Dr. Mario, who’s like Mario but a doctor if you can believe it, standing up straight in his doctor’s coat and mirror headlamp. He’s slightly redesigned to have black pants and shoes and a higher collar on his white coat. He is surrounded by the three Virus enemies from the game who are being little jerks at him. A sketchy approximation of the Dr. Mario logo rests below him.
