I try my hand at some Star Trek T-Shirts

When I found that the t-shirt site, welovefine.com, was doing a design contest on Star Trek, I felt that I had to jump to and get some designs done: I love Star Trek! There was no way I would not have grown up with Star Trek, having one parent that is a trekkie and the other that is a general sci-fi enthusiast. Even though, I'm not as big of a fan of the original series (TOS) as I am of the Next Generation (TNG), and recently I have found that my favorite series so far is Voyager(STV), I must admit that I love ALL of the Star Trek universe! Any-whoos, Below are the shirt designs I submitted. If you like the Star Trek inspired shirts I have done, be sure to vote for them on September 25th, 2012. I'll leave links for the shirts below their respective picture.

Cortical Stimulator design by Taylor Lymbery

 I could almost make a drinking game on how many times the mighty cortical stimulator has saved someone's life! Go see this design on welovefine.com here!

Oh, Chakotay! design by Taylor Lymbery
No one can melt Captain Janeway's heart away like this Maquis hunk, leaving Katherine only saying, "Oh, Chakotay!" Go see this design on welovefine.com here!

   
Child's Play design by Taylor Lymbery
It seems silly, but every kid that liked star trek that I knew, wanted an Enterprise to ride around on. It would've been awesome. Go see this design on welovefine.com here!

Space Anomaly design by Taylor Lymbery
There was one episode in the Voyager series where Neelix asked why Voyager had to go and inspect every anomaly it came across. Shortly after, the ship was trapped in a sub-space hole in a nebula; and then after that, about to be devoured by a living ion cloud monster; and then after that... You get the picture. Go see this design on welovefine.com here!

Tricorder Theatre
I've read that the scene in Generations where Data is using his tricorder as a puppet, is thought to be one of the worst jokes in the Star Trek universe. When I saw this scene in the theater, I laughed so hard I had soda shoot through my nostrils! Needless to say, I still find it kind of funny. Don't judge... Go see this design on welovefine.com here!

I hope that you enjoy these designs as much as I do.  I would have liked to do more, but there was a five shirt maximum. Oh, well. Maybe next time... Again, if you like these designs, be sure to share this posting with your friends that also like Star Trek and let the word get out about the voting on 9/25/12.

There's been an update to the store tabs on both Xenex the Bug Man, and this site. All of the print on demand issues, cafepress stores and commissions info will be under the new store tab on both this site and the Xenex the Bug Man site. Hopefully this page makes shopping a bit easier. Go and check it out! 

Just a quick update: I did go ahead and purchase a table for the Fan Days Convention in October. So I will be there (given that I don't have another mishap).

Now, you mighty be asking what this Marvin Dog media is. I've got answers. I had been working with a good friend of mine, Jeff McGee, before I got sick on designing logos and banners for a podcast that I am on and logos and banners of podcasts that other friends are on. I have listened to all of the shows so far and they are great! Jeff and I are on the show where we talk about toys! (Go figure, I mean Go action figure!) That show is called Talking toys with Taylor and Jeff. The other two shows are The pilot episode, where Jeff and Josh Taylor break down the Pilot Episode in TV series, and The Loosely Based Podcast where Brynna and Jeff compare the book to the movie adaptation! Again, the shows are great! If you are interested in what we got, go to Marvindogmedia.com  and give us a listen. You can subscribe to the shows on itunes and get up to date info on upcoming shows on facebook:

Give us a like! And, if you like what we have, be sure to tell your friends! We need your word of mouth to help us keep making shows!
