Description
(1989) 9"x12", pastels and charcoal on vellum.Who says doing your taxes is all bad? While digging around a pile of old papers I came across a small folder of ancient art and found several nice portrait drawings of Mr. Spock I did in 1989.
I guess I did all right 20 years ago and actually doubt I could still make that much out of a bunch of pastels these days.
I really went for a kind of pulp magazine appeal with the whole set: gaudy colors, spacey backgrounds etc. And for this drawing I think Spock's unusually happy disposition was based on a TV still of him hanging in a tree and laughing his head off while under the influence of some alien spores and the lovely Jill Ireland...

what a gorgeous pic!
i remember that particular show, and this look on his face...it was almost cathartic...i really wished for him to fall in love...
i was in love with spock and the thought of him loving someone so beautiful as jill ireland was completely understandable...i simply wanted to be her...

Yeah, I am with you on that one. The scene at the end, where he's rid of the spores' influence and back in his shell and they need to say good-bye and both know what they have lost, is just heartbreaking...

oh, my goodness, yes......

You made him so believably happy! I loved Star Trek even when I was a little kid

I am so glad you like it. It was so nice to open that old forgotten folder among all my papers and he was lying on top just grinning at me...

Very nice likeness of Nimoy's Spock. But smiling? How illogical.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep - it took some extraordinary influence to make that happen. But I think that's what made this episode and "The Naked Time" where he cries for once just so much more powerful.

I know, it really makes his whole face light up...

It really does. Nimoy didn't get a chance to smile much on the show and when he did it was just so special!

Oh dear, that is amazing!!! I couldn`t draw much back then... and your skills are and where admirable! Where did you study art Elly???

Thanks so much! This drawing really dates me, I'm afraid. I never really studied art, I just kept at it when most kids eventually stop scribbling.

This is the most wonderful drawing of Leonard Nimoy. You got him spot on! Just lovely

I was wondering about that smile! But I absolutely LOVE this, Elly!!!!!!!!!!!
Go in peace...

Thank you! It was probably the only still EVER of him just laughing in pure happiness.

Really nice work! I like the comic book/pulp magazine/novel cover look.
Gotta love a happy Spock!
