hello! I'm a 30 year-old artist living in the deep south! I started making star trek collages as a teenager. they gained some popularity amongst my friends and I eventually found myself selling them online around 2013. I got close to 600 sales on etsy until I got a little concerned with their rising fees and copyright policies. I took a little break and now I'm back!

you can email me about commissions or something you'd like to buy at [email protected]!

you can also continue to commission and buy from me here on tumblr through messenger.

I post my original work over on @silasjulian

hey! Idk if you have this info available but I was wondering what adhesives you use when making your collages. there's so many options and research is....difficult.

yeah of course!! I don’t mind at all. I’m all about getting people into collaging and sharing what I know. I have some classes locally coming up even!! ask me whatever.

lol I don’t get paid for linking any of this but…

first off this is an ❌ anti-mod podge home ❌

I seal any magazine with spray varnish so that they don’t tear and turn to mush. I use delicate painter tape on the backs on cardboard then rustoleum clear satin.

then for adhesive I use some kind of clear acrylic heavy gel medium. I like this one that’s labeled impasto medium. there’s liquitex or golden brand if you wanna be fancier but it doesn’t really matter here!

then I seal my collages with polycrylic, usually satin but it depends on the vibe! I used to use semi-gloss the most. polycrylic also works as an adhesive, it’s just not as sticky and is thin.

final tips are use smooth wood panels and you can use your fingers but a brayer really helps!!

so there!! that’s just my method though. it takes a lot longer and is more expensive than others. there’s tons of ways to do collages! like if you just wanna use a glue stick and some cardboard then that’s cool too, haha.

btw I have a side blog where I talk about process stuff at @sj-wip !!

[deepspacequeer]

hi! I’m trying out pre-made collage kits rather than the usual custom ones. here are five to start out!

there’s more info on them under the cut!

my collage kits are basically photos, clippings, scraps, and paper from what I’ve collected over the past 10+ years. seriously, I never throw away anything so you might be getting something I clipped out of a magazine when I was 18, lol.

the kits are really fun! they’re great if you’re trying to get into starting your own stash of materials or wanting to be able make just a couple of collages without having to invest into it as a continued hobby. personally, I also really like the challenge making something that’s totally my own but only out of materials that were selected by someone else!

these collage kits are $30 each! for each kit you’ll get a resealable bag with everything you see spread out in it’s photo. everything is from my collections and has been hand cut by me!

$5 shipping in the US per kit. if you’re outside of the US then you’ll have to message me with your address for an estimate!

if you’d like a panel or two to work on then let me know! they’re flat 8x10 inch MDF panels that are 1/4 of an inch thick. they’re $5 each!

you can message me about buying one here through tumblr messenger. there’s an email in my pinned post as well!

this post will be updated as they sell!

kirk/spock: SOLD

kira: AVAILABLE

odo/quark: AVAILABLE

data: AVAILABLE

garak/bashir: AVAILABLE

I got to work on a really sweet commission back in april! I'm late to posting this but happy (belated) anniversary to @trippol-threat and xyr partner! this collage is on a 9x12 inch panel. I was provided the photo digitally and I did a little editing to it before printing. I wanted to make it on a flat canvas panel so it would be lighter and therefore cheaper to get sent from the US to another country!

check out my pinned post if you're interested in a commission! <3

[deepspacequeer]

hey y'all! I'm finally getting around to posting this worf collage. I suggest clicking the images for better quality and a look at all the details!

this is the biggest star trek collage I've ever made! it's on a 24x36 inch wood panel that was expensive as hell, lol. for the biggest image I used a vintage giant poster magazine! everything was hand-cut and it's all sealed with satin finish varnish. the other materials I used were gel pens and acrylic paint. as far as my tools go, I used sponges, brushes, a squeegee, a brayer, and I cut out my own stencils using a thin vinyl sheet!

I was going for a look that really emphasized that I was using clippings/pages/posters from magazines! usually I carefully cut everything out but I wanted to include some whole pages I just tore out as well. the klingon text that I included says qapla'! I have more of these magazines so I'm planning to do more in this style.

this is for sale! considering everything that went into this, I will be asking for $550. I'll have to calculate shipping if you're interested! if you'd like a commission this size then it will be around the same cost. check out my pinned post for more information on commissions and contacting me!

Just got back from the cruise 8. This is the haul of autographs.

My and the roomie definitely caught some kind of a bug, but it was a great cruise.

The pieces with a black background and the kira piece were commissioned from @deepspacequeer

The large piece we made to decorate the door, but we didn't add enough magnets, so it kept sliding to the bottom.

[deepspacequeer]

wow, look at all those signatures!! that’s awesome!! I love all the collages you’ve made with the kits I sent too. thank you so much for sharing 💚🖖🏻

[deepspacequeer]

hey y'all! here's a lisa frankenstein set I was commissioned to do recently. the movie had super fun vibes to work with and worked well with my style I think! the collages are on little 6x6 inch wood panels and sealed with satin finish varnish.

check out my pinned post for details on commissioning me!

[deepspacequeer]

hi hi hi!

I was going thru some of my magazines and found this neopets one that had a section with some of the faeries! I was immediately inspired to make some cute little 4x4 inch magnets with them! I'm a little in love with these tbh...

the 4x4 inch base is a wood panel that's 3/8ths of an inch thick. they have four strong magnets on the back that were glued on with epoxy glue! they're sealed with satin finish varnish.

if you want them then they're $35 each OR $30 each if you buy the whole set. I reeeeally hope some one gets them as a full set!! you can check my pinned post for info on contacting me.

I'll update this post as they're claimed!!

[deepspacequeer]

hiiiiii

this is another set of collages I made for a friend recently. I’m really excited about how these turned out!

they’re on 8”x8” and 8”x10” cradled wood panels that I painted a bright teal. I used some acrylic paint to give them a messier and distressed look! they’re sealed with satin finish varnish.

these of course are not available to buy but read my pinned post and hmu if you have a commission idea!

[deepspacequeer]

hey y’all!

this year I got my younger friend that had never even heard of flavor flav super into the flavor of love extended universe lol. we in particular love tiffany pollard (new york) so I thought it would be fun to make them a little set of her for their christmas present.

it’s really hard to find anything from the show that’s not super low resolution! I had to do a little editing on my computer to make what I found a little more usable.

they’re on 8”x8” and 8”x10” cradled wood panels that I painted a bright teal. I used some acrylic paint to give them a messier and distressed look! they’re sealed with satin finish varnish.

[deepspacequeer]

hey y’all! I have a fun new collage that some of you actually helped with by answering my poll! click on the pictures for higher quality! tumblr kind of smushes things lol.

this Q collage is on a 12x16 inch cradled wood panel that’s ready to hang up! it’s varnished front and back with a satin finish.

I used a poster from a 90’s star trek magazine and some prints of screencaps. the other stuff I used was acrylic paint/medium and gel pens. I’ve been asked about this recently so: everything is sealed, cut out, pasted down, painted, and drawn on by my hands! 🤗

I’m asking $200 + shipping for this! you can check out my pinned post to learn more about contacting me, commissioning me, and what else I have for sale!

here's my favorite spocks from 2014!

I've been making star trek collages for over ten years now and I'd like to get some old favorites up on this blog. I'm gonna start doing some throwback photosets every once in a while! I'm starting us off with 2014 but I might jump around some.

the first column are all 16x20s and the second are 8x10s. my style and skills have evolved but for the most part I use the same materials I always have! the 16x20 spocks came from posters and I printed the 8x10s. I used scrapbook paper and water-based varnish. some have a little glitter! it will be obvious as I post more throwbacks that I get stuck on certain photos!

you can check out my pinned post for more info about me, where to contact me, my commission info, what I have to buy that's already made, and where else to find me!

[deepspacequeer]

hey y'all! I'm excited about this one!

in 2021 I made this right here!! recently, I bought the same poster again. I really wanted to do something similar but with a fresh take now that my style has evolved and I've gained some new skills. I was going for a transporter accident feel this time!!

it's on a 16x20 inch cradled wood panel. the poster is a fold-out from a vintage st: tng magazine, the illustration of data is from an old star trek roleplaying book I found, and the transporter room label is from a star trek sticker book! my other materials were water-based satin finish varnish, acrylic paints, acrylic medium as an adhesive, gel pens, scrapbook paper, and a poster from a vintage TNG magazine. my tools used were a rubber brayer, some brushes, and a squeegee!

this collage is $300 + shipping and you can contact me through tumblr messenger or I have an email in my pinned post. you can also check out my pinned post for more info about me, commissions, what else I have to buy, and where to find me!

[deepspacequeer]

hey y'all! I did a poll in august asking you to pick a poster for me to make a collage out of and I finally got around to it!

it's on a 10x20 inch cradled wood panel. my new thing has been to leave the paint that gets on the sides/back and varnish over it! my materials other than the panel were water-based satin finish varnish, acrylic paints, acrylic medium as an adhesive, gel pens, scrapbook paper, and a poster from a vintage TNG magazine. my tools used were a craft knife, a rubber brayer, brushes, and a squeegee!

this collage is $230 + shipping and you can contact me through tumblr messenger or I have an email in my pinned post. you can also check out my pinned post for more info about me, commissions, what else I have to buy, and where to find me!
