Sosa Trek

In 2013, I had the honor of being involved in Canvas Trek, a campaign to introduce Edmonds Community College to the new Learning Management System (LMS) called Canvas. They were phasing out Blackboard, the old LMS. We modeled our campaign after Star Trek. We fought and defeated the evil Blackborg to bring the new Canvas to save the day!

Following are designs I made of our intrepid leader Steve Sosa as various Star Trek folks. We ended up not using them in the campaign, though I was pretty proud of how they turned out. Had we used them, I would have made more. (For example, I would have been interested in seeing him as a Ferengi.) The top one is one I made at the end of my internship to thank Steve for his inspirational leadership.

Qapla!

Steve was assimilated. Resistance was futile.

"I am the Captain of the Enterprise
And a right good Captain too!
You're exceedingly polite, and I think it only right
To return the compliment!
We're exceedingly polite, and he thinks it only right
To return the compliment!"

Vulcan Ambassador Steve
Live long and prosper!
