Kip Grimes

Sime~Gen fan artist Kip Grimes

I grew up with it since my Mother is a big Star Trek fan. I would come home from school and sit on the floor in front of our black and white TV and watch it while eating a snack. In the 7th grade my friends and I made a silent Star Trek movie and I played Lieutenant Uhura! We had cardboard props with flashing lights and the works. I have seen all of the movies and my children grew up on Star Trek both on the television and on the big screen. What I think draws people to Star Trek is the optimistic future of mankind and the close bond of the characters. It gives hope. I believe that Star Trek has inspired many people to create their own universes in many different artistic forms. It sparks the imagination and who know where a kid sitting in front of a black and white television can go from there?
