Photograph of one corner of my home office, with a number of prints and postcards by artist J. J. Lendl hanging on the walls. On the left wall, across the top is a series of Star Trek postcards featuring different episodes of Picard, TNG, and DS9. Under the clock is a bonus Star Trek print I got when ordering the postcards. On the right wall is a series of Severance prints, one for each episode in seasons 1 and 2. (The smaller frames contain printouts of the actual prints, because I'm too broke to buy all 15 prints, but I did buy the larger Cold Harbor print.)
