After his roles on Star Trek and a few other small parts, including his first bit part in The Impossible Years, Mr. Kenney acted out leading roles in several films, beginning with How's Your Love Life? and continuing until Slumber Party '57, which was his last film.

 Jason
CarterJason Carter is best known for his role as Ranger Marcus Cole on the science fiction television series Babylon 5. Born in London, England, and brought up in Gainsborough, a small market-town in Lincolnshire, Carter has appeared on stage since he was a child. Advised to pursue a career in rubber technology, he opted instead for three years at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In 1982, he landed his first television role on BBC2's long-running Jackanory as Hawkwing. In addition to his role as Ranger Marcus Cole in the third and fourth seasons of Babylon 5, Carter has also appeared in numerous other television series including Viper, Beverly Hills 90210, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Charmed and Angel.

 Keith
R. A. DeCandidoKeith R. A. DeCandido doesn't know why there ain't no sun up in the sky, but does know why you don't like Mondays. He has written a metric buttload of fiction (which is slightly more than an imperial buttload) over a two-decade-plus career. Recent and upcoming work includes: Star Trek: The Klingon Art of War (which debuted at this convention in 2014); the Sleepy Hollow novel Children of the Revolution; the "Precinct" series of fantasy police procedurals, starting with Dragon Precinct in 2004 and continuing through half a dozen books and short stories; the Stargate SG-1 novel Kali's Wrath; the graphic novel Icarus; the Farscape graphic novel The War for the Uncharted Territories (written in collaboration with Farscape creator Rockne S. O'Bannon); short stories in the anthologies Bad-Ass Faeries: It's Elemental, Out of Tune, Stargate SG-1/Atlantis: Far Horizons, V-Wars: Night Terrors, The X-Files: Trust No One, and several more; the short fiction collection Without a License: The Fantastic Worlds of Keith R. A. DeCandido; and tons more that he'll be happy to tell you all about at Treklanta. In 2009, DeCandido received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers, which means he never needs to achieve anything ever again. His rewatch of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine appears twice weekly on Tor.com; he completed a rewatch of The Next Generation in 2013. DeCandido is also a freelance editor, a second-degree black belt in karate, a veteran podcaster, a member of the Liars Club, an avid baseball fan, and probably some other stuff that he can't remember due to the lack of sleep. Find out less at DeCandido's cheerfully retro web site at DeCandido.net, which is the gateway to his blog, his Facebook page, his Twitter feed, his podcasts and a whole lot more. |

 Alec
PetersThe leader and visionary of the Star Trek: Axanar project (creator, executive producer, co-writer), Alec Peters is the epitome of someone who discovers their calling and succeeds in pursuing it. An attorney by training, Peters coached an NCAA Championship volleyball team at the University of Southern California and with the U.S. National team, then struck off and started five companies, earning him an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2003. Peters has written the Star Trek Prop, Costume & Auction Blog since 2006, which is the #1 web site for information on collecting screen-used Star Trek props & costumes. In 2008, he created Propworx, which held the Battlestar Galactica prop auctions, considered by many to be the finest prop & costume auctions ever. In 2011, Peters was appointed archivist by CBS for their Star Trek archive, working on the various Star Trek exhibition tours, the last one being the 2012 "Pacific National Exhibition" leg of the Star Trek: The Exhibition tour exhibit in Vancouver, Canada. Prior to his appointment, he had been entrusted by CBS in 2010 with the auctioning off of the exhibit assets of the defunct Las Vegas Star Trek: The Experience exhibition. The driving force behind Axanar, Peters’ passion for Star Trek has made Axanar a fan favorite. Peters serves as writer, producer and actor, as Captain Kelvar Garth. He first appeared as Garth of Izar in the Star Trek: Phase II episode "Origins." Axanar will explore the legend of the man who Captain Kirk considered his personal hero. |

Our
2015 Guest Artists
|
 Justin
AndersonJustin Anderson’s introduction to the arts began at an early age. He intently watched his father draw people and objects in his native hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, and developed an affinity to cartoons, comics and toys. Continuing with the arts led to Georgia Southern University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2003 with the goal of learning to draw for comics. As a graphic designer, Anderson has helped numerous individuals and small businesses since 2004. His work is inspired by a juxtaposition of themes that range from movies, pop culture, animal symbolism, quotations and history. His technique stems from a traditional art background combined with commercial art skills, and his influences include Jackson Pollock, comics, street art and video games. Anderson continues to push the boundaries of his own limits as he continues on his journey to become a master artist and successful graphic designer. Treklanta is pleased to welcome Justin Anderson to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. |
 Katie
BracewellKatie Bracewell is an artist based in south Georgia known as "Robo-Tart" and "K8e-art." She focuses primarily on illustrations using watercolor as her main medium.

Treklanta is pleased to welcome Katie Bracewell to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. |
 Dan
"DTM" FloresBorn in East Los Angeles with a pencil in his hand, Daniel Flores was a creative child, drawing on every surface he could find. His imagination would start taking off with images of Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Bugs Bunny and stories of Aztec bravery as told by his history teacher in Mexico City, where he attended middle school. By high school, his skills were well-known by anyone who met him, and his nickname became "Dan The Man." By his senior year, the nickname was shortened to just "DTM," and that's what it is today. DTM never entered any art contests and was not interested in learning about art in a classroom setting. Drawing is his preferred learning style, and by doing, he has added several other art skills to his pool of talents, including tattoos, fine art, graphic design and mobile game illustration. Ever since arriving in Atlanta in 1994, DTM has been deeply involved in the arts community, starting with group art shows to curator of the Mano A Mano art exhibit series. In 2002, his tattoo studio won Creative Loafing's Best of Atlanta award. Since 2004, he has participated in over 25 group art shows in the Atlanta area. In 2005, his art was shown at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta as part of the Art Beats + Lyrics art show. With his wife, Aisha Flores, DTM ventured into the web design field in 2006 and founded Denominator Graphics with a focus on building web sites for young artists in order for them to have an online portfolio and the opportunity to promote their art to potential fine art collectors. DTM was published in the July 2012 issue of ImagineFX magazine. Also in 2012, DTM founded the nonprofit organization Art Is King, whose mission is to develop resources, events and connections that educate artists and supports the arts community. Art is Dan Flores' passion, and his creativity overflows with nonstop art projects. Art is DTM's profession, and he's thankful for the opportunity to create. Treklanta is pleased to welcome Dan "DTM" Flores to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. Visit his personal web site at Delta Tango Mike. |
 Lesley
JonesLesley Jones is an artist from the north Georgia mountains. She is a full-time geek and dedicates her art to her love of fandoms. Her goal is to make people smile when they see her work. She wanted to create cards that spoke to the geeks and had a humorous edge to them. She began with one and has since created over seventy more, and has expanded into bookmarks and coloring books. Jones will never stop creating, as it has become her true passion to embrace her inner paper geek. Treklanta is pleased to welcome Lesley Jones to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. |
 Peter
LückerPeter Lücker, who goes by the nickname "Float," is a formerly Atlanta-based artist now living in Madison, Alabama, working in the media of canvas painting, collage, digital art and design.

Treklanta is pleased to welcome Peter "Float" Lücker to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. Visit his Facebook page at Float Shop . |
 Carly
StricklandCarly Strickland is a digital illustrator and book designer based in Birmingham, Alabama, and her favorite word is awesome. She is very small and probably has a complex about it. She prefers pet rats but supposes her step-cat will do. Strickland is art director of Matter Deep Publishing, an independent publishing company. She draws them a lot of pictures—so many pictures that she has published three children's books since Matter Deep was launched in 2011, and has two more in the works. Strickland loves retro sci-fi, Star Trek, modern sci-fi, Leonard Nimoy and Star Trek. You can see more about her obsession at her table in her new, fully illustrated Star Trek alphabet book, digital art prints and Mothership Goose, a children's book about nursery rhymes, jetpacks and mouse mechanics. You can also visit her web site, carlystricklandart.com. Treklanta is pleased to welcome Carly Strickland to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. |
 Dimitri
WalkerBorn and raised in Atlanta, Dimitri Walker is a simple artist at heart. Brush, paint and canvas are his tools. He has been a portrait artist since 1983, primarily graphite (pencil). In 1994, Walker began to paint with oils and acrylics. He also took a job picture framing to be near the art world. He continued to learn and became a Master Certified Framer. In 2005, at 40 years old, Walker went to college and earned a Bachelors of Fine Art. In the spring of 2012, while teaching a drawing class at a local art gallery, a student/friend who took his class to learn to draw the TARDIS better, said to him, "Dimitri, I know you watch and love all the same shows and movies I do. Supernatural, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Firefly and all the comic book movies. I have been to your web site. Why don't you have any Fan Art?" Walker replied, "What's 'Fan Art'?" And the rest is history. Treklanta is pleased to welcome Dimitri Walker to our very first Artists Alley & Art Show. Visit his web site at Paintings by Dimitri Walker. |

Currently, Wheeler is very busy growing his organization OnyxCon and the OnyxCon Institute, working with school groups and organizations such as Atlanta's public libraries.

 Eric
L. WattsFounder & Chairman Senior Director of Programming Eric L. Watts has been active in Star Trek fandom for more than thirty-five years and is one of the most well-known Star Trek fans in the southeast. He brings a wealth of convention-running experience, fan club management and insider knowledge to the Treklanta con committee. Mr. Watts started watching Star Trek in the early 1970s, attended his first Star Trek convention in 1978 and started his first fan club, The United Federation of Trekkers, in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1980. During his presidency, the UFT became the state's largest Star Trek fan club, with more than 100 members. He served as president and newsletter editor for eight years and was often interviewed by the local media during the heyday of the first four Star Trek motion pictures. In 1992, Mr. Watts joined Dragon*Con to create a new track of programming devoted exclusively to Star Trek. "TrekTrak" debuted in 1993 and over the next 17 years became one of Dragon*Con's largest, highest-profile and most widely acclaimed programming tracks. In 2002, Mayor Shirley Franklin proclaimed September 2 of that year as "TrekTrak Day" in the City of Atlanta. His signature event, the Miss Klingon Empire Beauty Pageant, was one of America Online's "Top 11 Most Offbeat Beauty Pageants" for two consecutive years and has been featured in Shock, Spin, Discover, Maxim and Bizarre magazines, on the syndicated TMZ television program, and on the Fox News, Today Show and countless other web sites.

 Russell
RuhlandDirector of On-Site Registration Russell Ruhland has been a fan of science fiction since his early youth when the Thunderbirds puppet sci-fi TV show was aired in the 1960s.

 Brian
HollowayDirector of Star Trek Track Operations Brian Holloway began his theatre career at the ripe old age of 7 when he appeared in a regional theatrical production of Fiddler on the Roof with his father. Since then, the acting bug has hit hard and became a full-time commitment. Although he dabbled in the medical field for a short time, he could not be kept long from the bright lights and appeal of the stage. After receiving his BFA in Performance Arts, he toured nationally with several theatre organizations for about seven years and could be seen headlining in productions ranging from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and Henry IV, Parts I & II to musicals like Big River, Man of La Mancha, Kiss Me, Kate and Jekyll & Hyde, to name a few. Mr. Holloway got into the sci-fi realm when he was still in high school in Utah and has been an avid and regular convention attendee since he was 15. He has also received theatre degrees in costume and makeup design and has won national and regional awards for his design work. He even had costume designs for an original theatrical piece, HOTLINE!, displayed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. While in Utah, he was fortunate to befriend Paula Crist, who served as an actress and stuntwoman for productions like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Battlestar Galactica and the TV series Planet of the Apes. Crist got him connected to the film industry and he has been fortunate enough to land limited work in such productions as The Patriot, Last of the Mohicans, Domestic Disturbance, Doctor Who: The Movie, HIGHLANDER: The Series, Shallow Hal and Star Trek. He is currently the Special Make-Up F/X Supervisor for Star Trek: Phase II. Mr. Holloway lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has had the great fortune to meet such wonderful people there and has learned much from local celebs and fellow con-goers such as Cheralyn Lambeth, the 501st Squadron and the SCA Wardrobe Guild. He served as Treklanta's Director of Costuming & Makeup Programming from 2011 to 2013 and takes over as Director of the Star Trek Programming Track beginning in 2014. |

 Marcia
PattersonDirector of Space Opera Programming Ms. Patterson gets great joy from helping fans and stars interact for magical fun. From childhood, like zillions of others, she became enthralled with Star Trek, along with reruns of The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone. Her semi-pro involvement with sci-fi fandom began with her love of the television show Beauty and the Beast (with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman). She was selected to head the large local Beauty and the Beast fan club and helped organize South of Oz, a Beauty and the Beast fan convention in Florida, where she produced the literary competition, hosted the award show and produced her first celebrity and fan panels. In the mid 1990s, in northeast Florida, Ms. Patterson worked as host and head writer for the First Coast Fandom cable show and as editor and co-publisher of the zine FanNews. In the sports world, she was voted in as president of the official fan club for the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team and did voice work for their commercials. In 2003, she created Stargate Offworld, the first fan-produced Stargate-only convention in the United States. Ms. Patterson served as staff for the American Sci-Fi Track at Dragon*Con for many years and as the director of their Stargate Programming Track for three years. She "birthed" the MegaPanel, for a mix of fun and madness, where she hosted up to a dozen guests on stage at the same time. She has also produced fan programming at the sprawling San Diego Comic-Con. Over the years, Ms. Patterson has continued to work with producers, media outlets, companies and production companies, actors, across many fields, and now joins the staff of Treklanta as Director of the Space Opera Programming Track to help foster new adventures! |

 Julianne
TrewArt Show Director Julianne Trew is a prolific abstract painter from Georgia. She trained at the Douglasville School of Art and later graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting. She paints out of her home studio in Smyrna, Georgia. In Atlanta, her work can be seen at Kibbee Gallery and Mason Fine Arts. Ms. Trew's work has been described as "pure product of the subconscious," as her paintings elude to biology and space without directly becoming anything that exists in our reality. She paints autonomously by making decisions as she works, making it a personal journey of creation and visual calculation. To complement this, she uses a subtractive method of painting, which results in a majority of her work being done in monochrome. This heightens the scientific nature of the images, so that the viewer can impose their own consciousness on the imagery while being intellectually and aesthetically stimulated. Ms. Trew's work has been exhibited in places such as Moss, Norway, and galleries in New York. She's organized and curated small local shows in Marietta and Kennesaw, Georgia, and is a registered instructor with Gumbacher, a paint manufacturer. She makes annual donations of artwork to Georgia Lawyers for the Arts, Hambidge Center for Creative Arts & Sciences, and Art Papers magazine. Ms. Trew was recently awarded five stars at MOCAGA's annual pin-up show and became a recipient of their C4 Ignite scholarship. She has been a member of the USS Republic for a number of years. She has directorship and extensive staffing experience with several Atlanta-area conventions and looks forward to bringing her vision and diverse set of skills to Treklanta. |
