We now have posters, t-shirts, and a popular yearly calendar, which we sell at conventions and events like Hal-Con and Spring Geequinox, as well as online. Starshipsstarthere.ca is entirely independent, owned and operated by Andrew Burke and his company Shindig Digital Constructions of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is in no way funded by or connected to the Government of Nova Scotia, MT&L / National Public Relations, Irving Shipbuilding, the United Federation of Planets, the Rebel Alliance, the Weyland-Yutani corporation, or any other organization. As much as possible, I have used my own photographs for the "real world" parts of the pictures on this site.
