Artist Jesus Diaz has whipped up a lovely little present for your eyes this Friday: A sexy pinup of a Vulcan babe who looks a lot like Bette Page.

You may know Diaz's work from our sister site Gizmodo, where he contributes slick collages, goofy cartoonizations, and pulp photoshopperies. But this Bette Vulcan is his piece de resistance. And I have it on good authority that this is just one part of a bigger artwork that he's been doing in secret, at the behest of a certain studio that is releasing a certain awesome movie this spring.


Diaz has given io9 an exclusive series of desktop wallpaper images, in a variety of sizes. Grab one below, and gaze at the ultimate retro futurist cheesecake. The only thing that could make this better is a decontamination shower.

Thanks, Jesus!
