Babylon 5 fandom Update for 4 - 11- 2021
I update once every 2 weeks (or so) with fiction, challenges etc. Please feel free to contact me if I you have news or anything you think needs to be featured here. Just send me a PM at alexcat or post it to the update and I’ll include it the next time.
Spring seems to have arrived indeed here – we have dogwoods, redbuds, apple trees, and azaleas blooming and the air is yellow with pollen! I have planted some herbs and a few small items in my bucket gardens. If you want a break from the sunshine and pollen, we are watching Season 4 now atb5_revisited. Hope over and join us there! Happy spring!

Fanart:
I am changing up the fanart selections since I use Deviantart for most of my art posts. For the foreseeable future I will feature one artist a week and maybe include a small sample of their work with a link.
Babylon 5 artwork from iov – These are quite good… I may have linked them before but they’re worth a second look.
Bio of the week:
Wortham Krimmer played the delightfully insane Emperor Cartagia in Season 4 of Babylon 5. He acted mostly on soaps and did several guest spots on tv series. After an acting career of over 20 years, he returned ot law school and completed his degree and practices law. He reverted back to his real name, Robert Krimmer.
