Anthony Fredrickson is a scenic and graphic artist who worked on several Star Trek projects including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, and several Star Trek films. In addition, he worked on the exhibitions Star Trek: The Experience and Star Trek World Tour. Before his official Star Trek years, Fredrickson was already acquainted with Doug Drexler, and with whom he illustrated the reference book Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual. Drexler has recalled, "Anthony started out stocking shelves at the Federation Trading Post [remark: the Star Trek store, Drexler ran in 1970s], and came along for the ride when my effects makeup career took off. A few years after I started for Mike in the art department, we needed a PA. Anthony stepped into a bottom line job, and quickly became a scenic artist when Mike promoted him." [1](X) During his tenure at Deep Space Nine, he married Art Department Coordinator Penny Juday.

Apart from his regular duties in providing graphics for the show, Fredrickson occasionally lent a hand in constructing studio models and props. The Galaxy-class interior nacelle maquette ("Eye of the Beholder"), the Ty'Gokor orbital facility ("Apocalypse Rising"), Presidio Starfleet Headquarters maquette ("Homefront"), and the Mars building complex maquette ("Lifesigns"), are some examples of the former by his hand. Fredrickson's ability to construct these models from what ever material was at hand at the time, essentially kit-bashing them, earned him the nickname "King of Kludge" from his production staff colleagues like Doug Drexler and his art department supervisor Mike Okuda.
