Pages from my sketchbook
Tribute to Challenger
This piece was done in honor of the space shuttle Challenger, which exploded shortly after takeoff on 28 January 1986. The two faces in the take-off smoke are intended to be composites of characteristics of the astronauts. The quote is from the evening speech President Reagan gave to the nation. (The work was done in 1995, and consequentially I pasted the speech into the work, something I would not do today due to its affect on the overall piece's appearance.)
