My son is completely awed by space, planets and stars and his want to know everything has relit my own sometimes almost childish fascination and love of star and planet gazing,
'Space' has come from this enjoyment - To offer the viewer a place to imagine the billion life cycle journey of our own sun... all it has witnessed and all it has created....
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. Its diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.[17]
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class. As such, it is informally referred to as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became so hot and dense that it eventually initiated nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process.
The Sun is roughly middle-aged; it has not changed dramatically for more than four billion years, and will remain fairly stable for more than another five billion years. After hydrogen fusion in its core has diminished to the point at which it is no longer in hydrostatic equilibrium, the core of the Sun will experience a marked increase in density and temperature while its outer layers expand to eventually become a red giant. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury, Venus, and probably Earth.
The enormous effect of the Sun on Earth has been recognized since prehistoric times, and the Sun has been regarded by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Earth and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of the solar calendar, which is the predominant calendar in use today.

Invader (born 1969) is a French urban artist who pastes up characters from and inspired by the Space Invaders game, made up of small colored square tiles that form a mosaic. He does this in cities across the world, then documents this as an "Invasion", with books and maps of where to find each invader.
Invader started this project in 1998 with the invasion of Paris - the city where he lives and the most invaded city to date - and then spread the invasion to 31 other cities in France (such as Montpellier, Marseille, Avignon, Rennes, Bordeaux, Lille, or Bastia...), London, Cologne, Geneva, Newcastle, Rome, Berlin, Lausanne, Barcelona, Bonn, Ljubljana, Vienna, Amsterdam, Bilbao, Manchester, and Darlington are among the 22 other European cities which have been invaded. In the world, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego, Bangkok, Tokyo, Katmandu, Varanasi, Melbourne, Perth, and even Mombasa are now invaded with his colorful characters in mosaic tiles.
The mosaics depict characters from Space Invaders and other video games from the late 1970s. The images in these games were made with fairly low-resolution graphics, and are therefore suitable for reproduction as mosaics, with tiles representing the pixels. The tiles are difficult to alter and weather-resistant.
Invader installed his first mosaic in the mid 1990s in Paris. According to the artist, it was a scout, or sentinel, because it remained the only one for several years. The program of installations began in earnest in 1998.
The locations for the mosaics are not random, but are chosen according to diverse criteria, which may be aesthetic, strategic or conceptual. Invader favors locations that are frequented by many people, but also likes some more hidden locations. In Montpellier, the locations of mosaics were chosen so that, when placed on a map, they form an image of a giant space invader character.
The mosaics are half built in advance, and Invader travels with them, and half from the city he is invading. When he arrives in a city he obtains a map and spends at least a week to install them. They are catalogued, pictured and Invader use a map indicating their locations within the city. Typically, mosaics are located 10 to fifteen feet above the ground, and often on street corners in areas of high visibility.
One of the more prominent places where the mosaics have been installed is on the Hollywood Sign. The first was placed on the letter D on December 31, 1999. During further trips to Los Angeles, Invader has placed mosaics on the 8 other letters of the sign.
Invader also works on another project that he titles "Rubikcubism", which consists making artworks made of Rubik's Cubes. Invader has had solo exhibitions at art galleries in Paris, Osaka, Melbourne, Los Angeles, New York City , and London. Invader placed two of his iconic tile works on the World Of Wonder Storefront Gallery, located at 6650 Hollywood Blvd., in Hollywood, CA. for the 4th annual I Am 8 Bit group show. In 2010, he was one of the featured artists in the film Exit Through the Gift Shop in which it states he is a cousin of Thierry Guetta (Mr. Brainwash). In the Futurama episode, Proposition Infinity (Season 6, Episode 4). Bender is depicted as a street artist, putting up images of himself using the same mosaic technique as Invader.

SPACE SHUTTLE LIFTOFF --- A Rockwell International Corporation art concept of a Space Shuttle Orbiter lifting of the launch pad with all engines burning in parallel. Sold fuel rocket boosters (on either side of the large external tank) develop 11,210,000 newtons (2,500,000 pounds) of thrust as they help push the orbiter into space. Following burnout at about 43.4 kilometers (27 miles), the depleted boosters parachute back to a predetermined site in the ocean. They are recovered and refurbished for use on other missions. The large liquid propellent tank continues to feed the orbiter's main engines liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as the delta-winged vehicle nears Earth orbit insertion. Just before entering the orbit phase the now-empty external tank is jettisoned. The development of the Space Shuttle introduces a new, low-cost method of transportation to and from Earth orbit. Once operational (first flight is planned for 1980), Shuttle costs per mission will be $10.5 million. By comparison Apollo 17 operation costs were $105 million. The Space Shuttle Oribter is being built under contract to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by the Space Division of Rockwell International Corporation, Downey, California.

From the darkest depths of the universe, where it's always nighttime, comes... Space Vampire!
A quick little vector drawing, based on a doodle I did during a meeting. Don't worry, I can doodle and listen at the same time.
Originally I drew him with light green skin, but it didn't go very well with the other colors, so I changed it to a pale blue. I like the high contrast provided by the bright red cape.
I briefly considered calling this one "Alien Vampire," since I just did a "Space Accountant" drawing, but that just didn't have as good a rhythm as "Space Vampire."
This is a vector drawing, drawn all in InDesign. The text was hand drawn.

We honeymooned in Seattle and did a bunch of touristy stuff. When you go to the space needle, they take your photo on the ground floor, before you even go in the air, and then you can photoshop yourself in front of the space needle, which is just the biggest joke.

Armed with two heavy-duty, justice-dispensing twin blaster turrets, the Space Police Oppressor is one ship you never want to see enter your planet’s atmosphere. While its hull is mostly taken up by its shielded hangar, which is capable of carrying up to three Space Police Enforcer ships, the ship’s bridge can hold several officers and has a communications array which can receive orders from Space Police Headquarters and whose broadcasts are able to remotely pilot the Enforcer ships. This monstrosity may not be popular with the galactic citizenry, but that hasn’t stopped the Space Police from ramping up production in the name of “peace”.
