His first two films (MARGIN CALL and ALL IS LOST) have been outstanding and so we have high hopes for writer/director J.C. Chandor’s latest. The early buzz on the film is solid with A MOST VIOLENT YEAR boasting a brilliant cast led by INTERSTELLAR’s Jessica Chastain and STAR WARS: EP...
For our this years #BritArmyAndFriendsReunion @CosmicConEvent in Manchester on 06./07.June 2015 I decided to proceed with my tradition of creating a special design for our group and get it printed on badges and T-Shirts being worn and shared with others and posters to be signed by all of us.

Little did I know about how things would develop then:
During our holiday on Big Island / Hawai’i we met the incredibly talented Jon Lomberg and he gave us a private tour through one of his wonderful projects: #GalaxyGarden ( www.galaxygarden.net )
Jon is one of the world's most distinguished artists inspired by astronomy.
From 1972 until Carl Sagan's death in 1996, he illustrated most of Sagan's books and magazine articles, and he was Chief Artist for Sagan's classic television series. For his work on #COSMOS Jon received in 1981 a Prime Time EMMY Award for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Creative Technical Crafts".
With the #VoyagerGoldenRecord Jon and his team have created some of the most unusual, durable, and far-flung artifacts ever produced by the human species.
The design for the cover of the Voyager Interstellar Record, predicted to last for over a thousand million years, may be the longest lived piece of human art ever made.
(Just typing this gives me goosebumps)

Meeting this great artist in person, whom I always deeply admired and whose work is breathtakingly beautiful and who is inspiring so many people all around our beautiful blue dot touched me deeply inside.
Jon’s work made history already decades ago and still is a fundamental part of #SpaceExploration of mankind.
Talking about many things like space, art and projects like his #GalaxyGarden etc. was amazing.
The latest project of Jon and his team is a crowdfunding campaign to create a self-portrait of humanity to send to the stars on NASA's #Pluto mission #NewHorizons.
This campaign is an invitation to all humans to join this amazing project and become part of our global message.

I fell in love with that campaign immediately, so after our meeting the idea of integrating the #VoyagerGoldenRecord2.0 in my design grew in me.
After completion I send my painting to Jon as I wanted to dedicate it to his project. His reply left me deeply touched and honored, reading that he loves it and would like to share it with his friends.
Like a friend lately said so perfectly:
"Heroes you admired appreciating your work…priceless."
I am delighted to say that my design now even includes a dedication of Jon himself, inviting all of us to #SpeakForEarth together.
And all of us can share our voice and thoughts and build a huge mosaic of our beautiful #BlueDot which then will be sent to #OuterSpace digitally in the near future by Jon's global team and I am curious to see how humankind defines itself these days and what kind of message we will leave in that time capsule - also for our future generations.
I feel like having received an invitaion to a #EndlessGlobalSpaceTweetup - #Spaceholix travelling through space and time TOGETHER.
So I hope YOU will join, support and share this project.
#TheMoreTheMerrier
Here are the details behind my design:
COSMICCON BADGE DETAILS:
* #SPACEHOLIX #ReachingBeyondTheStars
I created this @Spaceholix logo and catchphrase for my lanyards for last years @SpacefestVI in Pasadena/ US and #AlexTweetup in Baikonur, an epic trip, where we met the generation of moonwalkers as well as the generation of #Shenanigans2009 @Astro_Alex ( #BlueDot) and @AstroSamantha ( #Futura) – the @esa astronauts who launched to #ISS together with their US and Russian crewmates last year.
#Spaceholix include ALL people sharing their love of our stars and beyond during special events as well as via Social Media - hence all of us are circling around all planets of our solar system
* LOGO IN WIDMANSTÄTTEN STRUCTURE
The Widmanstätten structure honors all #Meteorite hunters out there, especially our dear friend and speaker at @CosmicConEvent,
@GeoffNotkin, the inspiring #RockHound and host of @MeteoriteMen ( meteoritemen.com )
as well as their brand new show @MHUnlimited ( www.meteoritehuntersunlimited.com ) the world premiere of which will be shown during @CosmicConEvent.
It is because of Geoff, that I fell in love with #SpaceRocks and his exceptional way to fascinate and inspire people.
He rocks #STEM and even more #STEAM like no one else and is truly one of a kind.
* COSMICCON-ROCKET - PASSING BY ALL OUR PLANETS FROM MERKUR TO NEPTUN AND OUR EX-PLANET #PLUTO

P.S. Not all pics here are taken by myself/my iPhone.
Some are part of the brainstorming process for the design (Thanks Mr. Google) or such a precious part of this unique experience, that I wanted to save and share them here.

The competitors in The Interstellar Snuff Circuit - ISC for short - aren't the sanest bunch. One might wonder, though, if Nude Alex isn't the craziest. His Vroomfast (named by himself) is the speediest vehicle in the race. It should be the given winner going by numbers alone, but Nude Alex tends to trust his co-pilot Coco too much. He insists Coco is his late partner's reincarnated soul, but space science usually shows her to be an ordinary bird.
I enjoyed taking pictures outside so much I took all of the shots there. Is this working for you or is it too distracting?
Triangulum (Messier 33)

Messier 33 is a low-luminosity flocculent spiral galaxy at 3 million light-years in Triangulum. It is catalogued also as NGC 598 and known as Triangulum Galaxy. The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group and it is believed to be a big satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy.
M33 has two asymmetric faint arms, and an interstellar medium rich in gaseous filaments that extends for about 7 kpc. Although the inner disk is relatively undisturbed, the northern arm is less regular in shape than the southern one. M33, is a bulge-free galaxy with only two optically luminous dwarf galaxies believed to be its satellites: AndXXII (McConnachie et al., 2009; Martin et al., 2016) and Pisces VII (Martínez-Delgado et al., 2022) m discovered by me in 2020. However, given its mass, ΛCDM cosmological simulations predict that M33 should host a larger number of satellites, at least 10.
The neutral hydrogen (HI) disk is three times larger than the star-forming disk and is clearly warped. The outer disk has the same inclination as the inner one with respect to our line of sight but the position angle of the major axis changes by about 30 degrees compared to the inner disk and is more aligned with the M31 direction. While M33's undisturbed inner disk indicates that no major collisions between M31 and M33 or between M33 and a satellite have occurred in the past, the distortion could be the result of a flyby about 9 billion years ago. Timing assessments make this scenario unlikely and favor the hypothesis of a first fall of M33 in the region of influence of M31.

This image captures the rare interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, photographed on 19 December 2025 from southern skies as it approached its closest passage to Earth. Unlike ordinary comets bound to the Sun, 3I/ATLAS follows a hyperbolic trajectory, indicating an origin outside our solar system.
The comet’s distinctive green coma, formed by the fluorescence of diatomic carbon (C₂) in sunlight, stands out against a background of distant stars and galaxies. Subtle hints of diffuse tail structures are visible, shaped by solar wind interaction as the comet accelerated through the inner solar system.
The final image integrates 24 × 120-second exposures, revealing both the faint inner coma and the surrounding star field. It captures a brief moment in the passage of a transient object that entered the solar system from interstellar space before returning to the depths between the stars.

Pictured here is part of the diffuse emission Nebula Gamma Cygni, otherwise known as The Butterfly Nebula. Nearby, a dark nebula is visible, which is a region of dust and non-gaseous debris so dense that it blocks the light from behind it from our view. Surrounding this dark nebula are regions of emission nebula, which are gasses ionized by the radiation from nearby stars. The electrons in the individual atoms of hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements become excited by the radiation of nearby stars and achieve higher states of energy. When these electrons eventually drop back to their preferred energy states, they do so by releasing the excess energy in the form of a photon of light with a wavelength that corresponds to both the elements and the energies for their ionization. Rich in this nebula is Hydrogen-alpha (Ha) the signature wavelength of interstellar hydrogen gas being ionized by young, hot stars.

A little microspace build I made over at Sarah's house. It's an alternate to the Mini Republic Gunship, no added pieces.
I've had this sitting around for a while now, so I thought it was time to post it.
I really like the bow/bridge portion of the ship. It would be a fun thing to try to recreate on a SHIP.
