My First Planetary Poster Series

August 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Just a small diversion on the final days of the campaign. This whole drawing planets thing goes back for me many years. Shown below are four moons of Jupiter: Amalthea, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. (Yes, I did do Io, I just didn't find it). I... (Read More)

Galileo Update, Still Not Done!

August 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Galileo Design in Progress #2 So it is the day I expected to post the final… close but still hours away. Since this is the last planned poster of the series, I figured why not post the progress along the way… Mostly work on Galileo itself, so... (Read More)

Poster #9: Galileo

August 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Poster #9: Galileo at Jupiter There are actually still many surgical revisions to make. But this is pretty close to the final. Some additional touches include adding details to make sure Galileo pops out from the busy area of clouds behind it…... (Read More)

Poster #9: Galileo Progress

August 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Galileo in Production Looking at the progress so far… just thinking this might be fun to post as I make my way toward the final in the series. Not to mention all the insane line work in the cloud-tops makes for some pretty cool looking wire... (Read More)

Poster #9: Sketch For Galileo in the Jupiter System

July 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Poster #9: Sketch for Galileo @ Jupiter Lots of sketches for Galileo. The issue I am having is between a dynamic layout and accuracy. All of the above scenes are impossible. If you see Io at that scale with Jupiter beyond anywhere near that scale…... (Read More)

Poster #8: Final Design for Rosetta/Philae

July 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Poster #8: Rosetta / Philae So here is the final design for the Rosetta/Philae mission. Same as the rest, this design will be available as a 20x36" screen print or as a archival digital print at 13x19" or 17x22". So tweet this update to @Philae2014... (Read More)

Poster #8: Sketch For Rosetta/Philae

July 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Poster #8: Sketch for Rosetta/Philae Poster #8: Sketch for Rosetta/Philae Here is what we are thinking for the Rosetta/Philae poster (see above). We may still tweak the spacecraft to point downward more so we are seeing much more of the top. This... (Read More)

Poster #7: Final Design for New Horizons

July 20th - via: kickstarter.com
Poster #7: New Horizons at Pluto Not too many big changes. There may be some fussing with some textures here and there still in the future… but this should represent the final design for Poster #7 and New Horizons at Pluto. So let me know if you... (Read More)

New Horizons Update #6: Getting Close

July 18th - via: kickstarter.com
Update #6 What's new? A completely redrawn Charon Updated Hydra, although I don't think either Hydra or Nix would ever be located as it is in this arrangement (not to mention viewed by New Horizons in this way). Perhaps I should just exclude it? ... (Read More)

Pluto Color Projection and a Small Design Update

July 16th - via: kickstarter.com
I am absolutely floored by what we are seeing at Pluto. A small body — far, ever so far away from the warmth of it’s Sun that somehow generates enough of it’s own energy to produce a considerable amount of geologic activity. There are very few... (Read More)

Posters #8 and #9 will be Rosetta and Galileo

July 15th - via: kickstarter.com
The top two are pretty much as I expected. I am very happy that the Jupiter System and a non-planetary object will be rounding out the themes featured in the full series. Have to say that I am suprised at the gap between Rosetta and Galileo, but... (Read More)

New Horizons Update #4: Pluto as Seen on July 13

July 14th - via: kickstarter.com
Pluto and Charon as seen by New Horizons on July 13, 2015 New Horizons completed it’s closest approach to Pluto a few hours ago… this reminds me of the Voyager encounter at Neptune and Triton in 1989. But there are so many differences apart from... (Read More)

July 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Pluto as seen from New Horizons on July 11 NOTE: This is a rough update based upon new data recieved July 11, 2015. The final design will be based upon the closest flyby images and will be much more carefully illustrated. This update is based on... (Read More)
