Is my favorite movie of all time. It influenced my career path and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about it.

I plan more projects related to it. Recently I have made the Starchild, Moon Watcher and of course the huge Space Station model for the Museum of Modern Art in my hometown San Francisco. Not to mention my friend Adam Savage’s same obsession with the film that lead him to getting both a Moonwatcher and a Starchild from me.

2001 stands alone as the best Sci-Fi film ever made. Nothing compared and can’t because it’s in it’s own category from the genius of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke.

I did this a while ago and at that time had meant to start a series of space art and aerospace paintings.

I’m also in the process of doing some some spacecraft models. Gemini, Mercury Redstone and some really cool Von Braun concept designs Wernher did in the 50’s. In particular the Space Ferry he designed the year I was born.

I plan to do a painting of that and an actual model from scratch that will also fly under rocket power. Something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid.

I already started designing the model in a program called Open Rocket. This program allows one to not only design the rocket but test it in simulation before you build it. It helps predict the physics of the model, the CG, COP, and more.

Art and science mixed together is making at it’s best for me.

The next art show and line of work is going to be space art. I was born in 1952. Wernher Von Braun just designed the famous Space Ferry Rocket. He created a future I have always been part of and rockets to space were always my first love.

The alien art will remain but be put on a separate page soon you’ll be able to access from the menu. Remember this is not a blog but a website.

More about all this soon.
