Love the work, but I really hate when an artist feels they have to BS their way through a mission statement or process explanation. It boils down to “I made a pretty picture” or “I’d rather not say”. Leave it at that rather than dump a bunch of extraneous filler on us.

Great images – I love the space art & imagining what these amazing new found worlds might be like.

Personally, I *do* like reading the artists thoughts and the scientific background behind the paintings & yeah, I know a lot of it is speculative educated guesswork.

Thanks for this little gallery.
