Space Art 4 - Hardware

Since the 1960s, space probes have enormously improved our understanding of our humble corner of the galaxy, and like other artists I have used these resources to help visualise the Sun, planets, asteroids, comets and moons with which we share our home. This gallery shows some of the work I have done which features these robotic envoys, such as Cassini, Juno or New Horizons. I am also a big fan of science fiction, so some of the hardware in this section is made up.
