My latest artwork - two astronauts exploring the surface of Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus. Plumes from the subsurface ocean are lit up by the dim sunlight.

Digital painting, @blender.org and Photoshop, 2026.

Any cool ideas for what the mission should be called?

The Evacuation of Space Base Baxter, particularly this page. Is the only one I don't think I could do again.

The color grading actually working as depth perception, this well, and discretely... That was luck.

The Economist is the newspaper of the Epstein Class, and Gavin Newsom is the Epstein Class's pick to continue and depoliticize Trump's abhorrent policies and move them out of the realm of political debate and into the realm of bipartisan agreement

Enceladus NAC view, 640 000 km distance, 164 deg phase.

2009-03-21 RED+BL1 composite.

The brightness of the background and Enceladus' disk is due to the E ring particles forward-scattering light.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Note: "Captain" is not a rank, but a title which exclusively refers to a ship's designated commander.

Aiming to capture the big shapes, proportions and the idea of the subject.

Been loving some of these jet engines lately. Looking forward to make more of these!
