I was at #AirandSpace this weekend.
I was pleasantly surprised that the "Destination Moon" exhibit finally (for the SI) recognized the vital role non-white non-dudes played in that #coldwar tech flex. (TBH I'm a huge #Apollo nerd)
Is this history destined for the #memorychute? Again?

Glad to see the #AirAndSpace museum in DC is done with renovations with the new lobby and most exhibits!

Second pass on the hair. I especially like the lighting on the right side. Second pass on the background tomorrow

Deepening the shadows in the background to correct contrast before the second pass. Split complement color schemes are my absolute favorite

Finished the first pass. In the early stages like this things tend to look delightfully abstract

Early update today. Finished the first pass on the hair, the rest of the skin tones, and started on the shadows of the shirt. More tomorrow

The start of a new project
Sketched a little close to the sun on this one and now I'm tempted to leave it as-is (I never do). Follow along for updates

Top down view of the Air France Concord - the museum is so jam packed that planes are literally stuck in underneath this beast. A Boeing 707 is in the background

And the beauty of the Concord will never be surpassed.

An early rocket which was a huge leap forward in rocket technology. This led to the Mercury Program advances, then of course the Apollo moon program
One of the rockets my wife's great uncle's team designed.
William Pickering was not only a Kiwi legend but pivotal in the US Space program. Latterly heading the famous JPL in Pasadena California

Deoxys, an orange-and-teal DNA alien Pokémon, stands atop the outstretched solar panel of the prototype Mars rover (Sojourner/Pathfinder) on display at the National Air & Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center.
Shiny Charizard, a charcoal-colored dragon Pokémon, dives through the air in the gigantic hangar of the National Air & Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center, where three airplanes including a full-sized Boeing airliner are on display behind it
Drifloon and Drifblim, purple-red-white-and-yellow balloon Pokémon, float happily in the air in the huge hangar that is the National Air & Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center. Behind them is a purple-red-and-white Federal Express jet airplane on display.
In the massive hangar of the National Air & Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center, hang gliders and other small sport aircraft are on display, suspended in the air. Soaring alongside them is Aerodactyl, a grey pterosaur Pokémon, with its wings spread in parallel to the nearest hang glider.
So yeah, yesterday I saw my friend out in Chantilly, Ms. Spacemuseum—or as her friends call her, “Erin.”

Did you think it was the Aaron Space Museum too? #smithsonian #museum #airandspace
Space-age architecture at the entrance of the National Air and Space Museum
This was my all-time favorite #museum when I was a kid, which I thought was named for a guy called Aaron Space. I always wanted the astronaut ice cream as a souvenir. #washingtondc #bluesky #spaceage #airandspace #urban #architecture #smithsonian #photography
