This painting of the Starhopper with the single Raptor engine S/N 6, pays a tribute to the sucessful test flight in South Texas reaching 150m (490ft) altitude. This test platform is an inspirational milestone in Elon’s vision of reaching Mars with the Starship. A revolutionary interplanetary transprort system developed by SpaceX.
After last week’s post about how inspirational and awesome the Space X Starhopper test was, here comes a quick work-in-progress update from me.
Some initial background work has been completed, and the first lines of the structure have been painted in. Hold on tight guys, more to follow in upcoming week’s.
Starhopper / Canvas, Acrylic, Pastels
Australia has been burning for months. But even with millions of acres scorched, lives lost, homes destroyed, there seems to be no near end in sight.
An estimated 1 billion animals are thought to have been killed by the fires.
Aside from directly dying from the flames, a significant amount of animals have been killed due to dehydration, starvation and habitat loss.
This work is about those who have perished in the Fires.
Pastels / Mixed media
For the early months of 2020, there is an upcoming addition to the collection.
It will be a quirky rendition with mixed media pastels/acrylic, of the recent Elon Musk's Space X Starhopper test flight.
The test flight on the Texas coast reached 500 feet in altitude.
