The world renowned Museum of Flight in Seattle invited me to create an
original space art mural for their new space exhibit. The completed mural
is now featured prominently in the planetary exploration section of the
Museum’s new space exhibit which opened to the public on June 10, 2007.

My digital image (shown at left) has been printed to a size of 16-feet tall
by 8-feet wide and covers a wall of the exhibit. The planets are drawn to
scale with Jupiter being 5-feet wide.

The museum requested that I create as accurate a representation as
possible, so the solar system mural is complete with all eight planets,
three dwarf planets, plus the Sun and our Moon.

I hope those of you in the Seattle area will have the chance to enjoy this
artwork of astronomical proportions in person. The space exhibit has been
added as a permanent display at the museum.  Just “planet” in your schedule.
