Prints now available for my NewSpace artwork

Last summer I mentioned here my artwork to which I’ve devoted a separate website at C. Sergent Lindsey. The works are primarily done with graphite, charcoal and color pencils and include topics such as SpaceStill Lifes and Portraits.

Some readers had asked about buying reproductions and so I’ve made a selection of  pieces available as prints from Fine Art America. I had professional scans made of the originals and Fine Art America uses these to make the prints. They offer mat and frame options. They also have greeting cards. I  currently have two galleries there: NewSpace and Color Still Lives.

I plan to keep expanding the series of NewSpace works to highlight the accomplishments of this exciting age of entrepreneurial spaceflight. Start your collection now! 

For Christmas gifts for those not so focused on space, please consider my still life drawings:

Short film video – “A spacefaring journey through the Indian countryside.”

Felipe Aguilar  points me to his short film Spacefaring in which he juxtaposes Indian village life with the country’s space aspirations:

“The Kepler Story” : The background of a one-man performance work about Johannes Kepler

Here is a SETI Institute Google Hangout discussion about the Kepler Story | California Academy of Sciences.

The work is described as follows:

As a one-man performance with dramatic supporting music and full dome visuals, the Morrison Planetarium in collaboration with Motion Institute presents The Kepler Story – an innovative, immersive performance piece about the life and story of 17th-century astronomer and mystic Johannes Kepler. The story of his life, including his discovery of the three laws of planetary motion which removed Earth once and for all from its position at the center of the Universe, took an even more dramatic turn when his mother was arrested for witchcraft and Kepler was forced to defend her. On the way to her trial, reading Galileo’s father’s book on harmony, Kepler experienced one of his greatest epiphanies about the harmony of the universe.

History, religion, passion and science intersect in this remarkable individual’s life with a performance in the Academy’s planetarium that has the capacity to elicit moments of transcendence as it enlivens your senses and stimulates your mind. We will explore Kepler’s unique capacity to integrate a worldview steeped in mysticism with a rigorous scientific perspective based on observation and experimentation.

The Kepler Story is produced by Motion Institute, a Bay Area nonprofit theater production company that offers audiences a singular view of current issues, presented in ways that are contemporary, unpredictable, and embedded in the narratives of their own lives. Written and directed by Nina Wise and performed by Norbert Weisser, a veteran film and stage actor, The Kepler Story integrates spectacular visuals developed by the Morrison Planetarium visualization studio and Toshi Anders Hoo, deeply moving music by composer and cellist Zoë Keating and sound design by Emmy Award winner Christopher Hedge.

Swedish artist Anders Ramsell has created a handmade watercolor version of the movie Blade Runner: Blade Runner, as recreated in 12,597 gorgeous watercolor paintings – io9 –

From the caption:

This animation consists of 12 597 handmade aquarelle paintings, each painting is approximately 1,5*3cm in size. Together they form my 35 minute long paraphrase on the motion picture Blade Runner (1982) by Ridley Scott.

“Blade Runner – The Aquarelle Edition” follows the original movie´s storyline but I have taken the liberty to change a lot of things. It was never my intent to make an exact version of the movie, that would fill no purpose. Instead I wanted to create a something different and never before seen — “The Aquarelle Edition”.

…So this one is dedicated to everybody with any kind of heart. Enjoy!
