Michael C. Jansen, for three decades an engineer at Johnson Space Center, sits before a computer display, stretches with his right hand for a mouse and begins to draw as though he was working with sketch pad or canvas. The inspiration for his space-themed creations flows as passionately through Microsoft PowerPoint as it once did through pencil and brush. Jansen&#8217;s struggle with Parkinson&#8217;s disease, which was diagnosed in mid-career, changed much in his life. He decided to switch direction and do what he felt was most important to him while he could\u2014and that was art.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to his innovative use of PowerPoint to steady his artistic stroke, a painstaking commitment to realism in his imagery and a supportive workplace, Jansen creates NASA-sponsored creations in support of space station. His latest pieces include a commemorative logo, poster and patch in celebration of humankind&#8217;s first permanent off-Earth presence with the Russian element Zarya launch 15 years ago this November. This video shows Jansen&#8217;s creative process as he creates art with a computer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cool video depicting the steps in photo-realistic drawing with PowerPoint by NASA artist Michael C.
