Astronaut With Camera

Description

Original image found in the Apollo 13 archive and used under NASA copyright agreements; they rock and are a big inspiration to me. They need - nay, deserve - the funding and support they ask for. Guy in the suit here is astronaut Fred Haise.

Whew. All disclaimering out of the way...

This is a trace done in Adobe Illustrator, in a slackerly way, over the course of a few weeks; I am a lazy ass when it comes to dragging anchor points. The original photo was taken during some of the suit and gear tests done in a desert, which I guess is as close to the lunar landscape as they can get, not counting industrial north Jersey at two in the morning. I am fascinated with space, especially the lunar missions. What a ride that would be!
