Space, Art And Music.

I am a fan of all three.

Who can forget the music from 2001 a space odyssey?  The images, technology, but the music made everything so real and visceral.

The Art Vinyl company created the award 2004 and lets the public vote for their favorite album art.

Big TV by White Lies

This past years award went to Michael Kagan for his 2010 work titled Pilot 2 that was used on the cover of White Lies’ Big TV album.

Surfing the Void by The Klaxons

Other space related album art has won in the past.  In 2010, the Klaxons’ album Surfing the Void won for its cat in an astronaut suit album cover.  I’m not sure if it really qualifies as space related, but hey, its a cat in a space suit.

PINUP Art by Paul Linsley

It could have been Catanauts and Dogonauts, just as long as everyone gets along.  Check out the Dogonauts kickstarter page here.

SPACE!

This post is specifically for my niece Jennifer (she is an artist, and a good one at that).  Anyway, the title of this post is also the name of a new art exhibit here in California.

The show is being held at Gallery 1988: West.

Opening the show opening had special guest Bobak Ferdowsi, a NASA systems engineer at JPL who is best known as “Mohawk Guy” after he was captured with his star spangled Mohawk during Curiosities landing on Mars.  Let’s face it, he does rock the look.

The show runs through Saturday, July 20, closing on the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.  So if you are in the area, check it out, you might end up with some new artwork for your home or office.
