A breakdown of Jupiter and it’s Galilean moons.

See the amazing storms and skies from the surface in our safe custom designed land and air vehicles and visit the Dome Hotel on that planet.

A map of voyager 1’s journey through space.

A few years ago I experienced the most beautiful night sky ever on Aitutaki, a small island lost in the Pacific, part of the Cook Islands. Never have I seen so many stars in my life, it was as if I was floating in the middle of the Milky Way (well, technically we are :) ). As I was staring into the night I couldn't help myself wonder if there were anyone else on the other side of the Universe staring at a similar but different star filled sky. What if, somewhere, other beings would also be amazed by their night sky? Maybe they would have a different type of moon, or would be facing strange planets? This is what inspired me this illustration :) But to be a reminder of my memories, the constellation represented are actually the ones I saw on that night of 2015.

With all of the countries and private corporations rushing to the Moon, Mars and other planets, I felt this depiction wasn’t too far from non-fiction.

This is the map of a mysterious planet located within the Kuiper Belt, a field of comets near the outer solar system. It is inhabited by alien creatures who feed on purple, glowing particles called Twilits to survive, allowing them to use magic to create entire continents and oceans.

I wanted to give the planets little personalities of their own, whilst having fun with the notion of gravity. I used a selection of vintage and existing fabrics, and accessorised the planets using crochet, trims and tassels. It is housed within a handmade diorama lined with inky corduroy that has been decorated with tiny felt stars and French knots.

Dedicating this magical illustration to my favourite story book from my childhood 'The Little Prince' by French writer and aviator, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published in 1943. Despite this story being nearly 80 years old; it holds infinite knowledge about life, a forever store of wisdom and most importantly, teaches us about love. About kindness, respect towards nature and our beautiful world, looking from above the stars as he looks around the planets and tells his story, teaching a lesson planet by planet. Not only it is a book about all the most important things in life but it lets us believe in innocent imagination like we did when we were children. “All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”

A whimsical and bright alternate universe, just on the other side of a black hole.

'A dwarf planet, that's what Pluto is', quipped my 6yo. OMG so the mnemonic 'My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets is no longer valid!' That messy space is typically a scene at home when we are searching for something. We come across everything else than what we were searching for. Lol!
