Space Cadets Rule!

Riffing off old sci-fi movies and television shows, I've created Space Academy, a fun retro-line of papers, for Carta Bella Paper Company. Here are a few of the illustrations and products. They were all created using Illustrator CS, my software program of choice.

It is an homage to the pioneers of America's Great Space Race. I grew up during this amazing time. My Dad was a Quality Control Director with NASA and he worked on the Mercury, Apollo, Skylab and Spaces Shuttle missions. I loved listening to the behind the scenes stories about the missions that he shared with our family. His home office was decorated with beautiful posters of spacecraft and planets and framed letters from some of the astronauts that he had supported. This project is very dear to my heart.
