I love astronomy and I think that the universe is the ultimate artist – it is an incredible source of inspiration to me. I am so fascinated with the cosmos and all the possibilities of finding other earth-like worlds – even in our own Milkyway galaxy.

Yesterday I decided to paint my own planet, which I’ve made to look somewhat similar to our world but incapable of supporting life from Earth. This planet would be 3-times the mass of Earth and is surrounded by rings of diamond-rich asteroids. The 4 moons create enormous tides in its seas of liquid argon. The argon atmosphere ignites with light caused by surges of radiation from a nearby pulsar. If this planet could support any form of life, they’d possibly be kind of flat and luminescent from the electrified atmosphere.

I’m planning on painting a landscape based off of this planet soon!

Thanks for taking a look! :)
