Blast from the Past: this vintage sign shows the excitement of the Space Age!

Travel back to a time when space exploration captured our imaginations and arcade games were the pinnacle of fun. This captivating Space Age sign, with its vibrant yellow backdrop and dynamic spaceship design, once set the scene for the thrilling Space Shot shooting gallery arcade game. Adorned with swirling galaxies, distant planets, and a cratered moon, it’s a perfect emblem of mid-20th-century fascination with outer space adventures.

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I post a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.

Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
