Science meets art.

Hi, I'm Laci, a planetary astrophysicist who went rogue. I studied clouds in brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres then I said bye to academia and started an art business. All my paintings are inspired by space and science.

Looking for that perfectly nerdy piece of art? Join my email list to stay in the loop when new originals and prints are available.

Project Hail Mary was visually stunning & tickled both my science + art brain perfectly! Had to stop work on my oil paintings this week to paint a couple acrylic minis inspired by the movie. Gotta ride the creativity wave when it happens! I want to paint a couple more 🫣. Soooo many people asked, so I’ll do some prints when I finish.

This painting may look like kid art, but I still snuck in some science šŸ¤“. I chose the colors for Earth’s atmosphere based on a real image taken from astronauts aboard the ISS. Today I worked on the shadows between these sections. Starting to look like paper!

I think it took me a couple hours today for just those shadows because it requires blending a gradient of ~3 colors with tiny brushes in a very small area. So far so good!

I have…so many paintings in the works right now lol. All space themed of course, from a toilet paper roll space shuttle to a Baja Blast! I’m waiting on a tool for my next multi-spectral painting (hint: Pismis 24).

Soon I will have enough $$ saved up to finish fabric Jupiter! Many of you joined me from that video. I am also considering getting a small camera to wear during painting to film POV time lapses & post long-form videos. Idk though. Would that be fun? I might fidget too much to strap a camera to my head 🫣

I started this painting today! This is about 3 hours of work & the first layer. Sorry I totally forgot to record anything this week, which explains my lack of videos šŸ˜…

Look how fun my latest painting is! Coming along nicely. It’s a mini pinball game from the 70s. I wanted to create space art that wasn’t my typical nebula or planet. I’ll still be doing those of course, they just take a while to dry in between layers.
