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.

Baja Blast counts as space art 🚀
90% complete! I am wrapping up the background “stickers” now after painting bubbles for like a solid 5 days lol.
I know everyone loves my nebulae & planet pieces (so do I), but this year I’ve been experimenting with different types of space art to expand my skills + challenge myself. Painting new materials or interesting lighting. I’ve done a foil sun balloon, vintage pinball game, crystal star & moon, and now a bubbly drink!

Oh wow, I went on a side quest teaching myself linocut and recorded absolutely nothing 😆. Think I am getting the hang of it!

Happy Pizza Friday! The year is 1977. A lone Gravitron receives the Wow! signal. I was kinda keeping the idea behind this painting a secret because it’s not close to being finished yet, but the new Muse album came out today & is called the Wow! Signal. That’s fun!
So yeah, going for eerie liminal space-type vibes with this one. My original plan was to make it look like an old photo with film grain. I will worry about that later 😆

Most of my paintings are science-y, but every once in a while I like to add a touch of whimsy. I felt compelled to paint Rocky from Project Hail Mary in a field of dandelions. Amaze!
I’ve been working like crazy and haven’t recorded much lately so sorry lol. But I’ll be back to working on oil paintings soon and promise to film more science + art videos! ⭐️

40 Eridani is a triple star system ~16 light years from Earth. One of the stars, 40 Eridani A, is a K-type star less luminous than our Sun. That’s real life. In sci-fi, a planet orbits that star called Erid. Rocky’s home world from Project Hail Mary and the subject of this painting.
BUT ALSO in sci-fi, a planet orbits that star named Vulcan. Wait a second. Eridians & Vulcans are neighbors! That is something fun I discovered while painting this. I am a huge Star Trek fan and planetary astrophysicist, but I never realized where Vulcan was lol smh

Here’s the link with directions so you can find your favorites too! Best viewed on a pc. Give it a sec to load.

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.
