Rocket Boy
Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture on March 9, 2010
I am so amused and charmed by Norio Fujikawa’s Rocket Boy — he gets bonus points for being a fellow northern Californian (albeit, far more southerly than my part of northern California.) Rocket Boy reminds me a bit of the title character in Opoona, an RPG for the Wii (I’ve been watching my husband play it, it’s a really neat game. Great soundtrack!)
Found via Curved White.
Space-Rated Paints
Posted by Danielle in Advertising & Media on February 2, 2010
Okay, so I found an ad I wanted to post after all, because the thought of using space-rated paint at home is SO amusing to me. Y’know, just in case some random part of your interior or exterior decides to launch at rocket speeds… better yet, in case you happen to host a rocket launch in your home!

Saw these on Vintage Ad Browser. Bit of a rivalry going on here, take your pick: liquid or solid propellants.
Rockets, rockets everywhere

EVERYONE knows that rockets are hep, so to see a few rocket-y logos in this aggregate article of awesome doesn’t surprise me a bit. (Alliteration is also hep.)
Logos link to the site of their creator, or a purchase point to buy the rights.
This one comes with brand AND domain; can be purchased together or separately.
My favorite.

Spiral Rocket Lightshow
Posted by Danielle in News & Happenings on December 9, 2009
Double-posting today, too awesome not to pass on: last night, what you see above appeared over the skies of Norway. This is not an aurora, and NOT Photoshop, as there are many witnesses, videos and photos. Phil Plait at Bad Astronomy has the explanation (most likely, a rocket/missile gone awry; if you’re not convinced, watch the video at the bottom), Gizmodo has collected the pictures and a video, and The Daily Mail has eyewitness interviews and more videos (and photos with credit, which I borrowed.) I learned about this initially from Space Weather, and despite it likely being a man-made phenomenon, it’s still quite a sight to behold!

I owe Sci-Fi-O-Rama a lot for introducing me to the artwork of Chris Foss. It’s fantastic stuff, I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried!

Cool Rockets
Posted by Danielle in Collectibles on November 13, 2009
I just can’t get enough of Aaron’s Tin Toy Arcade and their amazing selection of rockets! Here, have some rocket-spam for your Friday.
I was surprised to find the Space Patrol Coin Bank, as I’ve seen an illustration of it before — I think Discover ran it as their cover a year or two back, alluding to some sort of “Can NASA Get Their Act Together?” feature article (paraphrased.) The cover art is on a collage-covered notebook I made about a year ago, front and center.

Shimmering Rocket
Posted by Danielle in Children's Items on November 9, 2009
This night light rocks my world. It’s part of “Lights in the Night” by Seasons of Cannon Falls, seems to be available here and there, possibly at Target, Amazon, etc etc.
(Image from Tin Toy Arcade because they had the best photo and the best price!)
Our adorable large Red Rocket glows at night in your space shuttle or earthbound bedroom. Just plug in the swivel base into a standard outlet to illuminate to red plasma and floating glitter. As the rocket warms up the glitter will slowly dance through the red liquid. The rocket is silver with blue and red, retro space details.
Stitchy Rocket

A whimsical canvas picture — it looks stitched to me.
