Space Cadet Graphics is my most personal mission yet. After rebuilding from a personal and financial rock bottom in my late fifties, this brand became my reconstruction—a place where the wonder I felt as a child of the sixties meets the resilience I’ve earned today. Every piece is a fragment of a life reclaimed, blending a vintage sense of discovery with the raw honesty of the journey.
Visual Transmissions
I view the world through a "high-tech telescope," using AI to harvest raw textures and cosmic patterns that I hand-assemble into digital collages. My work is a visual transmission from a realm where Siddhartha sits among the stars, UFOs cruise neon nebulae, and vintage rockets fuel the dreams of a new age.
The Two Pillars of the Cosmic Coin
I believe the peace of the Buddha and the wonder of the Space Age are two sides of the same coin. This vision is expressed through two distinct paths:
The Vision (Space Cadet Graphics): My digital studio where surrealism and retro-futurism collide. This is the home of the Cargo Bay—a gallery of artifacts that serve as portals to other worlds.
The Sanctuary (Soak Life): Even the most intrepid explorers must decompress. Soak Life offers handcrafted herbal bath teas and salts—like the cooling Mintwind or restorative Rosemother’s Brew—to turn your tub into a recovery portal.
Whether you travel by rocket ship, meditation, or art, the destination is the same: a state of total presence. The stars are just the beginning, and a simple soak is the path back home.
FAQs
What exactly is "Space Cadet Graphics"?
Space Cadet Graphics is a digital art realm where the wonder of a 1960’s childhood meets the infinite resonance of the cosmos. I specialize in digital collage, hand-assembling visionary landscapes from a "cast of characters"—a curated archive of vintage files and personal artifacts. By utilizing AI as a high-tech telescope to discover raw textures and cosmic patterns, I create a soulful Kodachrome aesthetic that bridges the past and the future. The result is a journey through psychedelic nebulae, featuring Buddhas, rockets, and UFOs designed to help you prepare for landing and prepare for life.
What does "Flow State" or "Visionary Art" mean?
This refers to art designed to be meditative and hypnotic. By using intricate patterns and "Cosmic Zen" imagery like the Buddha, these pieces are created to help you find your center and enter a state of calm focus while you explore the visual details.
Absolutely. I am 64 years old and a firm believer that creativity has no expiration date and you are never to old to start over. If you have a project that needs a cosmic or vintage touch, please reach out. We Space Cadets have to stick together!
I’m also a "Second Act" creator. Do you collaborate?
While I don’t practice Buddhism as a religion, I find great value in its iconography. To me, the imagery represents a state of mind rather than a set of dogmas. It’s a tool I use to ground myself and reset my mindset whenever life feels overwhelming or I’m feeling down.
