Chris Wade | Ethereal Geometry Arts, Rocket Graveyards, and Creating Surreal Space Artwork

On this week's episode we are honored to have Chris Wade of Ethereal Geometry Arts in Hunstville, Alabama on People of Science!  Chris is an artist who works in surrealist style with and Aerospace Engineering, capturing the awe and wonder of his dreams finding abandoned rockets. Alex and Chris discuss the challenges of being an artist, making a living in your passion, and what it takes to get the creative works out of you and on a 'blank canvas', whatever the medium is. We learn about Chris' origin story and how it went from drawing jets, to being obsessed with the guitar & music, and then finding his passion to reenter the arts and start Ethereal Geometry! Please check out Chris' accounts to see his artwork, including some of his latest work making wacky Pet portraits in his surreal-space style. You can also visit him at the Lowell Mill in Huntsville (just give him a heads up you're coming by!) We really enjoyed hearing about how Chris' life has been interconnected with aerospace from a very young age, living in the 'Rocket City' and seeing all the amazing missile defense, ISS operations, and rocket test stands that have been active lately thanks to NASA's Space Launch System and Blue Origin buying one of the historic test stands of the Space Race. A great combination of Arts, Science, Technology, and Engineering to lead us to the Artemis 1 launch and the start of the Artemis Generation!
