I'm really happy with this vendor and will definitely be exploring other merch types in the future, like prints and acrylic charms. So as always, if you'd like to turn any of my designs into a physical object, just let me know :)

Snippet…

I try to get hold of his arms to stop him from leaving like this—the pain and hurt in his eyes will kill me eventually but for right now I need to try and fix it—it’s instinct, the bond urging me to fix it no matter the cost.

“Just stop, Eris!”

“Why? What is the fuck is the point? Nothing, absolutely nothing is going to change! You are not going to change!”

“No, I’m not!” I say unapologetically, “Why is that so bad? Why do you want to fix something that isn’t broken?”

“Not broken? The only reason you’re not breaking is because I am! And I can’t do it anymore!”

“Can’t do what?” I ask stoically, building my guard up.

“This! I can’t fight a lost battle anymore! Us! It’s a lost cause!” He yells tears sliding down his face.

“We are not a lost cause, Eris! I-“ but he cuts me off,

“Why won’t you fight for us?” He whispers. His voice trembles, fear, and dread evident in them.

“There’s nothing worth the fight,” I say the same lie I’ve been feeding him for the last five centuries. But unlike the rest of the time he doesn’t winnow away. I watch him as he picks up the pieces of his soul that I shattered little by little over the past five centuries. He straightens his slumped shoulders and wipes his tear-streaked face with the back of his hand. I watch as he burns his pain, his sadness, and his love until his eyes become the graveyard of what was once brightest and joyful.

He closes his eyes and lets go of the part of his soul that held his love for me and I stand a silent audience as mourns his love and grief. After everything is said and done, I don’t recognize the male standing in front when he opens his eyes and it terrifies me.

He nods slightly and turns to walk away.

“This is it, isn’t it? For us!”

“This is it, shadowsinger!”

"The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore we've learned most of what we know. Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of starstuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." -- Carl Sagan

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He was the dorky school kid who spent his weekends at the Australian Museum. Gary studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on a career in journalism and radio broadcasting. His radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. Gary’s first gigs were spent as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist, and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary was appointed Science Editor and quickly developed the StarStuff Astronomy show, which he wrote, produced, and hosted. The program proved extremely popular, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience -- based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. That compares to the ABC’s overall radio listenership of 5.6 per cent. The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times a week (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and it’s available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

Stardust VI Oil, 20 x 16 in, 2017 “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” -Carl Sagan

It’s one of the most poetic truths of our scientific reality: the heavy elements that we are made of weren't created at the beginning of time. Only hydrogen, helium, and lithium were immediate results of the Big Bang. The rest of the elements were created in the nuclear furnaces of earlier generations of stars that have since exploded and spread their material across the universe. We are literally made of stardust.

This was a really important piece to me. I list my childhood cat when I went into the Army in 2008. I painted this as something of a memorial to him. The night sky is drawn from a night I picked in December 2003
