Soggy Story

It's getting rainy outside, so Andrew starts to open an umbrella as he's stepping out. Andrew: I'm heading to the store. Need anything? He starts to open his umbrella. Anni: Well, we're running low on... No, wait-! An enourmous amount of water (along with a few small sea critters) dumps out from inside the umbrella, thouroughly soaking Andrew. He calmly surveys the situation, while Anni shifts around uncomfortably. Andrew: Why? Anni: An unfortunate incident involving some camels from the zoo and a kumquat. Andrew: Just get a mop.

Probably should have put a warning label on that thing, or something.

Funnily enough, my town got hit by some flooding right after I started drawing this. As far as I know, neither is related to the other except by coincidence.
Probably.

Colorful puppy dogs play in the starry sky

I painted this a while back, and decided to post it because why not? We all need some happy, colorful space puppies in our lives, right?

Astronomical Robotics Titles

Rocket scientists need a love for exploring the unknown, expertise in math and engineering, and the ability to create awesomely improbable acronyms. Displayed are the probes SELENE, MESSENGER, IKAROS, DSCOVR, THEMIS, OSIRIS-REx... "...JUICE?" "Funny story."

What, you thought I was joking?
It should be interesting to see what kind of press the "JUpiter ICy moons Explorer" gets once it's launched (scheduled for 2022).

A handy diagram of how geysers work.
