Rocket Ranch 1998


We went to Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral...who wouldn't? While we were there we visited the display known as the "Rocket Ranch," where replicas of NASA's early astronaut voyages were planted and secured by guy wires. Some of these full-size rockets have old Mercury and Gemini space capsules at the top. My friends gave me a lot of time to do this and  I added lots of detail. I've always wondered why rockets are white with geometric black markings on them. The smudgy part near the center of the drawing is my Photoshop restoration of the middle of the sketchbook, the "spine." 

Black ink on sketchbook page, 8" x 8 1/2", January 26, 1998. Now you know just what I was doing on that date.
