Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic spacecraft has finally flown, to some fanfare and a lot of controversy the Virgin Galactic took its first commercial flight some weeks back.
Aesthetically it’s quite a pretty thing, something that looks quite swan like and graceful. Finding a picture that inspired me – I created this sketch.

There a few more pictures I took along the way that show the progress…
Along with that there’s a couple of small time lapse videos that you can find posted on my Instagram, these are pretty cool I think and if you like now you can find me you can follow more of my artistic exploits.
Let me know what you think… I would love to hear from anyone!

Very true Simon. An upheaval in the relationship with mainland Europe, a pandemic; together they are nearly equivalent to drawing a thick dark coloured marker line between the 21st centuries second decade (business as usual) and this one (where do we go from here?)

I have no idea where we go from here, but it’s going to be rocky I fear.
