Description
ASTRA AND +
Meet ASTRA and ASTRA + ! No, they’re not astronauts prepping for adventures on Aquarius nor android visitors to Earth from Aries Prime. They’re manikins in doarte’s MADHOUSE MIDWAY Historical Society’s Department of Human Flight … a saga that started way back in Greek mythology when that geek Icarus decided to test his wax-wing invention in a leap off Mount Olympus. A flight, as you all know, that ended abruptly when sunshine melted his crazy creation,
ASTRA and + also represent something else … a contemporary art style popular with digital creators that combines past symbols with present forms better known as “STEAM PUNK “ ; ergo the old zeppelin revealed in the opened drapes … a replica of the Hindenburg dirigible that ended like Icarus when its hydrogen-filled tanks blew up when it attempted to land in New Jersey back in 1937.
So where are we? Well, just as we promised to include you in upcoming water-world explorations, we’ll use the doarte imagination to take you on our human quests to navigate the stars.
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR SYFY BUFFS… the nasal cone on +’s nose is another doarte technical triumph. It combines a special dust filter, radiation detector and radarscope to discover alien life forms on interplanetary expedition.

I love how truly alien looking those outfits are, and the splendid presentation of them--Doarte's Madhouse never fails to entertain and impress!

WOW! Thus you being a teacher, all that stuff jammed tight in your head, well - it's got to find an outlet somewhere - and what better place than here, in Cyber Arts land... fantastic imagination, blending of the old and new, eagerly setting us up to wonder, what's next from the Doarte's Madhouse?! Brilliant!
