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. doarte Thank you for your responses … trying to catch up on your wonderful imagery … been away with family problems.

Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. -K. O. Eckland

It is always a delight to peer into the window of your imagination. With warmth, Terry
