The Baikonur Cosmodrome, located in the desert of Kazakhstan, was the world’s first and largest operational space launch facility. It turned 60-years-old earlier this month, and I would say that it’s seen better days. buy cenforce online https://pavg.net/wp-content/languages/en/cenforce.html no prescription

As you can see, there are remnants of two Buran spacecrafts still in the hangar. One of them, OK-1K2, nicknamed Ptichka (Little Bird), was almost ready for spaceflight in 1992, but the program was shutdown right before it was ready for launch. buy classic pack cialis online https://pavg.net/wp-content/languages/en/classic-pack-cialis.html no prescription
Cris Wiegandt is one of our favorite up-and-coming artists. She constructed the incredible Paper Space Shuttle & Paper Darth Vader Mask, and now she has created a Showreel of all of her work:
A special sort of whimsy permeates through the collection. Of course, I am a bit partial to the space-related paper crafts, but I truly enjoy the whole lot.
And here’s a GIF of the Paper Space Shuttle I put together from the video. It would say it’s a graphic metaphor for her career in art. Enjoy!

Check out the amazing work of Brazilian Artist, Cris Wiegandt. She hails from São Paulo, Brazil, but she has been living in Europe for the past 12 years (now based out of Berlin). She created this piece for the agency Ressourcenmangel GmbH for a business pitch, but unfortunately they didn’t win. Regardless of the business outcome, we are happy to have these lasting images of the meticulously crafted shuttle. buy sildenafil citrate tadalafil vardenafil online https://pavg.net/wp-content/languages/en/sildenafil-citrate-tadalafil-vardenafil.html no prescription
The gray background accents the soft palette quite nicely here. Something tells me Cris would have been very good at creating model cars/ships as a child…
I tracked down Cris through the interweb, and she was nice enough to answer a few questions about how she made it, and about her career as an artist.
How did you go about making the space shuttle? Was it modeled after a specific shuttle?
“[The company] sent me a picture of a space shuttle and the colors I should use. It was a picture found at google [space shuttle unknown]. I made the craft completely by hand. First I made some scribbles about how to build it together, the size of the parts and how to glue it. Then it was more or less just trying and putting everything together.”
What inspired you to enter the field of art?
“Definitly Michel Gondry and music, especially David Bowie, Björk and MPB (musica poplar brasileira).”
How did you choose to focus in animation and design?
All good spaceships must come to an end. Take a last look through these photos of the retired Space Shuttle Atlantis, which undertook 33 missions between the years of 1985 to 2011.
