Illustration Challenge: Weeks 12 - 15

Hello again! My word, it's been a while since my last post! For those of you who don't know, we moved from Japan--Land of the Rising Sun--to Virginia, and it has been quite an ordeal for the last few months. But we are finally moved in to our cozy little 1920s house, and I'm ready to get back on track with my art endeavors! During our move, I still was working on artwork for the 52-Week Illustration Challenge (a weekly themed drawing challenge that you can find here on Facebook), but I still have some catching up to do. In the meantime, I'll be more diligent in uploading the fruits of my labor. Hopefully it will bring a smile and some inspiration to your week! : )

He's majoring in astronomy and physics, and has a deep fascination for space. Did I mention that for his high school senior project he constructed this Apollo replica astronaut suit all by himself? It works, too.
