    So honored to be the subject of your latest work of art! Brings back so many memories of the last 5 years and all the hard work that went into making our flight successful. Your artistic talent never ceases to amaze me. Already can’t wait to see your next project!

    My latest art quilt is ’s SpaceX crew photo! I used a picture of Earth he took from ISS as inspiration for the background. Our son Jack proposed the idea of making Doug B&W with only the flag on his shoulder colored. Perfect! Medium: fabric & thread, 21.5” square.
