Rose Galaxy
This is my first attempt at space art.
Some facts about our universe and some new concepts in today's world of cosmology:
* The age of our universe or more precisely the time since the Big Bang expansion is estimated to be 13.7 billion years.
* There are about 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe, each able to accomodate billions of stars.
* Our universe will decay either thru rapid expansion (imaging blooming of a flower) into nothingness or it may collapse and we will tunnel out of space/time. However, that is still a long way to go...
* String theory and cosmic chaotic inflation have given rise to the possibility of infinite multiuniverses around us - no longer fiction or a far-fetched idea :)
* Though we are anchored to this one observable universe, we are continually differentiating into many versions of ourselves, even as I paint/write this, out there in other dimensions or as we say, other 'realities' with different sets of 'physical' laws.
* If this is true, it will inevitably lead us to the fundamental question: Is this universe created by intelligent design for us only or is this seemingly bio-friendly part of the universe created out of randomness from an infinite number of multiverses?
Because no one really knows for sure, a little humour is necessary:
We are not only given free lunch (our existing universe) but we are also served free lunch with all possible dishes you can ever imagine (multiverses), except that you won't be able to taste them at this point in time/space, if ever.

Pandora Rainforest Paradise
In the movie Avatar, Jake Sully successfully completed his ritual path that a Navi chose that culminated in bonding with an ikran, a native bird found in one the many floaty Hallelujah Mountains.
Greatly influenced by the magnificient views of Pandora, a rainforest paradise that only the magic of film and digital art can produce.
Thanks 4watching!
