    I think this is a good place to mention the infamous lost painting on the Salyut-7 space station with a crucified cowboy, a naked woman and a crying horse: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-painting

      EDIT: After reading the entire comic, I feel it’s important to mention the crucified cowboy also has a gun pointed at his head, with the trigger tied to his… well… you know. Which is why he’s not too happy about the naked woman.

      And no, it does not make sense in context.

    This is beautiful. I grew up in Miami and I’ve always been obsessed with the color gradation in the sky there, especially the eastern horizon when the sun is setting in the west. Leonov definitely knows what I mean.

    Space Exploration can be the warmth that thaws the cold hatred surrounding our hearts. Alexei Leonov sounds like a jam up guy and his art is beautiful.
