Description This is my piece for the SEND Help Project which was exhibited March 28th. I was invited and asked along with other artist participating to interpret the phrase "Send Help" in any medium we chose. The project was started and organized by a few friends of mine and was hosted at Creative Labs in Dumbo Brooklyn.

When they told me about the project, This is the first image that popped into my head. I guest you could say it is a spiritual successor to my sakura spaceman illustration. At first the piece started off being very light on color, But as I went along I started to really push the brightness of the colors. The little egg shape thing in my head is a droid and represents his last message in a bottle. Though some people said it reminded them of a grenade.

My behance page has more info on the project as well as progress shots. Here

This really reminds me of the movie "Memories", the "Magnetic Rose" episode. At the end the guy gets blasted out into space and he's got rose petals in his space helmet.
