@Reverend_Makers Exactly why I painted it 👌

[Mark Batty @MarkBattyArt]

@ThePlanetaryGuy I painted this photo with oils and included paint I made from Martian meteorites!

Saturn’s really just carrying its own little solar system

Thank you @EghamMuseum it's a pleasure to work with you!
It's important to work this fast when I'm painting something 12 light years across

[The Egham Museum @EghamMuseum]

We’re so lucky to have @MarkBattyArt help us with our Egham Visions project.

One of the reasons we were keen to work with him was because he’s super efficient at work ... look how fast he works ...👇

Do give him a follow - he does lovely cosmic art ☺️

@UniverCurious Incredible image! I painted this version using ground hematite (also found on Mars) which I made into oil paint

PIGMENT TEST
Testing sulphur and orpiment oil paints I made for studies of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io.
The most active geological body in the solar system, volcanic plumes have been measured as high as 165km, which is roughly 18 times taller than Mount Everest!

[Mark Batty @MarkBattyArt]

3. Orpiment is an arsenic sulphide that forms in volcanic fumaroles on earth. It is thought it would be found on Io under the same conditions. Bc of its toxicity it made sense to buy it already ground. It produces the most brilliant golden yellow colour.

Since Boris Johnson is now so keen that we do not "photo shop" British history, I thought I would take a minute to tell the full, unedited story of that crowning achievement of Britain's past, the Industrial Revolution:

[The Lucky Heron @LuckyHeronSay]

Far-right white men smashing up Central London, doing hitler salutes, wearing “white lives matter” t-shirt’s, pissing on memorials and attacking the police.

The British media: "scuffles involving anti-black lives matters protesters"🧐

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

#BLM pulled off a 4D chess move by cancelling their protest today.

The far-right have exposed their racism, hypocrisy and violence all by themselves.

Despite no protest to counter, they're attacking police anyway.
