I'm a British digital artist who draws animals in suits, and sometimes other things, too. I'm an anthropomorphic artist, a graphic designer, sometimes a photographer, a proud furry, and a self-proclaimed geek. I currently live in Devon where I like to photograph old buildings, draw raccoons and be socially awkward.

Artist Statement

This is probably my favourite space mission ever. The Venera probes were so important in the history of space travel, making so many firsts, and yet are almost completely forgotten. Venera were Russian probes sent to Venus, long before the first Mars rover. These were the first man-made objects ever to enter the atmosphere of another planet, the first to make a soft landing on another planet, and the first ever to send back photos of another planet's surface. All this, and yet, they are almost unknown. My design is based on the photos from the Venera probes. It uses the bright green colours the photos have due to Venus' atmosphere, and have elements based on parts of the probes themselves, as seen in their own photos. — Ben Farrow
