Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Belts by Anthony Cooke, 2012

Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Lanes looks out into the deep sky to see "the spaces between the words..." While not usually considered independently, many of the apparent dark ‘voids’ in space are among the most compelling telescopic destinations.

My most recently completed image: the Cocoon Nebula and surrounding dust. This image used data from last summer, and this summer for a total of about 19 hours. I may eventually add more data, but for now it's on to new things.

This is my painting "Green dancers nebula", a region of space that looks like two pairs of legs, two bodies, and two arms joined together.

This is my digital painting "Galactic lanes in blue", the same as the earlier gold version but, well, blue. Somehow it makes everything look spacier.

This is my painting "Blue galactic knot", the same twisty stellar lanes that I had previously painted, but blue. Arguably it looks spacier.

This is my digital painting "Galactic lanes", a vision of a densely-packed golden core of a galaxy defined by dark clouds of gas and dust.

This is my digital painting "Pouty jack-o-lantern dark nebula", an earlier painting in a different color, looking quite spooky, Halloween-like, but also cute I think!

This is my digital painting "Pouty dark nebula", showing thick clouds of gas and dust clearing out in a pattern reminiscent of a cute pouting face.
