It was around 3 am… in the middle of tearing down my old studio in Santa Barbara, I pulled down the seamless backdrop one more time for this series of portraits. Let diospex.tumblr.com commence.

Invested Landscapes

Relocated

I’ve recently moved to Los Angeles. In true starving-artist fashion, my friend and I rented a loft tucked away somewhere between two metal-recycling yards. I suppose this will be good for being industrious, as we have a lot of work to do. It’s a 20~foot wide x 60~foot long open space with big old redwood […]

It’s T – 0 Somewhere

It’s T- 0 Somewhere is a life size replica of the payload capsule from a Minuteman III nuclear missile. 52″ in diameter, and 150″ long (12′ 6″).

They were originally designed to carry three warheads […]

The message was sent using a 6-meter parabolic reflector with […]

NROL-25

Yesterday at 4:12:57 pm PST, a Delta IV rocket carrying a classified national security payload (aka: spy satellite..it’s a fancy radar..) took off from Vandenberg AFB. We had the pleasure of viewing the launch on base, just outside the three-mile exclusion zone around SLC-6. SLC-6 was originally designed to launch the Space Shuttle, but the […]
