UPDATE: OCTOBER 2019
Updated note – this post was originally intended for my original planet globes, which are no longer available. At the moment I am working on a new line of planets, which are not yet ready for sale as of this writing.
My apologies for any confusion. You can follow my progress on my blog, and as soon as the new globes are ready to order I will post them.
Thank you for understanding – Christopher Doll
Original Post:
Planet Globes are now available in the Space Art Store! I am making these available now after the wonderful feedback I’ve received from everyone about these little planets that I’ve been painting.
I am starting with three planets – Jupiter, Mars, Earth (with a small moon in scale) – and the Earth’s Moon. Each is 2 1/2″ in diameter, painted with artist-grade acrylics and sealed. The core is a hardwood sphere that adds a nice weight to it.
Each globe comes with a small ring for desktop display, and I’m offering two additional display options – an eyelet for hanging the globes, as well as a larger deluxe display.
I have a number of these ready to go now, but I’ll also be taking pre-orders over the next few weeks. Be advised that once I run out of the globes that I have on hand it may take up to two weeks for your order to be completed.
What’s Next?
I am working on several variations of these globes, different sizes and a set that will be roughly in scale with each other. These will be posted to my various social outlets as they are finished so be sure to follow me on Space Art by Christopher Doll on Facebook, Christopher Doll on Twitter, and Christopher Doll on Instagram for updates.
And to give you a hint:
What a neat idea! I like that you’re planning on having more of these roughly in scale to each other, too.
Quick follow up… I just read the more detailed description of the Earth globe. I’m glad that you cautioned people against using it to make one of the classic blunders (‘land war in Asia’ LOL).
An important history lesson, indeed. Glad you enjoyed it! History is at least as important as astronomy right?
