What if the space race took place in the early 1800s so that by the early 1900s space wasn’t just a place for moon missions but for kids’ space camp?

Here you’ll find characters and artifacts from a past age, left over ephemera from this era: on-the-nose playful advertising, kid astronauts and friendly aliens, badges to be earned at camp, and more.

This collection plays on mid-century illustration styles with a halftone or screen-printed look. I want the collection to feel like it’s been created by hand and throws back to what feels like a lighter, more innocent time to be a kid; filled with wonder, exploration, and playfulness.

Enjoy the ride!

The collection below is the first of many that I’m working on. It’s currently available for licensing. Enjoy the mini-magazine below.
