Chuck & The Challenger, 1986 by Showdeer

The year 1986 was very important for me as it was my first learning lesson about art from my Uncle Chuck who taught me how to use light. He was an illustrator who painted The Titan Rocket, the Mars Viking Lander, Skylab and the Space Shuttle. This was also the year of the Challenger disaster and I wanted to pay respects to both. His remains were launched into orbit December 21st, 1999 as a space burial on the 7th Celestis flight after others like Gene Roddenberry, Eugene Earl Shoemaker and Timothy Leary. His artwork is displayed in The Smithsonian in Washington, DC. This art is a homage to both my late Uncle and all lives lost on the Challenger who showed us that we should follow our dreams no matter what and that life is short and precious.

Slices of TIME is a two-part collection, inspired by TIME’s nearly 100 year history. The collection features four editions: single red border, single white border, double red border, and double white border. The rarity of this collection was determined completely by Slices of TIME collectors and was final and set as of 12pm ET Feb 23, 2022.

The collection includes work by TIME Creative Director DW Pine and 38 incredible artists. TIME selected 19 artists, who in turn picked 19 collaborators, to create two pieces of art—one inspired by a year from TIME’s past and one by what they see as a hundred years in the future. So, for example, 1969 and 2069.
