Nelyubov Cover Art

Cover art I made for The Trees Strip latest single, a band post-rock band from Indonesia.

The story behind is about Grigori Grigoryevich Nelyubov, one of the original 20 Soviet cosmonauts, who was dismissed from the Soviet space program in 1963 for drunk and disorderly conduct. His existence in the program was kept secret until the advent of Soviet glasnost in the late 1980s. He committed suicide on 18 February 1966

"Nelyubov is one of the tragic stories, the cosmonaut who was trapped in a life of a black hole just before his shuttle took off." - The Trees Strip
