"First Bloom" is a science fiction chronicle of the future of human expansion into the galaxy. It is comprised of a print book, companion soundtrack, and videos. The book is in the format of an illustrated historical reference about various important spacecraft from a 200 year time period, the "First Bloom", of humanity's expansion into the galaxy.



The Illustrations, text and music were all developed at the same time. Up until this point, my visual art and music had been two distinct branches of my creative output.

They are more like parallel concepts that ocassionaly weave together or reflect each other thematically.
