For Eric Geusz, it's a struggle to remember a time when he wasn't designing spaceships.

He says: "I saw Star Wars in 1997 as a small kid and I think that made a big impact on me. My brothers and I used to make a lot of our own spaceship designs out of Lego.

"We used to make kit-bashed spaceships by hot-glueing together and spray-painting old surplus science supplies my mom had lying around, like pipettes and sample tubes. And then sometimes we'd put fireworks in them to make them explode. Also in school I'd sometimes pretend my eraser was one of those shuttlecraft in Star Trek and draw little windows and details on it."

As an adult Eric became a software developer but he continued drawing in his spare time – and found he still saw spaceships in the objects around him. He began posting these online and has developed a considerable fan base on social media.

He adds: "Making art helps me relax from long days of coding and troubleshooting and I recommend it to everyone as a form of meditation. I think my favorite design I've made so far is the Shampooship. However I have a bunch more planned that will hopefully be even better."
