Space art-ifact: Uplift Aerospace offers to paint murals on Blue Origin spacecraft

A commercial spacecraft that has been designed to launch people on brief trips into space has inspired a new creative use — as a canvas for artwork.

Uplift Aerospace has partnered with Blue Origin, the private spaceflight company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, to paint commissioned murals on the side of Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, adding an artistic flare to the astronautical endeavor.

Beginning Tuesday (Sept. 1), interested individuals can apply to bid on the murals. Those successful in their proffers will be invited to collaborate will Uplift's chosen artists to create the pieces that will fly on the exterior of the New Shepard vehicle on upcoming launches.

This is one of the spare spacecraft panels provided by Blue Origin used for testing the paint.

Artist Amoako Boafo to paint Uplift triptych on Blue Origin rocket exterior

Earlier this year, a prominent lifestyle magazine ran a profile of figurative painter Amoako Boafo, hailing his "stratospheric rise" among the "upper echelons of the art world."

Little did they know at the time, the stratosphere would only be the start for where the 37-year-old Ghanaian's art was headed.

Amoako Boafo's "Suborbital Triptych" was launched into space on Thursday (Aug. 26) on the exterior of Blue Origin's New Shepard. His three panels depicted his friend's mother, his mother and a self-portrait.

From Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos (via Instagram):

Congrats to the Blue Origin team on another successful launch — the eighth for this particular vehicle. And congrats to Amoako Boafo for creating the stunning art that flew into space this morning on New Shepard’s parachute covers.
