"Stationary Starship Handbook" Original Art and Breakdown by Dirk Hooper
I usually don’t explain my art. Terry Gilliam said that it’s an artist’s job to ask questions and the viewer’s job to provide answers.
But in this case, the story is part of the art.
I recently had a dream that I was visiting Boston and was called to visit a regular home in the suburbs. I went into the house and discovered it was a “stationary spaceship.” The house didn’t move. It moved the universe around it.
So, you pick where you want to go and you step out on a new world.
For some reason I was supposed the be the new captain of the ship. The heart of the ship had a cat as an avatar, and she handed me a book about how to operate the ship… wrapped in yarn.

great writing sir, arts are first class.
Thank you very much!
@dirkhooper, that fact that you drew my black kitty, albeit on a diet, made me stop and look. I love that you went ahead and explained the meaning behind your art. My husband and I would love a house that's a portal to a bunch of new adventures!
I'd love that house too! I'm thinking about writing a story on that.
Thank you for the comment, and for letting me draw your little kitty cat!
