A small town kid hacks his way into an amazing opportunity, to send Art to space. This story illuminates a thread between satellites, sketchbooks, and parenting, teaching us that with a creative practice reimagined, you can expect innovation and achieve the wildest dreams. Forest Stearns is a prolific illustrator based in Oakland, CA. He has a passion for facilitating creative permission – encouraging business executives, children, artists, and people everywhere to let go of their fears and practice their creative language. Currently he is producing giant paintings that adorn Google’s Quantum computers. Formerly, Stearns has produced the largest art show in Earth’s orbit as Principal Space Artist at Planet. His artistic adventure of fusing arts with technology has fruitfully covered rockets, radomes and 340+ satellites with eloquent illustrations, characters and handwritten calligraphy. He specializes in amplifying company culture, driving innovation and leading by example. Come get creative! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
