thanks for sharing. you think she's gonna toss one out the window when she goes up? quite possibly the coolest pair of jobs for a husband and wife i've ever heard of.

From what I've heard he's already got one on the ISS, and there's one floating in space as well...

he also has them placed by divers on the bottom of the ocean. he takes suggestions on where he should put them, if you have any ideas.

i have done shows with josh and his crew for many years and i will say that some of his work is insane in size and elemental qualities.

he also has one of the nicest display's(booths) i have ever seen at a craft show.

i guess its been almost 12 years since i did my first show next to him and i remember being totally blown away by it.

p.s. if anyone wants to see real marketing at its best in the craft field, then pay close attention to josh. he is a marketing genious , as well as very good at delegating work out to the appropriate people.

later,

Josh Simpson is one of my all time heroes! I fell in love with his art years ago. His man made tektite stuff is f-n-amazing!!! If you get the chance to see his work up close DO IT!!! And the fact that his wife is a freakin astronaut is too cool for words. Check out his website- http://joshsimpson.com/site/
