The artwork of Jerry Armstrong

Jerry Armstrong is a well known meteorite collector and a cosmic artist whose paintings are highly sought after. He has been an amateur astronomer for decades and discovered a supernova in M51 on April 1, 1994, beating the heavily-funded Berkely search team by 40 minutes with nothing but his telescope, a timely photograph and a deep understanding of that galaxy's typical features. I'm extremely fortunate to call Jerry a very good friend, and every time we meet it seems like I'm learning something new about another corner of the solar system, galaxy or universe that we call home.

While all of his artwork is absolutely fantastic, it is his meteorite-related paintings that I find most catching. Below are several images of Jerry's artwork which are in my collection (either as originals or signed prints). Please feel free to contact Jerry if you have any questions or would like to place an order.
