Apollo 12

Artist's concept painting for the Apollo 12 emblem


This is a small painting that Al Stevens made in the early stages of the creation of the Apollo 12 crew emblem.

Leaving Earth


This is a gorgeous view of Earth. Even Alan Bean exclaimed "Wow!" when this 16by20 was unrolled in front of him. In his own words Al wrote "Our first view of Earth... What a beautiful planet to live our lives... There goes our SLA panel! Alan Bean, Apollo 12
Alan Bean chose to write all of this in a matching curve following the horizon of the Earth.

A Star that went to the Moon


A Star that went to the Moon! How cool is that?
This was presented to Lloyd Rackley by the Apollo 12 crew upon their release from quarantine. I've only seen two others like this, one was for Buzz Aldrin, the other was Dick Gordon's.

A unique patch


Notice the missing wake from the back of the ship in this Lions Brothers patch.

Alan Bean at work


A custom made model of Alan Bean attempting to repair a TV camera with his rock hammer.

Pete and Al


This small print is of my favorite Al Bean paintings.

Made to fit


This is from Dick Gordon's personal collection. It is a prototype model of the controller that Gordon would use to pilot mankind's second lunar landing voyage to the Moon. The quality of the craftsmanship that went into this piece is just incredible.
