Science fiction and space stuff aren't that far removed from everyday things. Sounds odd? Eric Geusz, also known as Spacegooose on his social media and art platforms, proves it by using regular items like kitchen utensils or office supplies as an inspiration for his spaceship designs.

The artist shines a new light on how simple objects can be perceived. For most, a bottle opener is just that, but to him, it's a framework around which he can build a slick, wicked-looking spaceship. Eric draws them in a way that is awe-inspiring and the images look completely professional, even though it's just a hobby for this daytime engineer.

It will come as no surprise that the guy is a huge science fiction and fantasy fan. Seeing Star Wars when he was a kid is what drew him in into this world (or should we say, drew him out of our world?), and it's the works of Moebius, Ralph Mcquarrie, Chris Foss, Syd Mead, and others that made him stay.

The artist compares spaceships to dragons, as you're free to make them in any shape that you want and stress any feature that you think is important. Even though dragons and spaceships are rather different creatures, they both use imagination. The hardest part for him is making up an original design that is still similar to an item that he drew inspiration from.
