About

I'm Tallan Groberg, an artist building original science fiction worlds by hand. Every planet, probe, and drifting station starts as a sketch and is painted piece by piece. No AI.

My ongoing project follows sector zero, a region of space with a single human-habitable world, Serenitas, and all the strange forces circling it: thruster flies, wormhole weavers, and reconnaissance craft mapping the dark.

I share new work every Thursday on Instagram, and I'm available for commissions, from single illustrations to full worldbuilding concepts.
