Garriot chose a brush painting titled “UP!” created by Zen Sumi-e artist Drue Kataoka, to share with the ISS astro and cosmonauts. Aside from bringing art into the earth’s orbit, Garriott has also created art inside the ISS. Video game developer Richard Garriot became the 6th private space tourist to board a Russian Soyuz and hang out at the International Space Station for a few days. His father, Owen Garriot, is a former NASA astronaut who spent time floating around Skylab and Spacelab in the 1970’s-1908’s.
