500 Socks
Description: A digital artwork set against a white background depicting Air Canada TriStar 500 registration C-GAGF delivered in 1981 and sold ten years later to Delta Air Lines as N764DA. I have thoroughly researched the artworks and only when I have enough reference material do I create them digitally. The 200 and 500 were later variants of the TriStar, the 200 having the longer body and the 500 having the longer range. The TriStar also referred to as the L-1011 (L-ten eleven) was a medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner manufactured by the Lockheed Corporation between 1970 and 1984.

Description: Galaxie 500 was an American alternative rock band that formed in 1987 and split up in 1991 after releasing three albums. Guitarist Dean Wareham, drummer Damon Krukowski and bassist Naomi Yang had met at the Dalton School in New York City in 1981, but began playing together during their time as students at Harvard University. Wareham and Krukowski had formed a series of punk-influenced student bands, before Wareham returned to New York. When he returned in 1987 he and Krukowski formed a new band, with Yang joining the group on bass guitar, the new group deciding on the name Galaxie 500, after a friend's car, a Ford Galaxie 500.
