Space Cadet

Kid Koala

2011

Space Cadet is the instrumental story of an adventurous space cadet and her guardian robot that touches on the relationship between technology and isolation and celebrates the idea of connectivity through family and the cycles that build generations.

He’s the guardian robot programmed to protect the sweetest astronaut on this (or any) planet. But when she blasts off on a solo mission of outerspace adventure, he left to wonder…what now?

A tomorrow-days lullaby about finding your place in the universe, Space Cadet is a 132-page graphic novel drawn entirely on etchboards. It is accompanied by a “still picture score” of music composed and recorded by Kid Koala.
