POPSGeoEye-1, Google's Satellite Sends First Image In an interview for Wired magazine, GeoEye's vice president of communications and marketing, Mark Brender, explained, “This is the opposite of a spy satellite. Spies don't put info on the Internet and sell imagery. We're an Earth-imaging satellite, and we can sell our imagery to customers around the world who have a need to map and measure and monitor things on the ground. We're commercializing a technology that was once only in the hands of the governments. Just like the internet, just like GPS, just like telecom – all invented by the government. And now we are on the front end of the spear that is commercializing this technology.”

Titled Malificent, this beauty is an edition of only 25, and is sure to be a collectors dream. Already a comic industry veteran, Camilla realized she could expand her style into a variety of other industries; snowboards, magazine covers, toys, clothes. Camilla has begun to carve out a niche for herself in the fine art field thanks to her fiery nature, high level of ambition and persistence in following her dream. Her work is characterized by an emotional complexity that spans the full array of human emotions and touches the soul.
