Xavier Broche, designing Beam me up!
Xavier Broche
Xavier explains his inspiration behind the design:
“I wanted to describe an alien encounter in a playful way. I imagined how it would be for a simple pig to be at the heart of this historic event.
I found it funny to imagine the alien travelling endlessly across space searching for intelligent life, only to encounter a bewildered pig at the end of this epic journey!
Don’t worry about the pig though - he’ll outwit the alien in the end!”
