Josh Ellingson shows off his vivid homage to Carl Sagan (and the similarity to the color palette of Laughing Squid stickers), inspired by the killer viral video ‘A Glorious Dawn’ ft Stephen Hawking (Cosmos Remixed)

Our favorite photojournalist of alt.culture, Scott Beale, was at the Alternative Press Expo in SF today and took these awesome pictures. More on the link below. The event continues tomorrow. If you’re into self/indie/small press publishing, and are in the Bay Area, you’ll definitely want to stop by.

    That Josh Ellingson design looks like it was made for a black t-shirt… with any number of Sagan quotes which might go equally well in that speech bubble. Nice!

    I’d buy one! I’d buy one with this quote. I’ve always loved the “we are stardust” concept.
