Carl Sagan space anomaly Tshirt

"We are all made of starstuff". Now that Carl Sagan has returned to that state, I wanted to commemorate him. This portrait was created from thousands of dots, each representing a point of light in the night sky. Familiar constellations were added around his face in roughly the right places, allowing for a bit of compositional licence.

As an interesting plot point, this Tshirt seems to generate 90% of the traffic to my website.

Since it was being silkscreened as white ink on black substrate, it had to be created as a negative which proved quite challenging. You can check out the handmade negative created in india ink here: http://www.simonfarla.com/2011/08/carl-sagan-billions-and-billions-tshirt/
