The sight of the stars

Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture, Home & Office on November 16, 2010

I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

Stars, by Seb Lester

I am in LOVE with this print by Seb Lester, featuring one of my favorite quotes:

“I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” A quote by a man who needs no introduction, Vincent Van Gogh. The words had an immediate resonance with Seb and he knew he had to do something with them!

The lettering that Seb has developed for this piece is made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny stars, each glistening in metallic gold. To see the stars up close and from further angles please scroll through the additional images above.

The Plike paper is a very deep midnight blue, complimenting the metallic gold print perfectly.

This is a limited edition print, which is also available on royal blue. (I’m partial to the midnight version, myself.)

Moon Survives

Moon Survives: NASA Attack Fails to Destroy Moon

If I post on a Saturday, it’s because I have something fun to share. Today, it’s my winning entry for Veer’s Contest #24: Newsworthy, which started last Friday (LCROSS Impact Day, or perhaps we should call it No Visible Plume Day?) Annoyed by the “NASA is wasting our tax dollars to blow up the Moon!” comments online, as soon as Veer announced this contest, I already had the headline in mind (it was just a matter of finding as cratery a font as possible. If anyone ever comes across a genuinely cratered font, please let me know! This was as close as I could get on short notice.)
