UK-based artist David T. Waller created this amazing 300cm in diameter rainbow-like installation piece called “Car Atlast” built from 2500 different toy cars. A beautiful and colorful sight. However, it does makes you wonder where he got all his toy cars from. Last year, David’s work won the People’s Award at the Arts Depot Open.

Zenpencils.com recently published this little comic based on these inspirational words of wisdom by Neil deGrasse Tyson. There are dozens of video’s about this bit floating around on the internet that went viral and eventually hit the mainstream landscape. If you haven’t checked out the video, it’s about time you get to know this astrophysics.
Neil deGrasse Tyson (1958-) is an astrophysicist, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, TV host and one of the current rockstars of the science world. He’s gained mainstream and pop-culture fame thanks to his books, TV show and frequent appearances on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. After I discovered the work of Carl Sagan, I was desperate to find a modern equivalent who could keep giving me a science fix and Tyson was the name I kept coming across. Like Sagan, Tyson has the ability to communicate the wonders of science to a mainstream audience with charisma and a sense of humour. It’s fitting then that Tyson will be hosting the upcoming sequel to Sagan’s iconic series Cosmos, which I can’t wait to see. Tyson also has a great podcast, StarTalk Radio, which I listen to frequently while I’m drawing.
