the richard avedon beatles posters

To geeks like me, the 1967 Richard Avedon Beatles posters are some of the most iconic artworks of the 1960's.  Here's the posters, plus what they originally looked like. You can still buy originals from various places on the web, but they are pretty expensive these days.

He also did these ones.  I'd like them all, but l prefer the ones above.

we are all insignificant

 Always remember, our pitiful short lives are insignificant in the great scheme of things, so do what you want, try and be happy, don't worry about the little people, and try not to harm anyone else.  

And on a related note, here's Earth form Mars.
