The Big Issue

Collage commission
for Edition No 667
pp. 12 – 13
Friday 5th – Thursday 18th August, 2022

Always a pleasure to be invited to create a collage for The Big Issue, and their Space Travel August issue proved no exception to the rule.

Purchase a copy of the latest Big Issue (5th August, 2022, edition 667) from a vendor, to see our eleventh digital collage commission featuring the Cosmic Cliffs captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope in Wilson da Silva’s ‘Have rocket, will travel’, pp. 12–15, and ponder what lies ahead.

Were you to spin through the galaxy, watching young stars form, what would it look like to you?

Incorporating the recent images of the “hot dust steaming” Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula to Stephan’s Quintet, was a twinkling, blistering challenge, and, as ever, we created a suite for them to choose from. Featured here, in order, the Cosmic Cliffs; Southern Ring Nebula; Stephan’s Quintet; and Webb’s First Deep Field.

Not quite space travel, granted, but rewind the tape to earlier collages for The Big Issue:
