Demetri Martin

If you're in need of some humour, click here.
Demetri Martin is a comedian who enjoys transferring jokes to doodles.  His doodles are refreshing and funny, but the one I liked in particular was "Self portrait from a distance." I began to wonder what it would look like if he expanded the distance even further, even passed the solar system. Would the doodle just be black? After all, the Universe has no edge, just infinite space that goes on and on and on and on. Humans are just one fraction of this fascinating universe, maybe one day astronomers will have found an 'edge' to the universe...in the mean time we continue to bask in the infinite-ness (I like making up words and phrases) of it.
I'm not sure how these doodles brought me to talking about the universe. Anyway, check them out, they're fun to look at. If you want to see more, click for his Twitter. He posts a lot of doodles there.
