Geek Chic: Darwin Stickers Promote Theory of Natural Selection

Swarthmore College biology student Colin Purrington has come up with "Charles Darwin Has A Posse" stickers to promote Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection in public spaces. The design is a takeoff of the "Andre the Giant Has A Posse" street art project that spread throughout the world in the 1990s. Purrington's website offers not only various T-shirts, mugs, etc. for sale with the Darwin image, but also graphics files of the image for free, which anyone can download and affix to their object of choice. "Take a photograph of a Darwin Has A Posse sticker in action," says Purrington, "and I'll gladly post it on the "Darwin Sightings" page (coming soon). My goal is to have photographic evidence of Darwin appreciation in all 50 states by his 200th birthday, in 2009."
