re spatter says it best

If only there was a book devoted to spatter fonts....it would have to use this latest poster designed by Robynne Raye as a primo example. Although Robynne and her cohorts at Modern Dog have produced a good many graphic pieces using drips and runs and splashes....this one takes the prize.
It navigates that marvelous territory between legibility and illegibility which means it grabs the mind and holds on until you wipe the tears from your eyes with the back of your hand.

Plastic Spoon Sighting

On a recent walk around Greenlake, I was dismayed to see a discarded white plastic spoon resting on the lake bottom ( Less than 6 feet from shore and at a depth of no more than 3.7 feet). One can only speculate the half-life of such trash, but there is also the hope that this monumental afront to nature will gradually disappear into the lake sediment.
