Runny ink print.

A few years ago I saw a book by Augusten Burroughs in the bookstore. It’s called “Dry”, and I believe it’s about the author giving up drinking. I happened to notice the cover and how much I liked the idea of using something that is usually a negative (inkjet printouts that get wet and the ink runs) and turning it into a cool look.

Last night I watching something on TV and the commercial for the new horror movie Orphan comes on. Now would you look at this:

I think it looks pretty cool, and as always I’m always pleased to see people walk away from their computer screens and try to do things by hand. I wonder who will see this and be inspired and take it in another totally new direction.
