A shot in the brain for type designers — make us think, make us reassess and reexamine our conception of what lettering is. It's high time spam was subverted and made to look absurd. (much laughter) What a relief to know my small tits needn't be the cause of my embarrassment ;^) Linzie’s lettering is pretty, provocative, stimulating, different, jaunty, humorous and artful in unexpected ways.

It reminds me of the beautiful, glorious <a href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/kilgallen/index.html#" rel="nofollow">typography and illustration</a> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Kilgallen" rel="nofollow">Margaret Kilgallen</a>. She died at the young age of 33, of breast cancer. Nice work. It reminds me of the beautiful, glorious typography and illustration of Margaret Kilgallen.

It's akin to taking junk off the street and turning it into art. Linzie's idea is a great one, and well executed. I can't believe this is the first I've heard of her.

The site's tagline says it better than I can: "Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!" Some of them are truly <a href='http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/1' rel="nofollow">inspired</a>. Though not type-related, Spamusement has a similar theme.
