Overheard on the Titanic

This heartbreaking print "Overheard on the Titanic" was made by blacking out words in a newspaper article with a Sharpie marker. Beautiful.

  42. There's a site called godlovespoetry.com that uses this method to create poems about tolerance out of press releases and articles from Westboro Baptist Church (you know - the crazies that picket funerals and harass LGBT people.)
    The results are really beautiful. Regardless of how people feel about the topic of homosexuality, I think it's an amazing form of activism and a true testament that we can find hope and promote peace even in the face of hatred. You should check it out!
