Too Much Spam? Turn it Into Poetry and Hang it on Your Wall

Artist Linzie Hunter has come up with a brilliant concept -- she takes the subject lines of spam e-mails, dolls them up with interesting type and colors, then repurposes them as works of art. You can view some of the creations she's posted to Flickr. In the comments, Linzie notes that she plans to reproduce the pieces as larger postcards and full-size prints.

This is the latest in a line of genius "spam imitates art" projects, and definitely one of our favorites right behind the Brother's McLeod's Spamland series of animated shorts. Each Spamland script is culled directly from the contents of real e-mail spam. When the words are pulled out of their original context and placed into a new form, like with Linzie's prints, the result is a series of gibberish-speak, bizarre non-sequitors and unintentional humor.
