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

wow…this took my breath away for a second. artists are amazing like that aren’t they?
I love this. It’s was a tragic event but in light of it, it brings humor and peace in the situation. Sometimes we need that. :)
In bad taste, for sure.

Heartbreaking but very beautiful. And creative!
Purely poetic. Adored.
ugh,aw this breaks my heart. what an interesting idea though
Great find!
Oh, so beautiful!
lovely.
This is beautiful and hearth breaking..
very impressive.
So beautiful, but so sad.
i really <3 that kind of art.
I did an exercise like this in a class once…we were each given a few pages of a book and we had to white out a majority of the page to make one or two coherent sentences. It was pretty neat, but very difficult!
already sold old (cheap size)…boo. love the print
The creative mind is a beautiful thing! Inspiring…thank you!
love how it turned out even though it is kind of heart breaking. But it sheds a different light on the event and I love it!!
I really like the idea. I don’t think I could hang it though.
those are so brilliantly beautiful!
that is such a clever idea, but you’re right – it honestly breaks my heart. i think it’s such a beautiful print, but i’m not sure i could hang it anywhere in my house because it’s just too heartbreaking!
love this! how clever and somewhat uplifting. xoxo jcd
Genius! I love it. x
Oh gosh. This is quite beautiful, isn’t it. Was it from an actual article regarding the Titanic sinking?
i am in love with this. when i learned that the titanic sank on my birthday (april 15th) i developed this huge infatuation with it. the movie, the books, the articles, the museum exhibits, EVERYTHING. i still am fascinated with it so this is amazing.
It really is just breathtakingly beautiful. Makes me want to attempt it. :]
Thanks for sharing!
so clever!
I love this print, it’s so poetic and just puts you right there in the moment.
Great, great idea. I wonder what amount of planning goes into doing something like this or if certain articles just are easily seen this way or easily happened upon.

bethany, that’s so cool, thanks for sharing xo
This is too cute! Looks like fun!

at the same time.
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!
Wow, that’s amazing. Seriosuly.

Love this! What a clever idea.
I loved these pieces by Austin Kleon! If you’re interested in his other pieces, you can find them here. http://www.20×200.com/artists/austin-kleon.html
I’ve done a piece on some other wonderful art from this site if you’d like to check it out!
Wow. You can’t help but to stop and think. It’s sad but powerful!
Beautiful-almost haunting.
Oh, wow, this is sad and beautiful. So simple but so creative!
that’s beautiful!
It’s funny, sad and eerie all at the same time!
Is it terrible that I think this is hilarious? Oh well, but it’s very creative.
That is so cool! Who would have thought of that?
Very original. Like it!!

You’re so right, heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.
Wow..some people are so incredibly creative. I would never even think to do something like that!
What a unique idea. Thanks Joanna.
very cool. i followed the link and saw some of the artists other poems. he wrote one for his wife about her doing cartwheels. really sweet.
These are totally fab. I want one…this could also be a cool DIY from historical events in your lifetime if you geek out and collect newspapers. I may or may not be guilty as charged…
This is fantastic! I want one! Just found your blog and I’m loving it!
New follower!

This is somehow really inspiring, even though tragic.
Wow. Instant chills.
Funny and heart-breaking, an unusual achievement!

This is incredible and so heart-breaking.
LOL! That’s the kind of clever joke we all need more of in our lives ;-) I do feel a bit inappropriate laughing about a tragedy, but what gives. It’s funny :-)
Interesting.
Oh!!!! Very touching! :(
