# Hand-Drawn Spam Linzie Hunter's Email Art By Alex Covert | Published 2008-12-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/email-art-hand-drawn-spam References: [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/linzie/sets/72157602417089145/) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/linzie/sets/72157602417089145/) Spam. Not the quasi-meat product, but the unsolicited sales pitches that bombard our inboxes. It promises to make us larger. To make us thinner. To be the cheapest. To be the best. It’s annoying to most of us, but when sent in very large numbers, it finds a small percentage of people who can’t help but click through. One artist, [Linzie Hunter (Flickr)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/linzie/sets/72157602417089145/), has taken the spam she has received and made it into a collection of attractive… spam signs. Perhaps the click-through rates would be higher if spam looked like this. Photos from Linzie’s 30 illustrations can be [purchased as postcards at Amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0811865363/robotjohnnyco-20). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Email Art:** Creating art from unsolicited spam emails. - **Spam Signage:** Transforming spam into visually appealing signs. - **Click-through Rates:** Exploring the impact of visual aesthetics on spam engagement. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Leveraging spam as a medium for artistic expression. - **E-commerce:** Selling spam-themed merchandise like postcards. - **Online Advertising:** Developing innovative strategies to increase click-through rates for legitimate advertising emails. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storybook Food Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-eggs-spam1.md) - [Whimsical Canned Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-eggs-spam.md) - [AI Marketing Email Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/email-marketing.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Spam-Eliminating Inbox Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sentrya-20.md) - [Movie-Celebrating Pork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-spam.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Lunch Meat-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spamalulu-pizza.md) - [Visual Email Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visual-email-newsletters.md)
