Fun with words and images: Cryptichs

June 20, 2010

in Ye Olde Writing Life

For the past couple of months, Fred “spitballarmy” O. (whom you may remember from the “Under the Tree” collaboration last winter) has been posting strange three-image combinations at unpredictable intervals on Twitter. Today those poetic triads (via Fred) have launched a Twitter #hashtag and Web site called Cryptich (that’s cryptic mixed with triptych, a word for which I may or may not be responsible).

I love this. Such a fun way to play with words and images—and Fred chose the perfect art for the header of the site to boot. My opening entry:

gerbera daisies / blue glass vase / uncashed check #cryptich

Come play on Twitter.
