American multidisciplinary artist Guy Richards Smit has reproduced cover pages of the New York Times in watercolor, smearing details of both the text and the images while leaving the headlines mostly decipherable. Smit combines headlines which appear legitimate with others that suggest fiction. By including the Times' tagline ("All the news that's fit to print") Smit suggests that absorbing the news can be complex, and often made further complicated by frustration and disbelief.
