Ink

Almost no line-work at all. A waxy bloom has no edges, so it is drawn as speckle and a few long streaks, and the shape does the rest.

It is eaten in summer despite the name. It tastes of nothing on purpose; the poster is the same, a shape waiting to be filled.

Two inks, one field, 8 fruits. Printed at 2048 × 1152 for the poster, 1200 × 630 for the link card, upscaled for the screens above.
