Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 514.7 Hz, 29 cents flat of C5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A grilled cowboy steak, a thick rib cut with the bone left in, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Grilling browns the surface through the Maillard reaction, where heat joins sugars and proteins into new flavors and a dark crust.
Tap it and the steak is flipped over, like with tongs, onto its other seared side, then flipped back. Drag to turn it and look at the char marks, the fat along the edge and the juicy texture.
