Jackson Pollock. March 10
I always thought it would be easy to do the old Jackson Pollock paint drizzle thing. I always thought it was a clear case of an interesting, promotable guy creating a “style” that he could reproduce fast, in his sleep, and make a lot of money. Well, maybe that’s all true. But the paint drizzling thing is not as easy as one might think. And if you don’t believe me, try it.
My problem is knowing when to stop. Also, it’s hard do decide, on the fly, how much to use of a given color, or what color works well drizzled over what other color. Of course, unlike Pollock, we can just hit the refresh key and start over. Once he drizzled on a canvas, the die was cast.
Try it. Let me know what you think.
thats for sure, dude

Humph. Someone has to force me to read this post. It’s too big and boring. Brevity is the sister of talent, remember that.

Hey st. I had to think for a while about whether to approve your post. It seemed pretty lame to complain about having to read 135 words. In fact, I would be embarrassed to have such a proclamation of illiteracy attached to my name, on the Internet for all to see. But you may be a juvenile, or a semi-literate, or just a whiner. In any case, nobody is forcing you to read anything. If you don’t like reading things longer than 134 words, you’re welcome to go through life being superficial and ignorant. Have a good one.
