jacksonpollock.org

I remember seeing the Jackson Pollock painting at the Nelson when I was a kid and being really unimpressed with it and the Mark Rothko.

Nowadays, I'm an expert on modern art who has written dozens of important critical essays on these two artists and many others (unfortunately all of these essays are yet to be published, but just you wait!).

In the meantime, this is a really fun site that gives you a chance to create your own masterpiece. Click the mouse to change colors and space bar to erase.

Happy painting.

That's kinda cool, but not as fun as swinging paint brushes. There should be a Jackson Pollock paint app on the Nintendo Wii.

yeah, no doubt.

I was going to add that to get the real effect you'd have to turn the computer monitor facing up and dance aroud the thing uninterrupted for like an hour, preferrably with real paint. A Pollack Wii app sounds like a much better option.
