Looks like you put the canvas on the floor and dumped paint on it.

dockery put a canvas on the floor because he can't afford a rug (or much else),
got drunk, and when he passed out he fell into a shelf that had paint cans on it.

when he woke up 12 hours later, he noticed the paint cans had fallen on the canvas.

two weeks later, when he finally decided to clean up, THAT'S when he noticed
that he could pass the mess up as something he created.

and in a way he did.

Yes I give Will too much credit but you know what? Besides all his
idiosyncrasies and his peculiar and absurd behavior, I happen to like
Will.

Orsen Wells w/Citizen Cain fanged:



So basically, you accidentally melted something with one of your
cigarettes, and decided to put the can of Raid under your sink to
something other than its intended purpose. In the meantime, you probably
vomited and after scraping away the top layer, in your delusional and
stupid mental state decided to call the rest "art."

Your an idiot "dorksen", if history has proven one thing
critics have only made life harder for poor artists before they die and
become famous, never improved the art with their own work or dialog...
like the fuzz on a radio chattering to the greatest song
it still pisses on the melody.  save it for the commercial break
or get with the constructive criticism seeing as how you know so much

"we know"

It's a little chaotic Will, that teases the eye, but too fine for me to
tease any dream time.  contrasting pallet
but it's all background, like your road picture
give it some subject(s) in contrasting ideology, and you'll be on your
way

Somewhat similar to what you're suggesting here, in a way, was a
conversation I was having with a friend last night on the possibilty
of using Photoshop and layering images, of say, people or other
objects on top of these as backgrounds... sounds like an interesting
idea to experiment with, perhaps animated.

actually I was talking about straight lines and circles, but if life deals

By the same token, however, many - I would say most - of those who
train in disciplines like writing and painting and music never manage
to reach a point where their efforts can properly be called "Art".
The phenomenon of "hack" writing is fairly well-known and well-
understood. The hack artists get away with a bit more because fewer
people are willing to assert their own ability to label Art as "crap"
or "not crap". This is mostly due to the brainwashing we receive in
school, and throughout society.

Hack musicians tend to be the worst offenders simply because anyone
who can do anything that sounds even remotely "musical" (i.e. make a
sound on an instrument") /and/ who is not embarrassed to perform in
front of people can plausibly pass as a "musician" and will draw an
audience (a crowd) if they are in some way more interesting than
whatever it is the victim (audience) was doing before the hack began
performing. A good example of this is the so-called "country/rock
bar band" that is so pervasive through-out this region (the Bible
Belt, USA). Typically these guys can imitate quite well - sometimes
almost flawlessly - those people who actually make the music to begin
with, but they usually do not have the ability to actually transcend
the copying of someone else's work to make music as Art, independent
of the commerce that has come to control who gets to hear what, these
days...

Anyway. You really should not, imo, discourage people from trying to
engage in the Arts - regardless of their level of "training". That's
what's killing the Arts - no ordinary mortal person these days
believes they are "good enough". Of course, they may not be, but as a
critic, you should be far more concerned with what any given wannabe
is gonna do /next/ than with picking apart what you believe to be
problems with what they've already done. Unless, of course, you're
one of those people who believe that Art can come from places like
American Idol, in which case I have no real interest in reading or
hearing anything you may have to say on the subject....
