Those who don't know who Jackson Pollock is probably won't enjoy the link quite as much as I did.

http://www.jacksonpollock.org/

and here is my effort at reproducing Pollock's 'Blue Poles'

I..don't know wether this is taking the micky out of his work or it's a hommage.. i remember seeing blue poles in grade 6 while in camberra.. i initialy thought it was made by a retard..then again i was 13 at the time and i thought good artwork was anything with a face... of how my views have changed.

lol! well he might have been retardedly drunk when he made it. I understand when Blue Poles was purchaced by the Australian government there was public outrage - so your views in grade 6 were probably in step with the greater general public.

I would like to think the site is having fun WITH Pollock rather than making fun OF him. My rendition of Blue pole is of course paying hommage :)
