OT: /JP's drips...

[Scott Hansen <scott-a-hansen@uiowa.edu>]

>When I was a young sprout in high school in the late 60s and
early 70s I wanted to BE Jackson Pollock when I grew up.

well, i actually did attempt to paint a couple of jackson pollock
drip-type paintings. they were smallish. they look similar i guess,
but when you compare them to the mural size pollocks, they paled greatly
in comparison. and of course mine just ended up in the trash, where
they belonged.

i always dreamed of being as famous (and rich) as jackson pollock,
but then i decided that i didn't want to be dead too.
he's probably been talked about to death, but he really
was a GREAT painter. if you see the pollock room at MOMA, it's amazing.
