Some of my postings stretch to related to public relations and communications. It’s actually not that hard, since most things are related to one or the other in some way, shape or form.
However there are some things which don’t relate, and I’m not even going to bother trying to make them relate. Today’s posting is of that variety.
For everyone who wanted to be an abstract expressionist, but just never got the chance to, check out this Jackson Pollock site. (Warning: be prepared to lose at least ten minutes of your life to this.)
This highly addictive applet is so much fun, and actually really interesting.
When I first started “playing” I went overboard with colour etc., trying to make each picture have a theme or something organized and planned. But such obsessions only ruin the piece. Go ahead and try. Less is better, truly. I guess it’s a good excercise for those of us who are perfectionists, who go over the top, etc., to teach constraint. (I thought I was going to make this post have no meaning?)
Or it’s a highly entertaining waste of ten minutes. You decide.

It’s so true! Oh, let’s be all-inclusive… not everything has to relate to PR & Communications…all the time, although it usually can. There are some things that should be preserved and admired for what they are, no analysis needed. Great painting Lisa!
It IS addictive!
Hi, I found your blog through a friend of a friend of a friend, you could say.
I was directed to that site a few years back and it is definately what you said about perfectionists ruining their “works of art”. I still somehow manage to go WAY overboard with the colour, even though I have used the site many times.
(Great blog by the way)
