He may wish he had a longer handle. I think he’s going to become part of his artistic expression.

i think he has it planned. he’s wearing a robe and what looks like a pillow case over his head. which may become part of the art display.

I think the “pillow case” is actually a blindfold.

Woodchopper’s ball but big girls, they don’t cry…..
Looks like he’s part of the Woodchopper’s.
I wonder if he will strike twice in the same place.

I’m so glad Mr. Miller decided to be subtle on the size of the hammer….

Jackson Pollock put his canvas (or whatever he was going to use) on the floor and dripped paint on it.
Pollock didn’t usually use paint in tubes.
I saw this comic in my local paper earlier and I thought of Pollock, too.
Ignorant folks think that Pollock created abstract art; but, it was actually “non-objective” art.
If at least one thing can be recognized in a work of art and it is not realistic art, it is officially abstract art.
I used to teach art in public school.
The truth is that most abstract artists and non-objective artists drew and/or painted realistic art first.
On one of the HGTV shows, a guy who did design and was an artist, took his painter’s clothing which was spattered with paint and cut a piece out of it and framed it.

He’s definately into impressionism.

That guy is slow to realize his sorriness for that act which he is about to perform.

JAD,
I take it those abstract/non-objective artists (and I use the term loosely) who started with realistic art, failed miserably
and moved on to the abstract to avoid getting a real job.
I own number of works, by both Canadian and American artists and none of them resemble cans of paint splattered on a canvas.

Bmonk: LOL.
After painting my house interior, the tee-shirt I wore for most of it (not wanting to ruin more than one shirt) looked like an Impressionistic landscape.
