Jack the Dripper!

Jackson Pollock ( click on his name and you can paint just like him!) is one of my favorite artist. He is known best for his dripping technique and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement. Some may look at his work and think it's just some scribble scrabble on a board, but its more about his complexity and expression that he puts into his work. He danced around the canvas swifly creating a masterpeice that would become studied and observed by many that appreciate his complex style. Some say he was a mad man, but regardless, he inspired me as a painter to understand that " Every good painter paints what he is." So I encourage any artist, whether u sing, dance, draw, or paint, go ahead and get your Jackson Pollock on and EXPRESS YOURSELF! Watch the clip to see the master at work!
Here is one of my favorite paintings entitled "Composition mit blau"

Pick up a book dammit!

"Invisible Man, a novel written by Ralph Waldo Ellison. It was the only novel that Ellison published during his lifetime, and it won him the National Book Award in 1953. The novel addresses many of the social and intellectual issues facing African-American identity, including the relationship between this identity and Marxism, black nationalism, and the reformist racial policies of Booker T. Washington.
Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005."
- From Wikipedia
Im currently reading this book for like the....hundredth time. First time I read it for an English assignment, I didnt really appreciate the dynamics of it until I got a lil older. Moving down the streams of my lifetime, I often pick up this great book and discover more fasinating details like it was never there when I read it the first time....So turn off the T.V. and pick up a book!
