Ha - excellent title for this picture! A friend recommended a book to me ages ago (like, in about 1995) which contained this short story. Made a huge impact on me. I stared at this picture for a couple of minutes and decided that title was perfect, so there you have it. The story is by Jorge Luis Borges. Check it out.

Or, as I suspect this is really entitled, 'The Symposium of Beasts Debating the Manifestation of Greed.' (You might need to read the blurb under 'Acrylic Pour 1'.) I love how the paint basically separated into blue and red halves. It is interesting to watch how the paint flows. You can exercise an element of control over it but a lot of it is out of your hands which I like. Whole new experience!

Hmm, tricky. It's a bit like a black hole. This one was quite good until I stuck my finger in it before it was completely dry. There is now a new paiting over the top of it. Maybe this one is really called 'The Osmosis of Time' or 'Love Triangle with Potato'. Apparently it's subjective. If Jackson Pollock can produce a canvas of congealed paint-encrusted coins and cigarette butts and call it 'Full Fathom Five', I can call this what I like. Also, there's a weird little ghost in it -...

A catchy title for this piece, methinks. Or should it actually be 'The Conception of Concept'? (GASP) Anyway, as with the others in this series, enjoy the lovely colours and shapes and please feel free to submit your own titles coz I'm out of my field, here. Look out for the upcoming post on acrylic flow and please wander around the rest of the website.

What is all this about? Please see the blurb under 'Acrylic Pour 1' as well as the News post 'Latest Stuff' from today and the follow-up post on acrylic flow which will be, er.. following. At some point. And continuing our theme of pretentious titles for abstract pieces, this shall also be called 'Transient Dimensions with Fish'. Alternative titles most welcome...

Ok, let's have some fun. I'm not a massive fan of abstract art generally but I'm coming round to it the more I see. I appreciate how beautiful some abstract art looks and that it means different things to different people, however, I still struggle with a lot of it and think it can sometimes take itself too seriously. And when I say 'it', I mean the creators. I will shortly be putting up a post in News about my experience with acrylic flow so far but I am also posting the individual res...

Rob Trujillo A3, acrylic on acrylic paper. Such a great photo - hope I did it justice. I love the lighting in this picture and wanted to see if I could capture the effect. I love how the form of his body is picked out in electric blue and gold, and he's an awesome guy! Stick on some Metallica and have a browse through my website.
