We were asked during the duration of this project to pick one we thought was weaker and post it today. Above you see John Pallock Jay-Walking. It's more of an impressionistic idea since John Pallock was a splatter paint artist, thus hard to work with. The green spot in the upper left corner symbolizes the green light of a traffic light, when people aren't supposed to be crossing. The parallel, horizontal, black lines above are supposed to resemble a road's edges. The brown streaks are people, and the one on the 'road', surrounded by red spots, is the jay-walker. I simply dislike the poor ressemblance of the artist's style. I don't mind it having to be explained since it is after all fake splattered and the artist didn't really do images, but since my project was based around mimicing the artist's style, it would have been nice for his distinct type of splattering to come across more. Any advice on how to modify the above would be great.

Rachel,
I love this card. Honestly, I don't think anymore needs to be done to it, because I see it as an accurate depiction of Pollock's work. I think it's fabulous!
I love the title - it says it all!
This is great and I'm glad you didn't try to SPLATTER paint on a 2x3 inch card... since I'm in the same room :) you did the best that could possibly be done.
Much Love
Gretta
