Jackson Pollock, who hasn't heard of him.
Discoverer/inventor of action painting.
He changed the way we look and perceive
abstract paintings to something fun, surreal and mysterious.
I remember watching the movie "Pollock"

in college in our art history class, and being inspired beyond belief
by the life of this struggling but talented artist.
Seeing now and really understanding what was behind what we all
thought was just paint splashed and not much effort.
He wasn't known as "Jack the dripper" for nothing.
He invented a style and gave new meaning to expression for all.
He's become a pop-culture icon that brands and people everywhere including
myself have tried to emulate, but i guess Jack is Jack.
A Pollock style graffiti makes this keyboard look quite funky.
This dress looks moth-eaten and smelly.
hhahahahaaaa
Pollock's art has become synonymous with colour, energy and attitude.
That's him with his work.
And that's me with mine.
Painted this wall at the entrance of our creative department at work.
Used big tubs of acrylic paint and my hands. Was a stress buster and loads and loads of fun.
Here's me again in front of the wall, can you see me?
lol - i'm wearing a pollock inspired outfit
i got made myself cuz i just fell in love with the print.
But it's a thick lilen material and summer's approaching,
so it's tucked away till the next winter sadly.
