Pollock Explosion

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Rob

One of the most well known abstract expressionist painters is Jackson Pollock. If you’re not familiar with his name, you’ll probably know him as the paint splatter guy. Reed Leslie from The Hole Look in Anchorage, AK, sent in this interpretation of Pollock’s work. From where I’m sitting it looks like it could have been done by Pollock himself. The level of detail and thought that went into this is staggering.

This is just one of a couple of photos Reed sent in that can be found in the miscellaneous tattoo gallery.

Wow, that’s beautiful work! Nice to see ink that doesn’t look like a million other tattoos 🙂

I wouldn’t want it (because I don’t really like Pollock), but it looks really nice. Totally better than Pollock…

Goddamn I love this soooooo much it makes me squeel and roll around a floor littered with broken glass and exploding fireworks. Man I dont know why I hang out here. Its terribly dangerous, and with no health insurance, it’s really no bueno. Yet, I continue rolling around, squeeling. Thats how much I like this piece.
