DIY: Abstract Expressionism

Every time I go to MoMA, there are always a handful of I could do that art pieces. I do realize that even if I were able to replicate the artwork perfectly, I would still be lacking the creative inspiration or technical ingenuity that went into making the original. I know this, yet I can't help being impressed when an artist makes something that I know I couldn't compete with.
It's liking watching a game of basketball coming to its final seconds. Your favorite team is one point down. The star player drives to the net and lays up the rock for the win - woot, but I could do that. REWIND. The star player takes off from the three point line, rotates three-hundred sixty degrees and shatters the glass with an authoritative slam - I'm going to need a rag.

How many times have you looked at a Jackson Pollock and thought I could do that? Now you can. This site won a webby. Took me a good ten minutes to perfect my "drip" technique - woot.
