I watched Spike Island last week, it's about a group of Mancs trying to get to see the Stone Roses at the Spike Island gig in 1990. Seeing the artwork on the Stone Roses promo stuff, I decided to have a go at the old paint splash arty type stuff. You may like, you may hate, I don't care!

Did you do this digitally or is it a a shot of a painting done Stone Roses style with splashing paint? Either way I do like it. My lad is 15 now and getting into music he loves Oasis, and the Arctic Monkeys. I played him the Stone Roses the other day ("I am the Resurrection") . Unfortunately he didn't seem to like it..
I like it,used to love doing this stuff at school.Have you tried swinging plastic cups with paint in over a canvas,that produces nice patterns.
I don't understand art but I know something when I see it and like it. I personally wouldn't class it as "ART" (Went to Spike Island some years ago on the bikes and got bloody soaked coming back home........)
I can relate to that. When the stone roses were actually in the charts in the 90’s I hated indie stuff. Was all heavy metal, hard rock for my guitar music loves. Only as I got older did I start it appreciate it and bought an album or 2, and enjoyed the sound. Picture is all photoshop, created with brushes, adjustment layers, layer styles and a filter or 2. Done as a technical exercise and I liked the result. Surely that is understanding art? If you like it’s art, if not then to you personally it’s not. Thanks for the comments, and the opinions.
It's your art. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Personally I love it because it has a great sense of balance
If that is done in PS then hats off to ya mate. It's not my tasse de té, but I can appreciate the skill need to do that in PS.
The picture itself does nothing for me but I can appreciate the PS skills involved in doing such a picture. Great shoppery.
