Looks like they would fit into a bass for Doug Wimbish from the Living Colour days. |

I saw a particularly amusing documentary the other day called "Who the F*** is Jackson Pollack?," if you are into that sort of thing. I love his paintings, although I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea. (Message edited by hydrargyrum on June 17, 2008) |

I remember as a kid I got given a christmas gift by my godmother, and it was a craft paint kit. Essentially it was a bucket that would swirl the water in it, and various fast setting acrylic paints which you pour into the bucket of swirling water - and ostensibly you dipped whatever you wanted into the bucket of swirling water with swirling acrylics, instant Pollock coating on whatever you cared to dip. I see these pickups closed very high, highest I've seen for a used pair of J type activators. |

...marbling/ebru one of the highest arts in my eyes. suminagashi is the japanese style of doing that with inks... ...there's a couple of neat vids on youtube I've seen. The dutch had some masters hundreds of years ago...no acrylics back then tho. |
