On Saturday, August 21, 2010, Getaways for Women creator and Jafagirl ("Just Another Flippin' Artist") Nancy Mellon hosted a "Paint Like Pollock" workshop as part of her "Getaways for Women: Wild Women Event."Participants met at Brother Bear's Coffeehouse to watch a short video on the life of American painter and abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock, then gathered under the carport next to "would you, could you" In A Frame to experiment with various Pollock-inspired techniques including flinging, dripping, pouring and spattering. Co-Jafagirl Corrine Bayraktaroglu and cameraman Tom Osborne helped to chronicle the event. Candy cigarettes from Sugar Cubes were available to help participants get in the Pollock spirit.

I just need to run down to Sugar Cubes for a sec...
In a subtle way, this is giving Pollock the ridicule he deserves.
