I just made the quickest Rothko painting you can imagine with Illustrator. It's almost as good as his and a lot cheaper. It's smaller and it doesn't have the museum quality...but anyone who wants to can print out or download and then as a printer to print one up say 230" by 760" I like Rothko. He committed suicide. He'd probably be really mad at me for doing this. But I hope he can appreciate my work...I appreciated his...........long live gradients
Yes, you're probably thinking I'm going write some parody entry.
Like, I had lunch with Paris Hilton
Or I was abducted by aliens.
Or I figured out a way to make myself invisible.
The fact is, there's nothing funny about this day. Little known fact, more people die on April Fool's Day than any other first-of-the-month day. On this day in 1802, in Russia, a woman was trampled to death by a herd of sheep. On April 1 of 1952 a man carrying a gallon of gasoline to his family in car that ran out of gas, spontaneously combusted right in front of his wife and kids. Police were never able to determine how he wound up catching fire, but only his shoes were left there. And, the worst thing, he and his wife had just been fighting about the fact that he ran out of gas again because he never believed in fuel gauges and he knew he could go another mile or two and she was always nagging him about something and generally they lived a very unhappy marriage and the kids were crying in the back seat and wouldn't shut up and he was perfectly happy to walk off and get gas 5 miles away just to get away from the entire lot of them. April Fool's is not a lot of fun for some people.
