pac man-drian

mr mondrianmr pac manplace de la concorde, 1938-43 (took a while to complete as he had to visit the place de la concorde dozens of times, ensuring he captured it in such intricate detail)

mondrian was an early 20th-century neo-plasticist painter with a style reminiscent of my first attempts at trying to master microsoft paint. pac-man was an addictive early 80s arcade game where the objective was to gobble up dots while chased by four colorful ghosts.

combine the two and what do you get? pac mondrian.

Its strange to know that the most well-known game avatar is Pacman - which was conceived when the designer was staring at a partialy eaten pizza. So much has it progressed from a curious observation into mainstream pop culture LOL

Ha ha, funny. Better him than Jackson Pollock. That would be a nightmare. Although maybe Centipede could clean it up.
