This Moss On A Wall Of A Cemetary Looks Like A Shadowy Gathering Of People From The 1800s.

Matthew Kramer 8 years ago
I feigned to look at the man as he spoke, and he spoke with the malicious arrogance of a captor reveling in his triumph. My eyes, though, were focused on the brick and crumbling plaster of the cemetery wall behind him. They had come. The wall before had been nothing to strain my powers of credulity; just plaster stained with two centuries of moss. Like the tail-end of a hallucination, however, a figure emerged from the green-black discoloration, taking from the darkness of the mossy wall to give itself form. I glanced away and back again. Another form had appeared. My pursuer and I settled to exchange words, and by then I reckoned it was over. A spark played through his glassy eyes, and a knife shone under his coat as he bore down on me.

Great pics, but why are people dumping toxic paint into their drinking water?
Trinton Garrett 8 years ago
Not sure if you are talking about the Acrylic paint down the drain photos but Acrylic isn't toxic. I am an Acrylic artist too and at least MOST acrylic paint isn't toxic any longer.

Most of these aren't actually 'accidental art' but finding images in random natural phenomena, which is not the same thing!
Steve Sestrich 8 years ago
I say it became art when someone took a picture of it.
