Why Paint With Paint
Why Paint with Paint
Artist John Knuth
To tell you the truth
Paints with a broad swath of color
His reds are bright reds
His blues are bright blues
But his greens and his browns are much duller
For the truth of the matter
He paints with fly splatter
Instead of the usual paint
He raises each fly
(He’s a pretty sick guy)
And a typical artist he ain’t
He feeds his flys sweets
Water color mixed treats
Then he coaxes the flys to throw up
He then captures that waste
Makes it into a paste
And that’s how his colors show up
He says once you had tried
Fly barf, you’d decide
To forfeit all other subtext
So he paints from the start
What he claims is fly art
It really is not that complex
