In honor of Rorschach and his experience in chapter 6 with the Rorschach ink tests, I'm posting some blot paintings Andy Warhol did. By the way, seeing Rorschach/Kovac's real face? Yeah, he should wear the mask, no question, and, hi, didn't need to see the dogs bloodied. Very unnecessary.
See, my issue with these is I never really see anything in them.
This one's a little Tim Burton-y. But still, I just think, Oh, hey, symmetry.
Yellow!
Seahorses maybe? Except not really, and I'm struggling to make anything of it.
More colors.
I don't know. I'm apparently not cut out for these. I don't think I lack in creativity, but eh. They're supposed to evaluate personality characteristics. So the fact that I see nothing in them means either, a) I have no personality OR b) I refuse to give anyone anything they can psychoanalyze me with.
Mostly I think the tests are creepy looking because of the crawling black ink overlapping again and again. It's like a flurry of movement trapped in some single moment.
What I really want to know is what YOU see in them? Can anyone out there actually make pictures out of the mess?
On an Ending of Watchmen note, I loved the scenes of utter destruction toward the end, in chapter 12. The apocalyptic nature of it all. Just that hopelessness, it's engaging.

Those ink blots remind me of the Gnarls Barkley music video.
