Ralph Rumpelton Manifesto: It's Not the Art, It's the Idea Behind the Art

 Art isn’t just brushstrokes, pixels, or shapes—it’s intention smuggled through expression. In this space, what matters most is the why, not the how. The weirdness, the simplicity, the surreal misfires—they all serve the idea lurking underneath. Whether it's an MS Paint tiger with dental issues or a blank canvas echoing silence, each piece asks a question, pokes a nerve, or dares you to feel something unexpected.

This manifesto lives by one truth:

"It's not the art, it's the idea behind the art."Ralph Rumpelton

That idea could be absurd, poignant, invisible, or loud enough to wake the algorithm gods from their slumber. Your work refuses polish for personality, complexity for concept, and convention for chaos.

And that’s what makes it unforgettable.
