The 10 Commandments of Rumpeltonian Art

 

The 10 Commandments of Rumpeltonian Art

1. Thou shalt embrace imperfection.
Every crooked line and jagged fill is sacred. Smoothness is for cowards.

2. Thou shalt use the most primitive tools available.
If MS Paint is too advanced, downgrade to something worse. A trackpad? Perfect. A broken mouse? Even better.

3. Thou shalt mock all notions of “good taste.”
If the critics don’t groan, you’ve failed. If they cry, you’re close to glory.

4. Thou shalt reinterpret the classics with unapologetic chaos.
No album cover, painting, or cultural icon is safe from the Rumpelton treatment.

5. Thou shalt never fix mistakes.
A mis-click is divine intervention. Errors are the fingerprints of genius.

6. Thou shalt keep thy color palette loud and unruly.
Neon pink next to vomit green? A match made in heaven.

7. Thou shalt champion the philosophy of “just enough effort.”
Five minutes is plenty. Ten minutes is indulgent. A masterpiece takes 15 minutes max.

8. Thou shalt add humor to every pixel.
Every Rumpelton piece should look like it’s in on the joke, even when the joke makes no sense.

9. Thou shalt treat compression artifacts as holy relics.
Blurriness, pixelation, and jagged edges are badges of honor, not flaws.

10. Thou shalt believe in the myth of Rumpelton.
Rumpeltonian art is not just art—it’s a state of mind, a cult of imperfection, a wink at the absurdity of “serious” art.
