1 Begin With No Vision.
True Rumpeltonians never sketch. We launch MS Paint and stare into the white void until it stares back.
2 Use the Wrong Tool for the Right Job.
Need a curve? Use the line tool and make peace with its failure. The spray can is not for shading—it is for chaos.
3 Color Without Harmony.
Your palette should offend Adobe. Choose neon, clash hues, and if you accidentally hit the wrong fill? Good. The piece has spoken.
4 Let Mistakes Guide You.
Did the polygon tool betray you? That’s not a bug, it’s divine intervention. Follow its lead. Trust the glitch.
5 Respect the JPEG.
Every compression artifact is a badge of honor. Save it. Save it again. Save it until the pixels cry for mercy.
6 Titles Are Half the Art.
A drawing of a lopsided frog becomes “Anxiety at the DMV.” A red square is “Echoes of My Unsent Email.” You’re not lying—you’re revealing the hidden meaning.
7 Ignore Resolution.
DPI is a capitalist lie. If it looks good zoomed in at 300%, you’ve already failed.
8 Honor the Frame.
Stop when it feels wrong. Especially if it looks terrible. That means it's ready. Sign it. With a mouse.
9 Post Without Apology.
Add no captions. Or add too many. Either way, act like it's the most important work since Rothko figured out rectangles.
10 Repeat Until Enlightenment or Dinner.
You’re done when your wrist hurts or the microwave beeps. Whichever comes first.
