"Quality will never stand in my way. I’m like Van Gogh — only he was better. I just burp them out.”
Filed under: Statements of Methodology
Context: Spoken during an unrecorded conversation about the creative process, possibly while saving over a half-finished MS Paint file.
Interpretation: Art historians consider this remark central to Rumpelton’s ethos — a fusion of reckless honesty and divine nonchalance. It rejects the tyranny of refinement while elevating spontaneity to an aesthetic principle.
>>Gordon Weft (Contrarian-in-Residence)
“This is the clearest statement yet of Rumpelton’s genius: the conscious abdication of quality as an artistic constraint. While lesser artists chase perfection, Rumpelton declares open war on it. ‘I burp them out’ is not confession — it’s manifesto. It’s what Pollock might’ve said if he’d had MS Paint and no shame.”
>>Professor Lionel Greaves (The Over-Explainer)
“Rumpelton’s proclamation reveals a profound metaphysical position: that ‘quality,’ as defined by traditional aesthetic systems, impedes authentic creation. The invocation of Van Gogh situates him within the lineage of tortured authenticity, yet his follow-up — ‘I burp them out’ — gleefully dismantles that lineage. What emerges is a digital Dadaism: an anti-process elevated to art by the sheer audacity of its disinterest.”<<
