Robotic Action Painter

Via we make money not art:
A robotic painter that creates images using interesting Colour-as-pheromone behavioural programming.
I recently had an idea of a project called (something along the lines of) iPollock, using a robotic painter to produce similar Abstract Expressionist paintings. The twist was that instead of using batteries, it would be powered via a model-aeroplane-engine-based generator fuelled by hard liquour.
(I suppose it’s possible we could add greater verisimilitude to the project in v2.0 by creating another robot called the iKrasner, that iPollock periodically whacks with a specially designed appendage.)
