I suppose you've seen Bill Burroughs "shotgun art"?

Can of paint in front of canvas, shoot can = painting



“There is no exact process. If you want to do shotgun art, you take a piece of plywood, put a can of spray paint in front of it, and shoot it with a shotgun or high powered rifle. The paint’s under high pressure so it explodes! Throws the can 300 feet. The paint sprays in exploding color across your surface. You can have as many colors as you want.”

William Burroughs from an interview with Gregory Ego

Finger off the trigger there bill! Artists, sheesh.... Of course, he's gone to the great rifle range in the sky, so I'll cut him some slack. Course firearms safety wasnt really Burroughs strong suite. He shot his wife in the face with a .380 Star automatic in an attempt to blast a highball glass off her head ala William Tell... Her death ruled as the equivalent of "negligent homicide" and he spent two weeks in a Mexico City jail before bribing his way out and fleeing the country. Mexico City, 1951.

As a swapmeet and thrift store hunter, I'd pick that up if I saw it.
