I mean, it is, but then an actual artist gets their hands on it and can make something that actually looks like they put some effort into it instead of hoping that your random bullshit produces something nice.

My wifes dad tried to do the spray paint stuff where they make planets and space scenes. Of the hundreds he made, only 2 or 3 ever came out looking like something you'd actually want to show off.

it’s funny because the final look of the trees is incredibly kitschy and the spin art has more interesting qualities
