Why all the Pollock hate?

Because Pollock is a talentless alcoholic who stole the spotlight from much more deserving artists thanks only to his girlfriend's influence in the art community?

Agreed. He was also dreadfully boring.

Create a bunch of faux-supernatural occurances and try to create a religious following centered around a deity who is a floating robe.

Then swoop in dressed in a visible wardrobe and make my followers conquer the planet.

I would have to avoid getting covered with anything.

On second thought, I'd probably just steal stuff.
