Picture people projecting paintballs from peaky precipices onto a prepared ponderous plastic pictureboard, parking lot, or pastureland.
Poor placement? Perhaps a programmed pointillism plotting processor points a paintball pistol for perfect precision.

but purely painful process. |
|

could you possibly rephrase that po? I'm lost in the UKism. |
|

Mr Burns, the concept was to create pointillism artwork using paintballs by dropping them at a very high altitude. |
|
| |
[TL]: The processor part was a post-thought. I probably should've prepared more presentation on the point, focusing on the people and pinnacles. Plus the 'p's were preventing proper procedure. |

Sorry RayfordSteele, you had me at "Prodigous Paintings
Projecting Paintballs" |
|
| |
But you lost me at "programmed pointillism plotting
processor" |
|
| |
Processed Pointillism? What's the point? |
|
| |
Pretty pricy picture - perhaps photoshop? Plus pesky pwind pcurrents pthat pwould probably pruin painting. |
|
| |
PLEASE!! pointless photoshopping prohibited! ... perhapse posting prevelant paintball pictures produces pre-pubecent plot plunders |
|

Proposed Portland paintings
pose paintball peppering
possibility to persons peering out
of post office. Picture postman
going postal on painters. + |
|
| |
Picture: purposely painting people's posteriors with petite portraits in purple, painful welts. Plus!! |

Is it paintball season ? If so anybody fancy jumping into a bear suit whilst i kit out in the 'Troy J Hurtubise' anti grizzly suit. |

Interesting idea and amusing annotations but the problem with the idea is the resulting painting. Pointillism seeks to replace the physical mixing of paints which produce a variety of colours, with the optical mixing of tiny dots of primary colour to create (in the eye/brain) the impression of the same variety of colour. The paintballs on impact would create large splats rather than small, confined dots and I suspect this would dilute the overall effect. Tiny drops might be dripped from a small height to create a traditional result but this would remove the fun of the impact. Alternatively a giant target could be used and the paintball guns calibrated to prevent the splats from overlapping. The giant painting would then need to be viewed from a great distance. Still gets a + though for entertainment value. |

The size of the resulting painting and the requirement that it be viewed at a distance produces a solution. Parking lots. Aren't you sick of those plain grey or black asphalt car parks round your tall office or condo building? Why not paint them in splendid colorful array with the [RS] Programmable Paintball Pointillist Projector mounted on the roof of your building? Adds value to the Penthouse, as you get the best picture. |
|
| |
A drawback might be that you'd need to color-match the cars, and insist they keep to their designated parking spaces, so as not to spoil the effect when the painting is covered. Added bonus - inconvenient visitors with ill-matched vehicles get encouraged to leave early. |

Or forced into conformity through colors from above. |
|
| |
The idea here was that the plotting processor would target the paintball gun, not create a print on a computer. |
