I'm aware I did not create splatter painting, very few artists create their own style of art, artists simply create art, the concept that is my own is the cards splattered with paint, to the best of my knowledge and everyone whose seen it, it is indeed original. I know I did not create a style of art, I was simply asking if you as an audience consider this to be art
Yes, of course it's considered to be art - it is art - and yes, I think you should pursue it. I like it.
I think you should get a proper job whilst you're pursuing it though because most artists struggle to make a living from their work - although if you market this in the right way I'm sure you have a chance. I wish you the very best of luck.

I got my two year old to paint two large canvases with some of my acrylics and they were a bit like this.
I hung them in my office (in the States) which was pretty modern re the furniture - glass trestle, black leather chair and sofas etc, one wall of windows. Had folk commenting where did you get these two paintings? How much were they? Offers from $250 to $4000.............

Art has a rather close realtionship with fame - Andy Wahol famously recognised this and built a career on exploiting it.
It is not just about what you produce but the context in which you produce it.
Here's a rather dodgy watercolour

What's it worth - well ten grand actually - because it was done by one A Hitler.
It's the publicity around certain pieces of art that gives them their value because people have confidence that their fame will continue to make them attractive to others.
If you want to get rich in art my advice would be to get famous and then sell your art. Doing it the other way around is notoriously difficult.

thank you for all your answers :) jaydah I have no idea how expensive it is to ship to the UK, but if your in the US, I do not feel i can ask any sum of money for these works, they were mostly done on small pieces of cardstock, i'm looking into buying canvas's and creating some larger pieces, i'd like to do some on sheets of glass aswell, but anything ive done so far except the large piece i can ship for around 5 dollars aslong as your in the US, if your really interested i might be up to sending you a complimentary piece, right now i appreciate the value someone else gives my art greater then any possible profit. Everyone else thank you for your comments, its helped see art is just something someone likes, and i've gotten many compliments on what i have done so now i'm starting to consider it art :) i am still a student in high school, no day job yet, but i realize the struggle to make something popular and i do not think I'll be taking that road, I'm not looking to make serious money off this, just cover expenses mostly, and be able to share it with people who like it.
My desk counter is a huge glass slab, ive been dieing to paint it but it was pretty expensive so i'm holding off for now, i wasnt even thinking stained glass but great idea :) i was invisioning a glass panel instead of a picture in a picture frame, the picture would be on the frame essentially without a border or backing, then it would keep a modern, sleek appearance and would be different on any wall color, but I'm guessing nobody would enjoy mounting a kids work on their walls hahaha because i dont know how else youd hang a sheet of glass
