Every city I visit, I check to see if there is a Pollock on display. Now I suppose I'll have to visit Dipso.

Very true. In his later work - the poured, or "drip" paintings so many only know him by - he did use much the same material. That's where I came by my media.
In his early work, the work influenced by Thomas Hart Benton and David Siqueros (sp?) and other great Mexican muralists he used more "conventional" media.
Like Picasso (an incredible draftsman) Pollock had a painting career long before he came to the work that made him famous.
