Sup NS, I am thinking of doing a splatter/ drip painting for my room. I'm going for a jackson pollock-type style. Any tips on what paint I should get or techniques out there? Thanks

Get a spray can or similar and some flat object, or maybe even a concave one. Hold the object in front of the nozzle and aim down at it when you spray. The paint should pool up on it and you should shoot splatter. That may or may not cover a large area.

Usually, I use a fatter cap on a high pressure can, then I hold my trigger finger half way over the front of the tip while I spray. It's messy, but it makes for a good splatter. To get some serious drips, I would hold the can right up against the surface and angle it down.
It all comes down to experimentation. Remember, there is no wrong way to paint!

I've done much in that area. Use a sponge filled with whatever. Place the stuff flat on the floor. Stand above and squeeze the sponge as you move it. Or fill a brush and shake it! Fling it! Just do it!

How big a painting do you want to make? You can use a brush and experiment with different paint viscosity. Pollock used to do this and "dance" around/over the canvas holding the brush to create rhythmic patterns. If you buy mis-tints and a big brush you can cover more surface for a lot less money than spray cans. Also if you load the brush up and paint a horizontal line on a vertical surface, you will get a lot of drips down from the line, similar to Krink.
