Everyone's a critic

Today, it was my first big time art show. To celebrate I went out to lunch with some people whose work was also there. When we got back, police were everywhere. Someone had broken in and stolen all of the art. All except mine. Even burglars don't want my art. FML

"today, my stuff wasn't stolen. FML"

Seriously? You're lucky your hard work didn't get stolen so quit whining. For all you know, the burglars didn't take your art because by the time they reached yours, the alarm went off and they had to make a run for it, not because your art wasn't good.

This reminds me of another FML about a stalker not thinking the OP was attractive, and makes me wonder the same question- why would you WANT that to happen to you? maybe its not the kind of art theyre into. I'd be happy all my stuff wasn't stolen, someone else might buy it.

I can't believe you, I've never seen anyone more whiny and pessimistic in my whole life. If that was my work (and yes, I am an artist) I would probably be so thankful that I might just start believing in God again. Maybe they didn't steal your work because it's not their style, or they didn't have time to take yours. Even if they did just hate your art, it's a matter of taste and not everyone is going to like your art. If you're so naive and thin skinned as an artist that you can't accept that, how did you handle the critiquing and hard work it takes to get to gallery level?

That's what you get for going into art. Go contribute to society instead.

That's not an FML at all. See, if you're new, you should know that your work isn't nearly as valuable as older artists who are better known and can do more. Like 26 said, it's not about how talented you are. Like I said, you should know this. And why the HELL would you complain that you get to keep your art and be able to sell it?

#86- Just because you're ignorant doesnt mean you have to share your ignorant thoughts with the rest of the world. Art is an important part of society. Sucks, though at least your art can still be shown.
