#76, I commend you on being able to be organized like that, but I have a few friends who work in graphic design, and they are NEVER that put together. Their workspaces have drawings and notes covering the walls, in piles on their desks. It's their organized mess, they work better in it. This doesn't make them lazy or deserving of their hard work being thrown out, it's just how they work; they have their stuff everywhere. In their own space, that shouldn't be a problem. I haven't met any artists who feel the need to organize and file all of their works, especially works in progress.

0_0 doesn't your mom know you're an artist? i'm an artist too and my mom wouldn't dare to throw out any papers and i was raised as an artist so she knows. most moms of artists would know that, what's wrong with yours? lol but maybe she didn't think of it and was only thinking about making you happy.

I'm a full-time artist too and I think I'd kill myself if this happened to me. Though, uh, at least my mum knows that I'm an artist and NOT to touch all the shit I have lying around.

I wouldn't blame you if you were pissed :/ Heck, I wouldn't blame you if you started yelling your head off at her.

"Artist" isnt a job, its a hobby!

Look on the bright side, I think you found a client who really likes your work, since she just bought 7 months of it.

Wow, I would be pissed. How do you not know that an artist's papers are important!?

Damn, thats pretty gutting. Oh and #97 you're a douche. Who made you king of what is and what isn't a "real job"?

76, no one has to put their sketches in a portfolio to protect themselves against zealous parents who come over unexpectedly and clean out a work space. For some people, sketches out in the open IS organization. Everyone's mind works differently.

#99 you're an idiot. know what you're talking about before saying it
