Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML

Oh my god. That's rough... Is your mom actually delusional though? Possibly mentally challenged? Did she throw away your drawings as a child? Jesus. You definitely did not deserve this one. Condolences...

that's awful. your mother had no business doing that, especially since it wasn't even her house. my place is forever cluttered with papers and such from my husband - writing, drawings, school work, and so on, and it is maddening that he leaves it lay everywhere but i would never dare throw any of it away without asking. i just stack it up on the desk. what does get me though, is when he has the nerve to complain about the mess around the place when i'm basically not allowed to clean up his shit.

I know she meant well... but shit, I would have the hardest time not finding her, and yelling at her until i felt better.

I can't believe I am saying this, but YDI. I am an artist myself. I am also very lazy, but even I take the time to put drawings somewhere safe, like a binder or portfolio

Your mom is either an idiot or hates you working as an artist and knew exactly what she was doing.

Your mom's a bitch. Wow. I'm so sorry. Just remember - what goes around, comes around =]

Why doesn't she know what your job is?

Does your mom know you are an artist? I am one too and my mother is scared to touch any of my work. Either way, that REALLY sucks! FYL for sure.

this is terrible! i know your mom was just trying to do you a favor, but really, she should never have thrown out things of yours without asking you first. she could have just cleaned your desk and placed all the papers in some boxes or something. i hope things get better!

#2, you never throw away ANYONE'S papers without asking. duh
