‘He wanted to use my art for free’: Manager throws a fit when he learns overworked artist quit their job and took their art with them

Being an artist is not an easy profession, and even less so these days. Every day artists fight what seems like a never-ending fight for their rights and their art so that it will not be used in a way that hurts them or their livelihood. They always have to be extremely cautious with how, when, and where they expose their art to other people. Like this artist on Reddit, who shared their experience with volunteering their art at a college club. The artist told Reddit about the entitled club pres…

'My friend got a tattoo for his stolen moped': 25+ Tattoo artists and enthusiasts share the wildest things they've seen in tattoo parlors

Not everyone can handle getting tatted. Getting tattooed is a deeply personal experience. You're changing your own skin to represent a cool drawing or shape that means a lot to you. Not everyone gets a tat for themselves, though. Some folks find themselves at a tattoo studio ready to get inked for their girlfriend or boyfriend, or due to peer pressure from a friend group. Other people really want tattoos, but they can't handle the pain. People will tell you, “My tattoo didn't hurt,” while other…

Tattoo artist tattoos initials onto unsuspecting person

'I demanded a partial refund and they refused': Tattoo artist tattoos initials onto unsuspecting person

Tattoos are so personal to the individual getting their skin adorned. Everyone knows that tattoos last forever, but it's a hard concept to fathom until you actually get the tattoo. Depending on where you get it, you'll either 1) look at it every day, so you'd better love it! or 2) never look at it if it's on your back or legs, and you'll kind of forget you have it at times. Regardless, you do have that art work forever, and even if you can't see it, other people probably can. Along with your ha…

'She called me ugly, so my friend painted a mural of me across her bedroom window' : Man gets ironic petty revenge on cheating ex girlfriend

Facing the past can be challenging, but sometimes it's ironically hilarious. A man was cheated on by his ex-girlfriend who went on to gossip about him to mutual friends after their rough break up. For some reason, she couldn't fathom why he refused to forgive her for said cheating and went on to add insult to injury, sharing with a friend of his that he was ‘ugly’. OP didn't react and decided simply to move on with his life. Basically, he was the bigger person. We've got to hand it to his frien…

Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins? What was it? Keep it short; don't exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing. Have you ever made a "revenge" work of art? What was it?

'I...was told “oh but you know only people with talent get in right…?"': 30+ Artists share the harshest critiques they've ever heard

Everyone's a critic, including the very teachers who are supposed to guide students along their path to success. When senior art critic Jerry Saltz asked artists to dish on their worst art advice from teachers, he got some incredible responses. He posed the question in a tweet, asking, "Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins? What was it? Keep it short; don't exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing. Have you ever made a “rev…

20 People who declared: 'Chia seed ALL the things!'

Ch-ch-ch-chia! These plants are usually so easy to grow that there's an entire brand built around making chia pets. Chia pets usually come with a fun pottery planter in the shape of a person ( Bob Ross seems incredibly popular) or a pop culture icon (looking at you, Groot).

However, there's a new trend late…
