Today, my friend showed me a creepy piece of artwork he'd drawn. I laughed and said that it would give me nightmares, meaning it as a compliment. Turns out, this one was in honor of his dead grandmother, who'd raised him. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML
Today, my grandpa saw one of the paintings in the guest room at my house. "What the fuck?" he snorted, then said whoever painted it should "stick to their damn day job". I painted it. FML
Today, I was babysitting my nephew and we decided to color together. He drew a picture of someone who looked dead, almost zombie-like, while everyone else looked pretty normal. When I asked who it was, he said in a serious, scary voice, "It's you." FML
Today, I was admiring a beautiful painting I had hung in my bedroom. My brother kindly pointed out that when flipped upside down, it takes the shape of a lunatic girl with bleeding eyes. Now I can't unsee it. FML
Today, my friend was showing me pictures of her and her family. I told her to stop at one of the pictures. I started laughing my back off and said that she looked grotesque. She asked me if I was serious, I swore that I was. It was actually a picture of her sister, who died 1 year ago. FML
Today, I took a selfie and I looked creepy in it, so I sent it to a friend thinking it would be funny. He just said, "Dude, that's what you look like. I don't get it." FML
Today, my art teacher fawned over my friend's photographs of random children and people making out, while she called my picture of an old man looking thoughtful on a pier "creepy" and "voyeuristic." FML
Today, I showed my friends the picture I drew picturing the four of us in a 'zombie apocalypse' setting. Turns out they never saw me as their friend, and I'm creeping them out. FML
Today, I saw a guy in the street drawing caricatures, and I decided to pay him to do one of me. Being a caricature, I looked pretty monstrous in it. When I showed it to my mum later, she shuddered and said, "Yeah, looks just like you." FML
Today, my deranged coworker sent me a text message containing a picture that she just took of her uncle. It was at his funeral. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Creepy is creepy, regardless of how noble the purpose is. Don't sweat it.

What the hell? What kind of compliment is that?

Think. It should be obvious an art piece might be intentionally creepy.

Ok. If you were a creepy artist and someone mentioned having nightmares over your art, you'd be flattered, no?

I see what you mean, but it still sounds funny to me.

"You creep me out... in a nice way" Yup, doesn't sound right.

*sigh* When someone creates a piece of art that looks like it's supposed to be creepy, and you tell them that it indeed does look creepy, it's not a personal attack on the artist. When I compliment a friend's cooking, I'm not saying that I want to butcher and eat them.

Did he use an odd color scheme or just dim tones? tell him that's why you think its creepy not the drawing itself. the tones of a piece really can change the whole theme.

Yeah typically being a dick when critiquing unexplained art makes you look awesome...

Don't try to cover it, OP. He'll know you meant what you originally said. Study it again and give a new opinion based on what you now know. From now on, the only thing you should say when critiquing a painting is, "I can only imagine the raw emotion you were feeling when you did this." Artsy people eat that s*** up.

"You're the ugliest, nastiest, stupidest person I've ever met. But I mean that as a compliment!" How the **** does that work?

I believe you overlooked 'artwork'.

Are you retarded? When did she say any of those things? If someone draws something that's supposed to be scary, and you tell them it's so scary you'll get nightmares, yes that's a compliment.
