Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML
Today, I finished a painting I'd spent 3 weeks working on for an exhibition. When I came back from lunch, my cat was perched above it on my desk. He looked at me, then down at the painting, then jumped down onto it. He slipped and smeared the wet paint everywhere, ruining the whole thing. FML
Today, as a respected artist, I was running a workshop with a bunch of rowdy college kids. I was in the middle of demonstrating a painting technique when I accidentally washed my paintbrush in my coffee instead of my paint water. They waited until I then drank from it to burst out in hysterics. FML
Today, in art class, everybody was showing the paintings that we have been working on for weeks. Everyone was cheering and clapping. When mine came up, nobody clapped. FML
Today, after nearly three weeks of hard work, I finally completed my best drawing yet, a self-portrait. I was incredibly excited to take it to class tomorrow. That is, until I came home from a walk later on, only to find my brother had drawn a stick figure on it, wanking into my face. FML
Today, I finished a big painting for art class. It's also the day my little brother decided it didn't have enough puke on it. FML
Today, in an attempt to flirt with a cute guy in art class I barely know, I put on his sweater while he was in the bathroom. He came back just in time to see me spill white paint all over it. FML
Today, I turned in my best painting yet for a scholarship competition. For once in my life, I was actually proud of a piece I'd done. I ended up losing the scholarship to some dickface who'd basically just glued together some crap from the dollar store and called it conceptual art. FML
Today, after I got home from school I went to my room to find the maid had cleaned it, also to find a bag labeled "trash" it was all the sketches and paintings I had done in art class, which is my major plan for college. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Find the person who did it and put butt **** all over their face. I don't mean just the words, either.

Where'd you leave it that people were so freely to write on it?

It might've worked for you, so let's hope a second round works for OP.

I would probably have a breakdown. Is there anyway you can find who did it and get them punished?

oh no, that's terrible

Haha. Not sure why, but that sentiment sounded most insincere in my head.

Could you perhaps make it fit in somehow?

Can you touch it up to hide it without ruining your work? Someone was obviously jealous, don't let them get you down. Use that emotion in your next piece.

Sometimes people just can't contain their childish need to be jackasses. Sorry that your hard work had to be the victim of that exact kind of situation. Hopefully you can find out who it was and have them forced to pay you back for the paint used. It'd be a somewhat hollow victory, but it might at least give you a sensation of justice.

What the ****??? Does your school have surveillance cameras?

Omg, as an artist, that's utterly infuriating! I know how much work and patience goes into a painting and whoever did this is a dick. I hope you find them and do something equally worse, good luck!

Someone in college wrote "**** butt"?? That sounds like something an elementary kid or immature teenager would do..not something you'd expect from someone in college.

People saying its "her fault for leaving it laying around" Art galleries?? Ya know, the places where art is "lying around" and have no cases of anything around them. Ever heard of them? No? Okay. And for keeping them safe, some people say laminate projects, you can't laminate canvases or too many things with paint without actually ruining it. Not every thing can be laminated. Sorry it got ruined OP. I bet it was a great piece.

Also the thought of someone purposefully damaging something like that doesn't always occur to people. Not everyone assumes that something bad might happen.
