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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML
Today, it took me five hours to paint my deck, only to have it ruined by the neighbor's cat running all over the wet paint. FML
Today, I was finishing up my art project that was due the next day. I was really tired and fell asleep on my table. Three hours later, I woke up to find my project torn to bits. I went out and saw my cat vomiting out feathers and other materials I used for my project. FML
Today, I painted my daughter's bedroom. When I wasn't paying attention, the cat walked through the paint tray. There are now Barney purple paw prints all over the house. FML
Today, artwork that I had been working on for months was destroyed, leaving me almost in tears. The culprit? A lonely pigeon who'd got into the room and shat all over it. FML
Today, I was looking through an old box of personal artwork when I realised the entire box was damp. This was all my own art from the past 3 years, smudged and smelling of cat urine. I was supposed to showcase some of it in a competition winning gallery this month. FML
Today, after spending 5+ hours of my life painting a portrait of someone's cat for them, I finally finished it, perfect condition, no mistakes. I was supposed to be paid 300 bucks for it. Got 50 bucks because it was too "vibrant." FML
Today, I was working on a painting and went to take a sip of my tea. Instead, I took a swig of paint water. FML
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What I hate about some modern art is that a red dot in the middle of a canvas or even a blank canvas can even be called art. I could do that, but I couldn't make a Picasso or a Dalí.

Advertise it as a painting with the opinion of a cat expressed through it's lavish and emotional touches done so as to show the felines inner artist and deepest thoughts brought to voice in this world with no ears for cats...

modern art: "I could've done that" "yeah but you didn't"

Why not display the cat instead.

You've got to be kitten me. I'd be lion if I said these wordplay puns weren't funny. Ok, I'll stop it right meow.

You've cat to be kitten me right meow! Am I the only one wondering why the painting wasn't on an easel? Sounds like it was laying down where it shouldn't have been in the first place. You kinda deserved it.

People had spoken. It doesn't mean that people are right, it means they think the same. And they are many. They will stone their leader with morals if he stands in their way.

I guess you have a new rule: lock the art studio door so the cat can't get in there. That's heartbreaking OP. :(

Cats can be such assholes, that sucks OP. Call it Cat Attack? Story behind the painting!

You say that as if the cat deliberately did it, knowing it would upset her. :p

Cats come from Satan's arm. They are evilllll.
DoubleDosexo 12
how did it not deliberately do it? people do the same thing before purposely destroy your stuff, in front of you. And after all, humans are mammals too.

I love how animals always seem to have a knack for doing just the wrong thing when it's most crucial :( A dog would just chew your painting up though, so I don't think you should trade up ;P

Say a cat painted it and it double in value.

New title for the painting "my cat is an asshole

Art can be bizarre and unique. Call it "Catastrophe in Art". That has to be very disappointing, but try to turn it into a positive.
