Today, for my art project, I spent hours painting my whole body in black spots with acrylic paint. I then went and stood outside in the snow, naked, so I could take pictures of it. Only then to find out the camera was out of batteries. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after some cajoling, I finally posed naked for my long-term partner and his Polaroid camera. After saying he would cherish the intimate snapshots forever, he almost immediately forgot them on a crowded bus. FML
Today, I was lining a soccer field. I had the entire grid laid out, so I began to paint with a handheld cart. I finished the entire field without looking back once. I forgot to put paint in the cart. I walked around a field for an hour painting with air. FML
Today, I went to buy some spray paint for a project. I've never used a spray can before, so I decided to try it on paper provided. Unfortunately I didn't hold the can the right way and ended up with black, permanent, paint all over my face in the middle of a store. FML
Today, I woke up early to watch the sunrise from the top of a mountain after a two-hour hike in the dark. I reached the summit just in time for the most spectacular sunrise… then realized that my camera battery had been sitting on the charger at home the entire time. 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, 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, it was my high school graduation. I brought my camera to capture these last memories, only to discover that the batteries were dead. When I got home and went to change them, I realized they were not dead, they were just put in the wrong way. FML
Today, I was painting my mom's house, which so far had taken 12 hours over two days. All of a sudden there was a wind storm. All of the leaves stuck to the wet paint. 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 my art class we had to paint a nude portrait of a fat, old woman. About halfway through the piece, and while painting her fat rolls, I realized she was the only person other than myself I had ever seen naked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did anybody ever think that maybe she was going to cover up her ******? Maybe with her hands, or a prop of some sort. But all of you who are saying that it's illegal, it's her property, she can do that if she wishes. For those saying it's not art, think about the impact behind that piece. If she had a reason behind why she was doing that, then its art. maybe she was showing how cancer can cause you to lose part of your self, of how sexual assume can take away apart of you, why is it up to us to say that it is or isn't art?

Now ur just being racist. thinking that just because u paint ur body BLACK that no one can notice ur naked. If a black person went outside in the snow, you would still know that they were naked!

Sounds like a kinda dumb art project.

Don't put acrylic paint on your skin. It's not good good for it. At least most acrylic paints are toxic.

What was it supposed to represent?

I know this is old, but I gotta say it. To sit here and tell OP what she was doing isn't even art, is completely disrespectful. OP was more than likely doing a black and white photo, so with the blacks of the paints and the whites of her skin against the whites of the snow, that would have been beautiful. But no, apparently nobody has imagination anymore. They all see the words "naked" "paint" and "snow" and automatically start with the negativities. There's plenty of creative arts that have nudity in them, I'm guessing nobody is cultured enough to know this. Anyway, YDI for not checking out your batteries before you started painting yourself, BUUUUT, that also sucks because you did all of that work for nothing. I hope eventually something worked out, given how many years ago this was. xD
