Today, I lost an art contest to some talentless arsepipe whose piece was literally just a broken heart crudely drawn in her own blood. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 submitting a 500-word essay to a writing contest, I found out that I lost to someone who wrote 3 sentences. FML
Today, one of my paintings was accepted into a local art gallery. It would've been a dream come true, had my "best friend" not submitted it under her own name and taken all the credit. FML
Today, while sitting on a bench drawing, some guy went up to me, yelled, “YOUR ART SUCKS” and flipped my sketchpad out of my hands. I’d been working on that piece for hours and now there’s a big black pencil streak on 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, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I found out that my art project, the one I've been working on for the last two weeks and the first piece I felt really comfortable about turning in, was stolen out of the art cupboard. FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML
Today, my ex won a writing competition. His story was inspired by our relationship. In it, I'm a serial killing prostitute. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like she put more heart into her work

Well the judges must have thought it was bloody fantastic. Don't get so heart broken over it.

Oh look, OP is a representational purist. You deserve to lose if you can't even appreciate your competitors' work.

The fact that you called them a talentless arsewipe is a bit odd since they WON. Perhaps you'd be able to further your talent if you crawled out from under that judgmental rock. Art is something that comes from within a human being. Perhaps the judges found MEANING in her work. I don't know what you did for your piece, but maybe they have already seen something like it before. maybe it didn't move them, maybe they couldn't connect with it.

If the winning piece was far shittier than OP's in the eyes of those that mattered at that moment (i.e. The judges), it wouldn't have won. Just because it is not to OP's taste, doesn't mean it's a shitty piece.

I 100% agree! Like I posted down below, the truth of the matter could be OP did not deliver a piece that spoke to the judges. Or the piece could have been an overdone style that they had seen too many times before. However, the fact that OP called them talentless is funny since they actually won the competition and OP lost. With that mindset I'm actually a Gold medal Olympian, because I think the actual winner has no talent.

Ah, hypocrisy. You get to say "that's not art, my kid could make that" about her work, but you get all snooty when I say it about yours.

Why are you complaining? It was an art CONTEST, and she won fair and square. The judges saw something in her artwork that they didn't in yours.

Did they view it as a "conceptual piece"?

don't feel bad about it op. In the scholastic art awards for my area, a yellow piece of paper covered in lines titled "legal pad" got a gold key...
