How to waste your talent while losing your friends all at once because all you care about is money: A tumblr guide on how to be a cunt to those who admire you.

Imagine if the Mona Lisa was a commission and s/he had no money.

the mona lisa was a commission you shitshill, that’s how artists make a fucking living. it’s how we get the money to pay for things we need, because we don’t want to spend all our time working in a shitty job instead of doing things that are important to us, like working on personal projects or spending time with people we like. by thinking that you deserve free art is basically telling them “your time and skill isn’t worth anything but my personal enjoyment!” and if someone only wanted to be friends with me for free art, i don’t want that friendship because that sounds like an awful friend. artists are people with lives and often art is our only source of income and if you really admired us you would understand and support that.

HAHAHA get a load of the tosswaller who’s perfectly willing to parade their ignorance about the art industry and art history in a public forum. Here’s a tip, sweetcheeks: everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but that doesn’t mean it aint fucking stupid! Relax in the knowledge that people are laughing at your sorry, selfish, juvenile ass!

”Imagine if the Mona Lisa was a commission and s/he had no money.”

Then I suppose Michelangelo was totally like ”Hey pope my bro, lemme paint some shit on Sistine Chapel because I really really LIKE you, nah you don’t need to pay me anything, because we’re such good bros!” and then proceeded to destroy his back painting that stuff for 4 fucking years.
