This Is Why Artists Suffer

I overhear two young guys looking at a large piece of abstract modern art.

Friend #1: “I could’ve painted that.”

Friend #2: “Sure, but he actually did.”

Friend #1: “Fine, give me some paint and a canvas and see what I could do in an hour.”

Friend #2: *Googles something.* “This is how much oil paint and a canvas this size costs.”

Friend #1: *Looks at phone.* “D***. It might be cheaper to buy the painting and just pretend I did it.”
