Okay okay okay, so there’s this famous artist in my town who’s a tool, but he’s very successful. Everyone owns something he’s made.
Now, I personally am not big in his style- just a personal preference that has nothing to do with his personality, but it’s relevant to the story.
Anyhow, I was at the thrift store by my place the other day, and I see this super cool looking painting- and I love it, but it’s like $700 and I don’t have that kind of money.
I get to the till and the manager and I get to talking. It turns out the painting was one of this artist’s early pieces.
I’m just surprised, cause like. It’s REALLY cool looking, and nothing like his signature style.
I tell the owner I’d love to buy it, but can’t afford the tag.
SHE says, “oh, that’s not the actual price, you can have it for $300”.
I am understandably confused.
IT TURNS OUT, the artist HIMSELF absolutely HATES his early work, and when he found out this place had one of his old paintings, he tried to buy it back, supposedly so he could set it on fire or something, BUT THE OWNER THINKS HE’S AN ASS SO SHE JACKED UP THE TAG PRICE.
So. SO. She has this painting nobody wants to buy because it *says* it’s crazy expensive, but she WANTS to get rid of it, because this guy KEEPS COMING IN TO TRY AND BUY IT BACK, and SHE HATES SEEING HIM BECAUSE HE’S A TOOL.
So she is DESPERATE to sell it off, just not to him, because fuck this guy.
So I said. I said, that’s amazing. I also dislike this person. But I love this painting. And if you give me a couple weeks to save up. I will buy it off you. And he will never have it.
SHE SAID YES.
I’ve never been so excited to blow 300 bucks guys
HOLY FUCKING SHITFUCK NONE OF YOU ARE GONNA BELEUVE THIS BUT THIS ASS, THIS TOTAL ASS, HE SHOWED UP AT MY WORK TODAY AND CUT THE LINE IN FRONT OF LIKE 40 PEOPLE HOLY SHIT, HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IVE BEEN PLANNING AND I GOT TO YELL AT HIM, HE HAS NO FUCKING CLUE
How small is your town that you can just tell at your local famous artist lmao that’s amazing
THATS THE CRAZY THING THOUGH, IVE NEVER MET HIM IN PERSON BEFORE IN MY LIFE, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME
Random thrift store owner: “BY BUYING THIS PAINTING YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE NOT THAT TOOL, YOU ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED TO THAT TOOL, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING THIS ITEM ON BEHALF OF THAT TOOL OR AN ASSOCIATE OF THAT TOOL. TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE INFORMATION AND BELIEF THIS PAINTING WILL NOT MAKE ITS WAY INTO THAT HANDS OF THAT TOOL.”
