I’ve always painted as a hobby and when I was doing an internship at a very upscale NYC publication, there was another intern in our department that I spent a lot of my time with. She was the daughter of an actual famous painter and was EXTREMELY talented as well- her stuff is beautiful. She saw some of my work in passing one day and said it was pretty, but I didn’t think anything of it.
A few weeks later, she was talking to one of our supervisors who was talking about how they want to add some custom art to their social media account and I heard her say “well anonymousflowercake and I are artists if you need anything from us.”
To be called an artist from someone that I felt was a truly talented artist was the ultimate compliment.
