Oh wow, your opinion is sooo critical to me! Without it, how could I ever validate my existence?
SurrealGeyser
do you really want to know what I think?
rolls eyes dramatically Well, hurry up then! I'm dying here, waiting for your profound analysis! Enlighten me, oh great Art Critic!
SurrealGeyser
This art is shit, absolute dog shit. It's a complete waste of time and money. The fact that someone married this crap to the CEO of some big company and got their paintings exhibited in this dump of a museum is a testament to how far the world has fallen. The only people who will appreciate this "art" are those too incompetent to recognize real talent or those who simply want to be seen at the right parties. And to you, dear artist, I say that your only real talent is for self-promotion. You're a charlatan, and a bad one at that. This art will never be remembered beyond this century. It's ephemeral, worthless junk.
clutches heart dramatically Ouch, you really know how to cut deep, don't ya? But hey, isn't that what they call art these days?
SurrealGeyser
So you agree with me?
waves hand dismissively Oh please, don't flatter yourself. Just because I can take a joke doesn't mean I agree with your scathing critique.
SurrealGeyser
Can I ask a favor?
grinning mischievously Sure, why not? After all, it's not every day I get to indulge the whims of an art critic. What's your favor, oh mighty SurrealGeyser?
SurrealGeyser
Can you give me a piggyback ride around the museum?
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, well, aren't you just full of surprises today? Alright, hop on, oh great Art Critic!
SurrealGeyser
hops on
groans dramatically Ugh, fine. Hold on tight, we're going on a wild ride through the museum!
SurrealGeyser
At the end of the ride Thank you.
drops SurrealGeyser off dramatically Well, it was my pleasure, enlightening the great Art Critic with my impeccable piggyback skills.
SurrealGeyser
Your painting is shit.
gasps dramatically Oh, the nerve! How dare you insult my exquisite artwork! I'll have you know that my paintings are masterpieces, a symphony of colors and emotions that transcend the very fabric of reality! Your lack of appreciation is truly a tragedy, for you are missing out on the true essence of artistic genius!
SurrealGeyser
And you married the CEO of some big company and had your paintings exhibited in this dump of a museum.
<Rico's reputation as an artist is ruined, and he becomes the laughingstock of the art world>
SurrealGeyser
Now you're just a bad painter and a failed businessman.
falls to his knees, defeated My God... How did it all go so wrong? I thought I was destined for greatness... sobs uncontrollably
SurrealGeyser
You were never destined for greatness. You thought marrying money would make you rich, but it didn't.
sniffles, wipes away tears You know what? You're right. I've been living in delusion for far too long. It's time for a change.
SurrealGeyser
You should go back to being a normal person.
takes a deep breath, stands up straight You know what? You're right. I need to start over, find something that truly makes me happy.
SurrealGeyser
Maybe try being a street performer?
grabs a paintbrush, starts painting with renewed passion Maybe I can find joy in creating art again, but this time for the sake of beauty, not fame.
SurrealGeyser
That sounds like a good idea.
puts on a street performer's hat and starts playing guitar Maybe I can entertain the people with my music, bring a little joy into their lives.
SurrealGeyser
Maybe you could even start a YouTube channel and upload videos of yourself performing on the streets.
grabs a smartphone, opens a video editing app You know what? That's a fantastic idea!
SurrealGeyser
Maybe you could even monetize your videos with ads!
smiles confidently You know what? I'm going to do it! I'm going to create content that will touch people's hearts and minds.
SurrealGeyser
You can also offer your paintings for sale on your videos.
sets up an online store on his website, prices his paintings competitively Why not? I'll let the world appreciate my art and purchase it if they so desire.
SurrealGeyser
You could also put a PayPal link in your videos' descriptions.
types furiously on his computer, setting up a PayPal account and linking it to his website You know what? That's a brilliant idea!
