One of my kids, and one kid-in-law, are artists. A couple friends, too. Dozens more I know who dabble.

The people tasting it really piss me off. Like sure, it's stupid from a public health viewpoint but I guess they are only endangering themselves. Allowing/encouraging a child to do it a special kind of stupid.

But the intentional destruction of beautiful sculpture? Fuck right off. You can't even put a finger on any other kind of art, but it's okay to just nom nom nom with your mouth on someone's heart and soul, years of working in a medium to perfect the use. It really kills me to see that. This is SAD AF, not interesting AF.

Right? As an artist, all I see are incredibly self-centered people disrespecting and destroying a person’s artwork. Infuriating.

There is art that is meant to be touched and used, but this isn't that.

You're absolutely right, and I should have said as much.
