Can we make today Artist Joke Day?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) June 11th, 2010

Have any good jokes about the artists in your life? Do you have someone you know that is so talented when painting a canvas, but can’t walk and chew gum at the same time? Or just a funny story about someone you know who is creative but other than that, clueless. Share with the rest of us.

A bumper sticker for artists: “My other car is a bike, too.”

I have a friend who is an amazing artist, but one of the clumsiest goofballs I know. She makes some of the most amazing ceramic pieces and paintings – her most recent painting I practically drool over every time I see it because it’s so gorgeous.

Just the other day though, we were talking on the phone and she drops the phone in a bucket of paint. I pretty much couldn’t feel bad for the ruined phone because I was laughing too fucking hard. While trying to clean up, she got paint all over the walls and newly restored floor. Giggles. Her breaking and fucking shit up is pure entertainment for me.

There’s also a lot of little things like her inability to sit still when watching a movie or her constantly losing her web passwords or the fact that she hates to scroll. Yes, scroll. She hates to scroll up and down a web page. I guess it isn’t for everybody. =)

@Vunessuh You were too kind. You passed up on the fact she painted her head with the phone. :)

An artist had been working on a nude portrait for a long time. Every day, he was up early and worked late – bringing perfection with every stroke of his paint brush. As each day passed, he gained a better understanding of the female body and was able to really make his paintings shine.
After a month, the artist had become very weary from this non-stop effort and decided to take it easy for the day. Since his model had already shown up, he suggested they merely have a glass of wine and talk – since normally he preferred to do his painting in silence.

They talked for a few hours, getting to know each other better. Then as they were sipping their claret, the artist heard a car arriving outside. He jumped up and said, “Oh no! It’s my wife! Quick, take off your clothes!”

Who knew there was a whole bunch of artist jokes.

Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like. On the basis of his drawing, the police arrested a mother superior, the minister of finance, a washing machine, and the Eiffel tower.
