It was the actual post count that was missing, it was the icon that displays next to your avatar.

choffer Posted May 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2022 This isn't a thing I often wonder, just something I'm wondering right now. So a mate of mine is an artist. Paintings and that. He's just spent the weekend staying at mine and wandering around town with his paints. He gets in last night and shows me what he's done. All very nice, little paintings about the size of a large postcard. As he's leaving, he chucks a couple in my kitchen bin, saying they weren't up to his usual standard. His work goes for decent money, the larger pieces are worth several grand. So the dilemma is, do I retrieve them from the bin and keep them or do I respect his decision that they aren't good enough?

If you keep for your house, you can never have him over again. This feels like a George Costanza dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels like a George Costanza dilemma. This is exactly the concern. He's an occasional visitor so I wouldn't be able to put them up. I'll just stick them in a drawer and when his work starts to get proper famous, I'll send a proxy to Christies with them and see what we get. Edited May 23, 2022 by choffer To confirm I'm deffo keeping them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you just tell him that you saw them in the bin, really liked them and wanted to keep them? That it would be nice to be able to display something your mate made whilst staying with you. He can't exactly object and if he does then you can always just keep them in the drawer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty much what I told him. He suggested that they were well below his usual standard that he wanted them binned but when I see him next month he’s going to bring me a good one. So I bin the sub-par ones and get a nice one in return. Feels like a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the substandard ones out, apply some painted 'fixes' to them and mount them in pride of place so that when he comes round next time you can show him how you've brought his rubbish paintings up to standard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2022 Does @Hornso enjoy updating the loans thread or is it a millstone around his neck at this stage? Also how long does he take doing it each week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how long does he take doing it each week? You’ll never know… I enjoy it 90% of the time. It’s definitely more enjoyable when it’s about the kids and they are doing well. Less enjoyable when it’s a midweek Wesley DNP. Reckon a full weekend takes 30 minutes. Feel like I’ve got to bring something to the website. 7 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
