I just left a message for Brooke and I saw your name in the comments, I have been watching your videos for many years!! Best wishes to you Tim

I sort of had a similar experience in art school-people stealing or damaging other’s artwork, professors making nasty comments or breaking students art, employers putting me down, calling me stupid or mediocre… I don’t know why people need to crush other people’s dreams to try make themselves feel bigger. It made me realize why people hate artists. I stopped making art for 2 years after I graduated and almost dropped out my last year. I became super depressed too and luckily my desire to make art was still in me and after some healing, found myself again. Therapy also helped me process a lot of the abuse I witnessed and was given, so that I could create without restraints on my mind. There’s so much elitism and gatekeeping and grossness in these communities, especially if you’re lower income or a minority. Also, people on Reddit can be so unhinged and have way too much time on their hands. Many of the communities on there are full of miserable people with nothing better to do than spread that everywhere or come up with conclusions about everything. The last story broke my heart, 2020 was awful, but as an artist myself putting all that time and energy into something for it to just be thrown out I’d have such a hard time grieving that loss!! I am so sorry you had to go through all of this. ❤ Know you aren’t alone and it was very brave of you to share all of this. Keep on going and don’t give up no matter what anyone or life gives you!

There was a generational shift at some point. I know an artist, well into her senior years now, who has nothing but good things to say about the art school education she received. My experience in architecture school was much as you describe art school, and I was deemed to be a good student, yet I still was abused and humiliated unbelievably. The worst of it is, you're still young, and you can think this is appropriate behaviour from so-called teachers. I did have a tutor in my final year who said "Humiliation is abuse", so maybe things have changed for the better. They certainly needed to.

How dreadful! My teachers were all well established artists in England. They had no need to be brutal. We all starved together.. only the models had a regular income ! You need to publish details of such teachers (without flouting the libel laws). Just check their present output online and you will see how crummy they are, if they are still working!

Thank you for sharing your stories Brooke! The worst experience of my art career happened in 2022. I had just opened a website to sell my artwork and bought an inkjet printer to make my own high-quality prints with. I was getting the e-commerce side of my site set up when I decided I couldn't tolerate another day of my abusive, co-dependant relationship of 10 years. I escaped from my ex without a job, and had no support system to fall back on due to said codependency and relationship dynamics. I quickly ended up homeless and had to sell my printer, camera, and other supplies to be able to find an apartment to build a new life. My brain had learned that starting an art business = homelessness, so I promptly dissolved my LLC and gave up on art completely. I learned that I shouldnt tolerate toxic relationships and that I should plan the financial side of an art business better and have a full-time job to support myself while my art business grows. 2 years later, I've started a new KZread channel and am taking art seriously again as a side job while I figure out how to make an art business work for me.

Brooke, your talent for videos is almost equal to your talent for painting. I am so impressed. My worst experience as an artist was in 2006 and 2007. I sold my house and made about $97,000 in profit. I moved into an Artist community and painted full-time and held gallery strolls each month. I sold paintings, but I also had a lot of people coming to my gallery stroll because I was offering free wine and food and spending lots of money. I got a lot of press, including being on TV and featured in our local city magazine and it was wonderful for a time. I was incredibly happy. Then the riff raff moved into the area selling drugs and doing drugs in the open, and it was a dangerous place for a single woman. People became afraid to come to gallery stroll because of these things. After a year and a half of being in the studio/gallery, I ran out of money. I had to move out of the Artist community and into a boring apartment with no room for a studio space. This was over a decade ago and in the interim, I have moved more times than I can count and owned and sold two more houses. I am currently in an apartment using my living room as my art studio space. I guess my biggest lesson from this is that everything changes and we must be resilient!

Thanks for taking the time to keep posting content for us. Im an artist that has been purposely avoiding any social media. This was very helpful for me given we havw had similar experiences unfortunately. Super shitty these things happened to you! Going forward, im glad your doing better now and hope you are maintaining well.

Great video Brooke! Thanks for sharing your story 💕

Stupendous, Brooke. You and this video. You asked. I was 24 years old (in 1984) and got a job as Deputy Warden of a community college. The Warden )my boss) was a bitter (that word again), twisted, malevolant who was itching for his retirement (he was 55). He took pleasure, daily, in destroying my confidence by shredding my work of the previous day / evening. I had not, until this point in my life, met a truly evil person, someone intent on getting his kicks by messing up other people (I was not the only one, but I was certainly his fave kicking bag, until I wised up). I thank that man. He taught me SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

Yours is way worse I'm so sorry that happened to you! I watched your whole series with Tim and remember hearing those first two stories, so awful. I recently learnt the importance of waiting long enough before varnishing! Was rushing to get a commission shipped in time for Christmas and went ahead and varnished it too soon. I came back to package it the next day and a whole section of the painting had literally disintegrated!! (the section had a lot of ivory black in the mix which I forgot dries so slow) long story short: had a breakdown, removed varnish, repainted, WAITED, revarnished and now it's safely with the customer thank god

Loved this video and how sassy it was Brooke! I'm a newer art business but I hadn't even thought about insurance. Thanks for the tip for the future! My worst experience wasn't awful but just made me disappointed in myself. I couldn't get find a job during the pandemic so I opened commissions for my art just to scrape up any money I could. My aunt purchased one and I way undercharged for the amount of work I did (not just in a "oh you're a new artist so your prices will start low" kind of way, like $50 for a full commissioned portrait that took ages). My friend even messaged me immediately after seeing the rates on my commission announcement post and said "ma'am you are worth more." (true friend right there). I also took wayyyyy too long to complete it (2 years working on it inconsistently) to the point where I felt bad even making my aunt pay the $50 I was charging. I also used a terrible quality photo that made it hard to complete the piece AND I screwed up the proportions and had to repaint half of her face. Just an absolute mess all around. So now I'm gonna remember to include a timeline in my commission contract to hold myself accountable, not just my customers.

Thank you so much h for sharing these terrible experiences! I just went to your site, your work is outstanding! Congratulations on your hard-earned skills and fortitude! Much continued success!

Great videos and storytelling I am enjoying your content. I am getting back into oil painting after a seven year break. I am looking forward to experiencing problems just like these. #funTimesAhead ... but on a serious note, I am looking forward to creating more art.

Brooke, this is so well made! I love seeing how you get even better at this whole youtube thing with every new video :) I remember from your IG when the paintings went missing and think about this drama every time I ship a bigger piece overseas. Just had a little scare with a painting I shipped to India and what kept me sane was remembering I am not the only artist in this misery and it could happen to anyone ;) Love what you're doing here, keep up the great work!

Love the positivity from the back of this, great way to get your character across, keep up the positivity & beautiful work!

Bruh…….😨🥺😭 That’s rough but being able to sell prints eases the blow. I had a series of pieces selling at a local bar downtown for a month. The bar was great with handling payments since everything was cash only and I collected 100% of the profits. Only downside was the security of these pieces on the walls. When I picked up my work, 12 of 15 pieces appeared to have been sold. I was so excited, it took me awhile to count the cash and the owners of the bar also labeled each piece with the payment. A positive relationship and trust was always there. After I got home and put everything away, I did a recap and noticed 1 piece was actually missing. It was not labeled with the other payments and it was not with the remaining pieces. Unfortunately, it was stolen and I look at it as a lesson learned. It’s actually kind of flattering that my work is worth the demand of a 5-finger discount. But I can’t be mad at the bar either since they had been so good to me offering a spot to sell my work, they just needed to figure out a better system in keeping artist stuff secured. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@jdos5643 Hey, it honestly depends on the bar. It doesn’t hurt to talk to the owners and ask about getting wall space to sell. The 2 bars I sell regularly at want artwork that fits their theme. It benefits you as the artist and enhances the atmosphere where you’re displaying. Some bars may charge for the space or take a percentage off whatever sells. My situations have been unique in a sense. My friends bar takes 10% of whatever I sold and allows me to sell at anytime. The other didn’t charge for anything but only allowed me 1 month to sell as they like to rotate artists giving others opportunities, but you can sell again every few months if available. It’s great exposure but it can be risky with how things are handled. I learned to document and get things in writing so you have some sort of insurance on your work since some places may not have tight security watching your stuff. Or make sure they are displayed in a spot where only the owners/employees can get to if a customer is interested. But I highly suggest talking to your local bar and see if they’d like to set up an event you can participate and sell your works. That definitely helps and I’ve had other bars reach out and offer to give me space to sell as well. 🙂

Well done Brooke. Your integrity towards your collectors is to be commended and this story can be used to build trust at the very least. I know of an artist who was contacted by a collector wanting to know where his painting was. It turned out the gallery had sold his painting twice and shipped it to the second purchaser. They had been payed in full both times. The artist painted another painting for the customer and sent it over to him personally. Your missing paintings looked great by the way.

I cannot believe you had to go through these experiences. I learnt from this video that no matter how bad experience I have in my art carrier, I will never give up on my dream and keep on going and learning from those experiences. Very grateful to follow your social media as a little kid and now as a undergrad fine arts student. Hope to meet you someday and learn about being a fulltime artist and the business side of art. Keep creating and keep inspiring!

Beautiful video again, and wow i felt your pain ! I don't have a lot of experience in the artworld, since i can say i am getting serious since last year. In that year, i worked 21 hours in my other job, plus all the work i did as an artist, participate in 7 artfare, and sold for only couple hundred box of derived product and one art piece (that i sold for 100 box). I have two young children under 5. Also followed a course that was one day a week plus homework, for four months. So, i fell into depression for too much work in the past two years actually. So what i learned from that is to choose wisely my projects. To evaluate better my capacity and I will focus on one job now. Before, i did not know that it was possible to live from your art. Now that i know, i have put so much work and effort in getting better and try to show my work to the world. It is hard work really, so i admire all that you do, it is impressive.

Jfc on the last story, I'm so sorry ;; I mean they were all shitty, but the last one must have been so painful. A lesson I've learned from my own shipping nightmare: Keep a very detailed record of what's in the insured packages you send, and also take pictures of the package before you ship so you can describe what it looks like in detail to the post office. Also ask the recipient to immediately take a picture before opening the package if anything seems sus about it and to also keep the packaging for the post office to inspect in case you need to file an insurance claim if anything is wrong like something is damaged and there are missing contents. Long story short I shipped some of my stock to a warehouse in a different country and the package was basically lost for a month and a half and when it arrived it was water damaged, a chunk of items had been stolen and a whole batch of expensive prints had been ruined. The value was not anywhere near what you experienced, but for a struggling small business owner it was devastating, especially because it delayed the reopening of my store for so long when I was dependent on income from it :'>

Wonderful video Brooke.. really liked that storyline editing where you go from place to place. Not bad for someone from Singapore :) Anyway my worst experience was some years ago when I sent a bunch of artwork from Australia to Dallas for a gallery exhibition and ended up having none of them returned (most likely sold). So I did a Prince (or a Swifty).. in that I repainted most of them again and ended up selling the 'copies' later on. Yes I forged my own work :) Oh well, life goes on right? As long as our sense of humour remains intact. Anyway, once again, great vid.. a lot of work I know.. but still... keep em coming!
