“Could you like… die in a tragic way?”

“Why?”

“You can’t make art if you’re dead.”

“Don’t you like my art?”

“I like it so much, I want there to be scarcity, so the art appreciates in value!”

“Fine, I’ll kill myself, but I’m painting you as a butthole before I do.”

“Perfect! Make sure you write a heartbreaking note! ‘Ta-ta’!”.

reminds me of pictures for sad children whose artist also had a tragic story
