Vent: Paid $42 for a 'coffee art' print that was just a burnt toast stain
Okay so I finally went to that little gallery in Portland that everyone swears by, you know the one with the weird window displays. I saw this framed piece they called 'Latte Nocturne' and honestly it looked like a beautiful mountain scene in the fog, I dropped $42 on it without thinking. Got it home, hung it up in my kitchen, and my roommate squints at it for like 5 seconds and goes 'is that a scorch mark on a slice of sourdough?' I pulled it off the wall and yeah, it was literally a crumpled up piece of burnt toast pressed into a frame. The artist even left a tiny crumb behind the glass, which I guess is part of the joke but I didn't think it was funny. I spent an hour trying to scrub the smell of charred bread out of my apartment. Has anyone else bought something from one of those 'accidental art' pop ups and realized you paid for someone's kitchen accident instead of an actual piece?
