The Picasso Defense

When bad visual artists (the illustrative kind) drop Pablo Picasso's name in the middle of a discussion to defend their lack of skill. The defense is usually made after people suggest problem areas the artists may want to work on- especially anatomy- and typically comes coupled with a phrase like "it's my style." Think of it like Godwin's Law, but for artists.
Artist A: You have some problems with proportions and either draw hands backwards or hide them in characters' pockets/behind their backs. I suggest studying from real people for a while, and even though it sucks, try not to hide them as much. You won't get better at drawing hands if you avoid them. The rest of your stuff looks really good, though. I like the way you shade hair. Great work!

Artist B: Fuck you motherfucker. You think you can tell me what to fucking do?! Did you think for a second that maybe there's nothing wrong with my anatomy? Maybe you're fucking blind but people mess with proportions ALL THE TIME. Not everyone draws realism you dumb shit. My styles just different from what you think is PERFECT AND SUPER WONDERFUL DESU! Pablo Picasso's anatomy wasn't perfect either. He drew ugly abstract shit all the time. Why aren't you complaining about how fucked up HIS anatomy was, huh?! HUH?!!! GO FUCK YOURSELF!!

Artist A: Pablo Picasso mastered realism when he was a teenager. He didn't make abstract things because he didn't know how to draw people. He drew them that way purposely after learning anatomy. You have to know the rules before you can break them. Stop using the Picasso defense to justify your flaws. Backwards thumbs and hiding hands isn't a style.

Puzas

Could be considered the greatest last name in all of Lithuania. People with last name of 'Puzas' are generally emotional and can sometimes lean to the darker side of themselves. Could also be 'tainted' with an acute form of gayness, but then again, everyone is alittle gay, right?
Andora 'Puzas' is amazing.

Picasso's paintbrush

When a man and his woman are having sex with a Johnnie on and the man ejaculates he that carefully removes the rubber from his pinis. He then gets the girl to excrete into it and ties it up. He then proceeds to place it in the microwave for about 30 seconds on a low heat. Once it is warm and soft like a fresh brownie, he takes it out and slaps the girl with it back and fourth til it explodes on her face. Thus this paintbrush has created abstract art
Gerald: yo hombre what did you just get up to last night
Edgar: ah nothing much blad just painting with the Mrs.
Gerald: was it abstract?
Edgar: let's just say I used my trusty Picasso's paintbrush.
