Bill Zeman is an artist who shares a blog with his 4-year-old daughter. He sketches his art, displays it to his not-so-sweet little girl. She usually goes on about how horrible it is, and Zeman then posts his art with the art commentary beside it on his ‘Tiny Art Director’ blog. Some works are accepted, while the majority are brutally rejected.
Comments like "Stupid ugly angry monkey. I hate him," "I’m sorry to say that you’re worser than me," and What’s he going to do to that bird? Is he going to eat him? That’s not what I want. You have to do it with him killing that bird," she will surely prove to be a difficult wife for someone in the future.
