Would you like a couch with that painting?

Obscurity is a way of life for Gavin Vonn Getch, a painter who works at a frame shop in a small New England town. His life changes when billionaire Gary Eastman enters his shop and becomes the ultimate patron: a lifetime commission for all his work in exchange for a crap-load of money.

Some of his artist buddies envy him and others think he's sold out. Curious as to where his paintings are being displayed, he makes a trip to the DLC headquarters, where a shocking discovery forces him to reevaluate his deal with Eastman and his identity as an artist.

Why does an artist create? What alternatives are there to completely selling out? Is there no genius-only marketing? The book is a satirical, and sometimes surreal look at the art world.

OK, I kind of went nuts.

Along with my book called Artifice, I'm including the 6 hour audio book on Wattpad. Since the book is written in first person, it made sense that I narrate the whole shebang. Instead of me doing bad versions of other character voices, I used more than 40 other voice actors to read all the other parts. But first watch the animated book trailer that was created from the audio book to get a better idea of what this project is all about. This is all in the video attached to chapter 1. The book is finished, I'll probably be posting 3 times a week for 40 chapters.

To See Me as You Do di AwkwardlyPerfect_18

"What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I continue to smile as I grab his shoulders and shake him, "C'mon, Sawyer, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie??" He shakes his head, turning away from me as he presses his tongue to inside of his mouth. Flatly, he states, "We're not doing this shit, Mari." "Yes we are!!!" I giggle as he scowls at me. Booping his nose, I ask, "You ready?!!" "No." "I'm gonna say it." "No, you're not-" "SoFISHticated." "You're a fucking idiot." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Slow Burn, Lengthy Chapters* This Story Takes Place in 2023-2024 Marianne Parker and Sawyer Cortez are complete opposites of each other. Marianne is a dad joke loving, talented musician who believes in finding the good in everything around her. Always smiling, laughing, kind to everyone, and an optimist. With a bubbly attitude and an outgoing personality, she's always looking to make a new friend. An all-around ray of sunshine. Sawyer, on the other hand, is a sarcastic, blunt, rude, and pessimistic bookworm. He doesn't believe there could be good in everything. He doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, and isn't interested in making new friends. Let alone, socializing. Hell, he BARELY tolerates his own friends. The total definition of a raincloud. Marianne's looking for a fresh start, and Sawyer wants a normal year of high school. When he meets Marianne, it becomes all too clear that there's something about her he can't ignore. From the way she walks, talks, laughs, and smiles, it's all distracting and unfamiliar to him. And, of course, he doesn't like that. In his efforts, he tries to ignore the feelings and avoid HER at all costs. But, that can be hard when the girl in question is EQUALLY interested in him too. Started August 2023 - ????

The Wrong Miracle di MedievalTomboy

"What voodoo stuff did you give me, you Bokor?" The tunnel that his loud shout created in my ears is not far from competing with Laerdal tunnel. I frowned at him and gave him a pouted angry scowl. "That is called a charm. A charm is an object that can help you with your wishes." "My wish was to win the bid for the project. Then why did my opponent win it?" Huh? His opponent won the bid. Shit! Did I mess up again? Not possible right?! Someone did win the bid so the charm did work its part. I looked at the angry handsome devilish gentleman and scratched my head awkwardly. "Your wish was to win the bid. You did not say who should win the bid. So, the charm did its magic, you cannot blame me for your incomplete explanation." Looking at the man before me, if I weren't a beautiful, adorable and an attractive girl, he would've surely stomped me a hundred feet into the ground. Too scary! Zephyra Quinn Virelle, Quirky, goofy, and always a little bit out of sync, she was a descendant of an ancient tribe, skilled in creating amulets with unexpected results. Intended to bring health, love, or fortune, she somehow always manages to give away the wrong one-creating chaos wherever she went. Despite her constant mix-ups, her warm heart and wild charm made her impossible to resist. Idris Cruz Valen, billionaire business mogul, was the definition of control and precision. He didn't believe in magic or fate-until a quirky fortune teller handed him an amulet that would change his world, whether he liked it or not. Follow the journey of a misshaping modern magical magician and ruthlessly principled business mogul, filled with chaos, a little love, a bit of fun, a great level entertainment and a lot more... chaos. ~*~*~*~*~*~

Sort of Deadly di RaghavBhatia7

*Sequel to 'Sort Of Dead'* *Kindly read the previous installment beforehand* ~ "You know the feeling when you see a glass jar filled with perfectly round, colorful marbles, and you just want to put one - or two, or three - in your mouth, even though you know it's dangerous and can kill you? Right. Hold that thought. We'll come back to it." _______________________________________ Not all dreams terminate when you wake up. Some last longer. And some can take over your reality. After the party's victorious return to {Undisclosed}, it takes them a while to coze up to their silly, mundane lives. The sail's smooth . . . at least until Bee starts having those awful nightmares. Those very REAL nightmares. The bookworm finds herself in such a fix - oh, boy, wait for this - that she can't think a way out of it. She's pretty certain she's going to die. It's her friends that she is more worried about. --Have fun! All of your favorite characters are back in this one, and then some! Laugh and sob and cheer them on! #completed { Awesome cover by @jaszthewayyoulikeit } Pst scrpt: I know this blurb sucks. ***All rights reserved: Do not recreate or plagiarise.

The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'. I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling. Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out. Great, now he's coming over. Kill me. *** • Highest rankings: #1 in Modeling - #1 in Awkward - #3 in Humor.

[Editing] Creepypasta Boyfriend Scenarios di Climax_Together

THIS BOOK IS UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION, CHARACTERS ARE BEING REMOVED WHILE OTHERS ARE BEING ADDED IN. MASSIVE CHANGES ARE IN STORE FOR EACH CP SO ALL APOLOGIES FOR THE MESS IT'LL BE FOR A FEW MONTHS!!! OR POSSIBLY FOREVER BECAUSE I'M LAZY AF. Additionally, I understand that Masky and Hoody aren't creepypastas. I began this book before I was aware of the fatal error, however I will keep these guys in, due to the fact that many of you adore the duo. Greetings, this was a book I started in late 2013 when I was amateur of writing, so I apologise for the ridiculousness of this book. I'm personally not a fan girl of Creepypasta, that's a bit much for me. However, this was a way for me to interact with others and get a feel of writing so hopefully you guys enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it! :) This includes: Jeff the Killer, BEN Drowned, Slenderman, Eyeless Jack, Masky, Hoody, Lost Silver, Glitchy Red, Laughing Jack, Dark Link, Ticci Toby, Dr Smiley, Homicidal Liu, The Bloody Painter, and Lord Zalgo Also thank you to Canva.com for helping me create this cover, as well as Pixabay.com for the image! ~Enjoy ♥

Three Little Boys di JohnWay1977

Doug Morrell: playboy, secret agent and saviour of the human race. And he's only fifteen years old. And he's not really any of those. The teenage years are difficult enough to navigate for most children, but troubled Doug's tried and tested method is simply to retreat into his weird and twisted 'fantasy world' when the pressure of life gets too much. And, now that he's started his - third - senior school in as many years, nothing is on his mind more than escaping this 'correctional facility' he's found himself incarcerated in - unless of course he can woo Allison Barnes - the most popular girl in his class. He knows that the two of them are destined to be together forever, even if the last 'popular' girl in his old school didn't see it that way (and the one before her). So join Doug as he tries to finish his GCSE years on a high while attending the school his younger - and definitely not more likeable or talented - brother, Dave, also attends. An ordinary secondary comprehensive in outer London is about to become the setting for Doug's super-spy alter-ego 'Doug Holster' to save the girl and undertake the ultimate battle between Good and Evil (in other words whether he can actually get Allison to talk to him without giggling while coming up with a believable excuse for not playing football at break times with the other boys).

🥊 Hate or Fate 💕 {Enemies to Lovers} di WhiskeySeattle

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

That night...✓ di dara_symi

"So?" He looked confused. "She's y- your-" I gulped. "My what Aurora?!" He exclaimed angrily. I jumped. "Don't raise your voice at me! She's your daughter! The one night stand created her!" I yelled but not loud enough for any one else to hear. "What the-" he paused and looked at Ivory. I watched him silently. He turned to me again. "Would you say something?" I asked getting nervous. "What do you want me to fucking say?" He asked. "I don't know....." I trailed off. Humans make mistakes..... right? Yes, so therefore three people made mistakes that night. Logan made the first mistake. He cheated on Aurora. Aurora made the next mistake. She drank to forget the mistake Logan made. Ethan, the school's bad boy made the last mistake. He slept with Aurora without a condom. You know what that means yea? You're right, a baby comes. Ivory comes. (Baby gender revealed 😑) Aurora didn't tell the bad boy she was pregnant for him. But now she has the baby and she has to tell him right? I mean it's the only sane thing to do DNA is one of the solutions of course but not when the child looks exactly like Ethan. 😉. The bad boy is obviously not the most sociable person so it wasn't easy of course. For heaven's sake he doesn't even know this girl. But y'all agree that it's not easy to remember a one night stand when you've had many? Well....he remembered actually. Let's get into the story peeps!!!! See you there 😊

A Player's Game di Alexisss1212

"Why do you care if I kiss other girls? We're not together, we're friends" he stated swallowing his emotions. "You're right, why should I care? Like you said we're friends" I got more angry with each word that came out of my mouth. "You know what? Go makeout with any girl you want, I don't care" I said as I started to walk away. I felt his hand grip my wrist and pull me back against the lockers. His hands cupped my face and the next thing I know his lips were smashed up against mine. *********************************************************************************************************Stella Jones didn't believe in love, only lust. After one guy broke her heart, she swore to never fall for someone again until she graduates, she was done with high school boys. She's kept her promise to herself until a new guy starts at her school, Logan Carter, but does he have a promise too? Will he get her to live her life? Will she break her promise? Will he break his?

My Quirky Love di Imisshoe

This book can be read as a stand alone Greyson Blake Rosen-Hower Who doesn't know that name? Everyone with a pulse knows his family. He's blessed with his father's devilish looks and cunning mind. He's already on top of the corporate ladder at a young age without any effort. He also inherits his mother's pure heart. Well, if you dig deeper, I mean more more deeper like Mariana's trench deep. I swear you'll find it. Sunshine McBright is the epitome of happiness and positive energy. Even her name says it all. She's simple minded and detached from reality most of the time. Trying to be happy and making others happy while you are experiencing hardship was so hard but she'd rather die trying than not. They met in a strange way and she captivated Greyson with her quirkiness. Like his father, Greyson believes at love at first sight. They are opposites in every way but Greyson will do anything to leap that gap between them and make Sunshine his. Forever. -excerpt- I was sitting quietly in the middle of Central Park when suddenly a flower appeared on my vision. I looked up and saw a redhead smiling widely at me. My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home? Another amazing cover from @Regina_Anais!
