I thought the little girl looked so sad. She did have a bit of cuteness about her, which the artist could have emphasized, rather than making her look like an angry 40-year-old. ---

Sad? She looked pissed. Iā€™m pretty sure she was thinking ā€œthis is crappy street artist #7 that Iā€™ve tried today. If he draws another frakkinā€™ fairy princess, Iā€™m gonna go postalā€. ---

Iā€™m surprised by how many respondents were troubled/saddened by this pic. Iā€™m usually a bleeding heart but this one didnā€™t trip any wire. The kid is _glowering_, and I imagined the picture taker to be an amused parent rather than a cruel prankster. Maybe I read this wrong. ---
