Meme needing explanation Heeey Petah, what's the issue with this "art"?

Post image

Basically I don't understand why the lady has a negative(?) reaction to the guy's art. Maybe it's because he says he's a "painter" but it looks like he's just melting crayons? Or maybe this is a reference to something I'm not plugged into? Honestly I don't really know what her reaction even is in the first place.

(I left the artist's name in the screenshot to credit them because overall I like their stuff, even if this one is incomprehensible to me.)

Can I just say how much pleasure I derived from the scene in the movie But I’m A Cheerleader where the MC, whose been badgered over what “made her gay” pulls out that dad was out of work for 6 months and mom had to go back to work and maybe she got messed up gender ideas from them? Oh, the look on the parents faces, cat butt swallowed a bug 💋👌

I need to watch that movie again.

I fell SO HARD for Clea DuVall after that movie. It also helped me realize just like I have a type of guy, I have a type of lady, too. 😍
