Things take [[TeleporterAccident a tragic turn after this]], alas...

Related to TrueArtIsAngsty: an unloved, lonely and depressed artist is more likely to create "true" or "compelling" art than one in a happy relationship. CreatorRecovery would be a supertrope.

And if the couple doesn’t look like they’re going to break up any time soon, the artist’s [[WithFriendsLikeThese friends]] may try to [[WeWantOurJerkBack "fix" him]] [[RelationshipSabotage themselves]].

In stories involving this trope, the ([[MostWritersAreMale usually male]]) artist in question may be in an extremely happy relationship, but his significant other functions as the opposite of TheMuse (i.e., an anti-muse). In some cases, there may be nothing wrong with this person -- in fact she may be perfectly charming and likeable -- except for the fact [[TheJinx the artist's relationship with her has somehow caused him to start producing inferior work]] or [[WritersBlock no work at all]]. In other instances, if the artist character is a musician in a band or part of some other type of creative team and his object of love causes strain with the other members and alienates fans, there can be overlap with the YokoOhNo trope. There also can be overlap with the DungeonmastersGirlfriend trope if the artist begins involving and displaying overt favoritism toward the significant other in his projects -- often to their detriment. This situation is made even worse if the other person is an untalented {{Golddigger}} who's latching on to the [[MealTicket artist]] for the purposes of gaining fame and/or money.
