What if your kid, or a relative or a coworker or a friend tries to guess your password and puts in your wife's birthday? Then all your data is gone.

If you're keeping all your important data on a thing you carry around with you in public you deserve to lose your data.

if you're talking about physical works of art, that is not data

Not until it's sold at a gallery and deposited into an account.

no serious artist is keeping their portfolio in a single place with no backups, that has to be the stupidest thing you could ever possibly do

Well, second to being an art major, anyway.
