Wow, such a sad article written by an artist. When was the last time you saved for months so you could own a one-of-a-kind piece—something made by a person, with a body, a history, and a point of view—instead of another interchangeable object stamped out by the thousands? FUCK those people who care about others wellbeing but didn’t spend their hard earned saving on arts, amirite? And i bet majority of people here can say “just last week” because videogame is art. This basically saying you shouldn’t care about others if you don’t directly helping them. Since we cannot directly involved on helping palestinian other than protest and boycott, fuck them, amirite? I rarely use this comic but i feels like it fit so well here This article definitely need a rewrite.

I’m fortunate that nearly all of my close friends own something I’ve made. But online? In comment sections? In all the loud posturing about the impending AI takeover? I keep coming back to the same question: When was the last time you bought something directly from an artist? While I understand the sentiment I think focusing the buy to be directly from an artist is a bit weird. Does me visiting the local theatre not count? Does me buying a vinyl with music not count (none of my musician friends has the tools to make vinyls, that’s for sure)? Does me buying an older oil painting from the local auction not count? Does me buying a 4k UHD movie not count? Do I not support an artist when I buy the poster they designed as a commission from the company that sold it? (Kirsten Tinds posters of edible plants and berries and so on sold through Koustrup & Co. are gorgeous: www.kirstentind.dk/Plakater_og_Kortmapper.html)

What the fuck are you doing about it—other than complaining? He complained while doing nothing about it. What an idiot! 🤮

When was the last time you bought art? Um, I’m disabled and impoverished. I’ve relied on piracy all my life.
