Inspired by my imminent desire for floras rabbit print, but very seriously:
I think one of my small but important life goals is to establish a formidable collection of art made by my friends and peers, because (a) when they all become famous I will be very rich, (b) it is so much more interesting to populate your walls with physical artifacts of your community than some random posters (though I do love a good random poster), and (c) i think it is harder in the digital age to materially support the physical arts in the same ways we are used to supporting like, musicians - the culture of going to see your friends bands, or buying your friends band merch, is harder to carry over to seeing your friends paintings or sculptures, i think. So I think it is important to try and do so whenever possible. I am trying to channel my inner medieval artistic patron, with whatever pittance of funds I have on hand.
In conclusion:
Make your friends sell you their art
Commission art from your friends as if you are a feudal lord commissioning a portrait of your lover
Hang that shit in your house

once you have to do art for a living, you'll have to force yourself to do it even when you feel like shit, unmotivated and uninspired and man that really sucks the fun out of it.
unless you're already really talented artist with strong confidence in your skills and you know you'll find interesting work easily. then maybe.
if not, trust me, keep it as an enjoyable hobby for now
