Being A collector of your friends’ art

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

giving yr art to friends

One thing i’ve learned to love about ceramics and craft is learning by doing. this wall altar’s form was a recreation of another artists work so this altar is only fit for gifting. I’m so lucky i have friends who will take pretty pictures of my work :,)

My best friend consoling me age 3

Turns out I had appendicitis. Her genuine concern…like it’s equally touching. Ruby is still very much in my life unlike my appendix..

Expectations are so intangible, and judgement so abundant, that it’s almost become easier to say “I am not” than “I am”. Positivity has become a sign of vulnerability in many ways in today’s internet zeitgeist, it‘s rarity being clearly identified by the creation of this app. The negativity that has spread rampant throughout our internet has seemingly proven to many that if they are not part of the rejection, they will be the rejected! An equally sad and scary thought! This app is so miraculous to me in many ways. The positivity makes it whole. A lot of us probably feel pretty defensive of this quality due to some of the same principles of community that influence the phenomenons I’ve mentioned above.  Anyone can come here and post words and phrases and photos and links and to the vast majority of us the purpose is clear. All the while, it is in the nature of people, good or great ones even, to expel negativity which festers inside :( ! This will happen, but my fellow PI.FYI-ers, what we pay attention to grows! Some good, or great people even, have a hard time identifying these tendencies which do contribute to the spread of negativity into foundationally positive spaces, and their impact in the grand scheme. As a community of lovers of things, I think it’s healthy and only right to continue to kindly remind each other why we have all found ourselves drawn to this platform. Let’s only say fuck off to the evil ones, let’s banish them to Elon Musk’s X, and let’s welcome all the rest to the brilliance of recommending good stuff to good strangers online. I hope to do this for a while :)  

Using this app for its intended purpose
