The world can never have too much art in it.

Art in every form you can imagine brings color, passion, imagination, inspiration, and joy into the world like nothing else can. Whatever the art is — painting, sculpture, novel, song, meal, video — the world deserves it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for science, technology, engineering, and math. Without these, progress lags and we don’t grow, evolve, and get collectively better.

Why else would non-progressives ban books, art, music, and anything they disagree with? Because it’s the truth they strive to avoid. What other reason is there if not to prevent growth and evolution?

The point is, whenever the question is “Should I make art?” the answer is always YES. Please, make and share your art with the world, whatever it is.

Why?

Sharing what you create needn’t be selling or broad

When you create art, it doesn’t matter if you’re a pro or an amateur. The act of creating art is an act of bringing something into the world that makes it more than it already is.

Sharing your art doesn’t mean you need to sell it. Nor does it mean you need to spread…
