I believe artists should probably make pornography to whatever extent they are able at one point or another.
I mean @ChuckTingle.bsky.social is out here cranking (*pause*) 20 pages of "smut" out weekly and has 2-3 major publishers novels now. So that tracks. (Buy Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays, now in all major booksellers. *Finger guns*) (Sorry for the tag, C. Seems the . Trick doesn't work on phone?)
World’s greatest author
I was talking to cartoonist Hans Rickheit (The Squirrel Machine) at a recent little comic show in Greenfield, MA. I asked what he’d recommend and he said “People seem to like my smut!” So that’s what I got. Guy makes fun porn comics.

Haven't drawn any. Written 2 novellas though. 3 and 4 are in progress.
I write art music without lyrics (so far) and still try to abide by this conceit
At the very least, write a smutty fanfic!
It’s definitely been the best creative writing of my career, comics or prose.
Thinking about how the Vatican forced Michelangelo to paint the Sistine chapel and picturing some prominent art institution being like “you’ll never make it in the art scene until you’ve had at least 2 years of Sonic the Hedgehog hentai under your belt.”
I could never write a novel until I came up with a very horny premise. Then it wrote itself.
