What makes it accessible?

I would think a pencil and paper is much more accessible than a thousand dollar phone or computer.

[edit] Is it that people with hand tremors can type instead of draw?

In the west, education and time are less accessible than electronics. It’s, unfortunately, that simple. There are arguments to be made elsewhere and elsewhen, but that is the current state of things.

Oh.

In that case, I don't think this is an accessibility I respect.

Skill in any medium is accessible only to those who have been educated in that skill. I get that it's expensive, but that is unfortunately just how attribution works.

I'm not interested in the musings of a philosopher whose philosophy is written for them. I'm not interested in the artistic expression of someone whose expression is decided for them. Your ideas have to come from you.

If someone wants a colorful backdrop to something else they're doing, then images are more accessible, but art is not.

It sounds like you’re agreeing with my original comment, in that case.

I did just re-read it, and yes, kind of.

I guess I just disagree with what it should be called.
