You know that creative commons is a thing right? Also, plenty of people -including yours truly- actually gift custom art from time to...

Wrong. There were whole movements of such as surrealism, cubism, and dadaism exploring all kinds of things. Knowing history and art...

And where is the empirical justification of using mathematics for this purpose? If there is no such empiricial justification, then...
