I like this idea a lot. I’ve been playing with the idea of writing a bildungsroman around some of my insights into personal development, which of course touches on topics related to EA and rationality, so I’m quite fond of seeing others do this as well.
What’s worth noting is that I haven’t done it because I’m constantly pulled by other things that seem higher priority. This is maybe the big challenge for making more EA art: its comparative benefit. I’m tempted to say “maybe there will be more time for EA art when EA is bigger”, but if that’s the case it’s a chicken-and-egg problem because EA art seems to be a great way to grow the movement.
So on the whole my guess is we can’t directly go for EA art beyond making sure folks in the community are more aware that it’s a thing they could maybe do so that on the margin we might get more EA art replacing EA-relevant art that would have otherwise been produced.
