If you subscribe to hashtags for your interests from a Pixelfed account I'm sure you will find artists and art that you like. There are some wonderful artists on the Fediverse and it's how I find most of the artists and art that I like these days.
Some that I particularly like right now:
-
@rmiddleton.art@pixelfed.art - abstract expressionism
-
@humanum@mastodon.art - digital watercolour 'bio-fantasy'
-
@atomicker@mstdn.ca - 1900s Japanese Shin-hanga prints from various artists
I sometimes see artists offering prints but I'm sure most artists would be approachable about making them for you if you'd like to buy one.
One of my BlueSky accounts I use for what you're missing. Follow artist starterpacks to get started faster, the AI and Politics mass block lists too, and avoid Catch Up like the American doomer plague it is. "Show less of this" everything political/not the account's focus in your Discover feed. Block them first when you have the patience to do this tedious task. After awhile all you'll see is artists/indie. Disable risque/adult content default-on blocks as desired.
Takes a bit of work, but this has been nice.
Another good resource is https://www.newgrounds.com/art
Is Newgrounds a diminished community? Yes. Is it still active? Also yes. Had a bit of a artist population boost around when the exodus to BlueSky from Xhitter was going on too.
For some recency bias specifics:
I'm rather into Montreal Canadian u m a m i. Their shop is here: https://umamimerch.com/ I have a few of their prints on my walls haha. See their youtube channel for context. Short films and he also makes music. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqrrxZeeFSNCjGmD-33SKMw/videos

Quite a lot of comic book artists have side gigs producing commission pieces. Unfortunately, most of these are outside MY budget, but you do you! :)
