I wasn't trying to troll this, I simply meant to point out that it would appear as negligible.

Art is either for its enjoyment or as an investment.  Surely, the vast majority of bitcoin users will spend some of it to stimulate the bitcoin economy but will hold their bulk sum if possible - using it as a tool for micropayments such as coffee or paywalls on the internet might become more mainstream, but spending vast sums of btc on artwork seems less likely than spending the equivalent sums of money on said artwork.  I could very well be mistaken, this can be proven if Fineartfinancial has artwork and is willing to sell it through his traditional means (wether it be through an ecommerce website, or ebay, or craigslist) then he should ALSO mention that his artwork is sold for bitcoin as well.
