Something else occurred to me. Most people who identify as conservative, let alone dissident, in the US don't like artists. And I mean any kind of artist. To them art is either entertainment or decoration. Some might go for stuff like Charles Kincaid or the happy trees guy but other than that their brains just don't operate on the level of images, gestures and sounds in time. I hope things are better in England.

Thinking a bit further. (Bear with me.) NFTs are an interesting idea. Regular people are able to capture a part of the miracle of the relic by buying one without the intimidation of the art gallery, and they could be cheaper. You propose to Jeremy Clarkson, or some other non-crazy star, that you will make a series of real life objects (RLO) associated with his farm or show. Could be images of him and his co-reality associates, or the cow Pepper, or whatever you feel is appropriate. You could use Mid-Journey AI. He, or another amenable star, gets a piece of any sales that could also go to some charity for animals, the farm, etc. by turning the RLO into a jpeg NFT. Like Damien Hirst, you make some kind of gallery event as part of the buying process; maybe the star (Jeremy) shows up at an event where the buyers decide if they want the NFT or the RLO. You need to tie the NFT into the real world though. I think that's really of key importance.
