Boring people create boring art.

Zelda was inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's childhood exploring caves in the countryside.

Pokemon came about from Satoshi Tajiri's love of catching bugs.

Hemingway and Tolkien's stories were shaped by war.

Your modern "artist" does none of that. They live a mediocre existence of sitting in chairs, and occasionally "travel" to sit in a different chair and stuff their face with ethnic yum-yums.
