As someone who had a fanart piece made for them years ago, I can say that it's been my desktop background for over four years and I'm still not tired of it. The fence has to be painted again after a couple of years, but that fanart is perfect, as far as I'm concerned.

That said, I won the commission during a fandom charity auction, and I wouldn't actually commmission a fan artist to draw me a picture. Charity is one thing, but when I buy a painting, I want the physical thing I can hang up on my walls.

I highly value fan art that people have given me as gifts over the years too -- because they're gifts. It's the lovely sentiments that I treasure.

I think it's exactly because I just can't see fan art as a physical commodity like a painting that I can never imagine buying any. Fandom is full of beautiful art from talented people who do it all out of nothing but love, and I've always found that even if you really want to see art of some particular thing, there are alternative ways to make it happen. I used to trade fic-for-art and run exchanges in a rare pair community for this exact purpose -- to encourage more fanwork of something obscure.
