- Suggestion Title: Job addition (or change) with ArtMap plugin install (post 1.13.2 update)
- Elaborate (Why do you think it should be added, how will it improve the server, etc.): While trying to go for the "Writer" position, one of the members here mentioned how "useless" or foolish it was to try for; the job is limited to writing books, notes, articles etc that a significant number of users on the site will never view/buy. If Writer is a worthless position, I propose changing it to 'Fine Art', with the implementation of other forms of fine arts (Painting/Sculpting, Theater, etc.), or simply creating a new role called Artist and implementing ArtMap.
For those of you who've not tried it, ArtMap is similar to the site's current Sketchmap like plugin which allows artwork to be made by any and all individuals on a server. Unlike Sketchmap (like plugin), everything is designed within the game, not as an image that is uploaded. Regular Items become paints, paint buckets, brushes, easels, etc. boosting the economy and shop options. Users who create these works of art can choose to hang them in their own homes, sell unique versions to others for buildings/offices/lobbies/homes/etc. or create multiple copies to distribute at shops or art gallerias. Cities could even use it for roadsigns, billboards, business names, or building names. Could also be used for future events.

- Does this require the installation of a new plugin (Yes/No): Yes
- If you answered Yes on the previous question, please link the plugin (Leave blank if you answered No): Artmap created by the original owner only goes to 1.12. The code is open source and others have taken it to 1.13.2 via https://gitlab.com/BlockStack/ArtMap.
