The reason you don't see "Artless" is because the "-less" part of "Tasteless" has less identity than "Taste-". There are plenty of words that end with the "-less" postfix whereas there's only a handful of words that start with "Taste-" and all of them are derived from same word.

The same thing could be said about using "-tosis" instead of "Art-". The "-tosis" part of his nickname has a lot more identity. If someone were to say "art" to you out of the blue, you probably wouldn't be reminded of "Artosis" in any way. However, you're probably more likely to think of "Artosis" if someone were to say "tosis".

"Tastosis" has much stronger identity of the two nicknames it combines than "Artless" does, even though "Artless" might be funnier. That's why "Tastosis" has become the name-combination that is in popular use.
