Although I draw, paint, and create digital art as well as design, I find it insulting to true artists to call myself one.
I look at the works of the greats and even the not-so-greats and my intellectual capacity concerning art is so miniscule by comparison that it feels a bit like a child saying 'I'm not little.'
That is not to say design cannot be art, because if you look at the two disciplines, many of the same processes are done -- designers just define theirs a little more.
