Don't get me wrong -- the way I see it, art is anything that is a product of creative thought. The way you hang a picture on the wall could be art, if you intend it to be that way.
I was merely saying that I don't think its right to classify myself in the same area as someone like Rapheal, Picasso, etc.
I find it, as I said earlier, insulting to true artists to put myself anywhere near them. The level of thought and skill put into their works is many multitudes of levels above what I am currently functioning at.
By that same token, I think Paul Rand is a 'great.'
I was not commenting on other's right to call themselves artists, I just think that calling MYSELF one is to degrade what the word holds.
