I realise this has been asked a million times before, but i was wondering. In my own case i cannot draw, paint or produce an image by any 'manual' means known to man (or woman). I do not say this for effect or to elicit protestations of 'oh, you're not that bad' or similar. I really am rubbish. So can you imagine my delight when i discovered that i could create 'art' with a computer? I am finally able to produce something that appeals to me (i believe you should always create artistic work for yourself - never try to create something that you believe others may want/enjoy). So i wonder - am i an artist? The point is: if someone who is clearly talented artistically and who has obvious technical abilities way above mine produces a picture that i do not like, ...

This reminds me of my days in a fine arts school where the common question was similar... What is art? It is easier to answer who is art. Art is the guy down the hall from me. An artist (to me) is someone or something that creates something we can hear, feel, touch or see, that captures our imagination and creates an emotion. A chef can be an artist, so can an architect. An artist 'needs' to create.. is drawn to the tools they use to purge the imagery, music, songs, poetry from their minds. - posted by

Art doesn't have to be visual, it can appear in any forms that stimulate our senses, like music. Artist is person who can stimulate peoples senses or mind by expressing his emotions or ideas. It doesn't matter via which form he does it. Everyone is an artist. :) - posted by

What a great question! Really made me think. To me, an artist is someone who can take a thought or idea that he/she visualizes and reproduce that visual image from their thoughts onto a physical medium that others may share and appreciate. In your case, I think you do a wonderful job of achieving the transfer of some really great ideas to truly artistic images. Great backgrounds in your portfolio too. The one you posted is my favorite along with Newtons Cradle. Though you may think you have no artistic abilities, you do have "The eye of the artist" - posted by

Hi, sorry for tardy response but i have been busy the last week. I was disappointed with the response to the blog. I naively expected a few 'entries' for consideration - but got nada. When i have time, i will follow your advise and look around for a worthy cause. I now see i have 2 credits! lol. Guess they must award them for passing each century or whatever.... thanks again for your comments - posted by

Hi, someone posted in another blog, that it might be nice to download an image from a newbie, I thought that was a great idea, I remember getting my first download and how great it felt, would be nice to give that feeling to someone else. I too have a credit to spend, so I think I will go find a newbie with no DLs and hope I make his or her day a little better. - posted by
