I totally agree.

If you want a license to do anything today- just declare yourself an artist.

Someone recently pointed out that people cutting music CD's are artists, people putting junk into speciman jars are artists, movie scriptwriters are artists, people digging holes in museums floors are artists. The only people who are still not artists these days are illustrators-yikes!

Then, once you become a holy artist everyone must allow you to do anything because creativity is sacred. I happen to think that woodworkers and florist are creative. Why are these people so well behaved? Maybe they didn't learn as art majors how important their creative impulses were.
