I definitely agree with the idea that an "artist" is an undefinable as "art." However, something that occured to me while reading this was that I used the word creative as a lever here. For me, there's creative art and there's art. A well constructed bridge with all of its supports and girders is "art", even if it was constructed from plans drawn up years before and merely copied in this manifestation. "Creative art," the kind I truly enjoy, is art which was created creatively (tongue twister)-- that person's unique ability shows through. Shakespeare, then, was clearly a creative artist.. I can "feel" his creative influence. Someone who translates Shakeseare to French, to me, is merely an artist.

And uh... that's all I got.

I'd consider myself an artist.
