I like the definition of artist being able to present their idea to other people.

I also agree that it is largely subjective.

I think an artist is someone with a vision... an interpretation that they want to show and they use whatever mediums they can in order to show it. It is usually emotionally based, in my opinion. Art is created to evoke something. A feeling, an emotion. It can be awe, pain, regret, joy. But it is generally meant to evoke.

If you draw, doodle, or make t-shirts as a hobby, because it is fun it isn't necessarily 'art'. But it isn't necessarily 'not art' either. Does it evoke humor? Do they express a feeling about a particular topic? I think it's very possible.

I wouldn't mind being an artist. I want to be an artist of words. A writer. Yeah, yeah, everyone wants to be a writer these days. But I sit down to write, and there is nothing there. I don't think I have enough to say yet. But when I have something to say, I hope that I'll be able to write it.
