    Artists are a very broad group that doesn’t have a specific definition.

    I mean, is someone doodling on their notebook an artist? They are creating handmade art, are they not?

    Creating art is something intrinsically human. Capitalism has destroyed that. Now unless you have skill that you can monetize, you aren’t an artist. When it used to be that anyone who created art, no matter how bad, was an artist.

      Okay, and?

      I can tell you who’s definitely not an artist: the person who tells others to create their idea. They’re a client.
