I am an Artist. You might think an Artist paints pretty pictures or plays a great drum beat. I do paint pretty pictures. However, to me, being an artist is to carry out every task with all the energy that you posses at the moment of execution. I believe it is the love, the sincerity, and the hard work that is poured into painting pretty pictures, writing a novel, or running a business that makes the act, and the product of the act, Art. And hence, the one who carries it out, an Artist.
