*Maybe I can tack Photoshop Clone Technician, Tablet and Stylus Operator and Multiple Masking Layer Consultant on there too. :)*

An artist doesn't need to list thier tools (a painter doesn't need to say "Brush Specialist"). How about if I downloaded images from the web and resaved them as NEW jpegs in Photoshop? Does that make me an artist??? I mean, I used Photoshop.

I think the issue I was trying to make was, there's got to be a difference between a "person creating art on a computer" and an "artist working on a computer".

A kid who's practicing boxing after school and Lennox Lewis aren't in the same league either, but they're both boxers

This may be true, but if I own a pair of boxing gloves, does that make me a boxer? Those are the people I'm talking about, the ones who claim to be something because they own the tools. How many of you know someone who thinks they're a computer whiz, but they can barely even turn on thier system?

Having fun with a CG art program and sharing the results.

I've attached a pencil drawing I did over 10 years ago...I think they look pretty good considering I didn't have a computer.
