I don't think it's a single point to arrive at, so much as a sliding scale that's measured in relation to something else.  For instance, I'm more artistic (have better technical skills) in digital design and clay sculpting than many people, but there are also thousands that display a greater level of artistry than me.  In cooking I have no artistic skills whatsoever (I can mangle a peanut butter sandwich), but I've witnessed people create magic on their stovetops.   I don't think the question is really when do you "become" artistic -- it's a matter of becoming MORE artistic in whatever you pursue.  The concept of “artistic” is more about the execution of the technical skills.

I don’t think the question is really when do you “become” artistic — it’s a matter of becoming MORE artistic in whatever you pursue.

Have I ever told you how much I love your blog. It definitely causes one to see things in a different perspective. This is a good thing.... yes? Chat with you later.
