It's been a long-standing idea of mine that the label "artist" must not be applied solely to those who paint or draw. Art is a concept so encompassing that, indeed, it would be silly to do so. Is a writer not an artist? Is a singer not? Is a sculptor not? And that's not getting into the fact that "art" means "a craft", not just "a craft which produces a result that's sensually-pleasing to most people"... I have nothing against painters or drawers (I see how goofy this word look in the context, and I present no alternative). It seems important to me to label things in a way they're due.
