filter artist

A person who takes pictures, runs them through a filter in Photoshop, and calls it their art. They generally mass-produce pictures this way without any talent whatsoever. A shame to real artists everywhere.

"Look! I took this photo of a tree and made it so it looks like I drew it! It's art! I'm awesome!"
"No, it's not. You're just a stupid filter artist."
