Short version: A moron
Long version: Someone who believes that "creativity" and "individuality" is the highest point which man can achieve, despite the fact that they provide no valuable service or advancement to society as a whole. They are little more than entertainers who have the gall to say that they are more important because they find "meaning in everything." Usually imbibe mass quantities of drugs. Often despise scientists for being too "shallow" or "narrow minded."

Scientist, dragged to art museum by a group of well meaning friends: "I see no point in this. It's a bunch of liquid pigments splashed randomly onto a large canvas."
Artist: "But, can you not see the passion infused into the painting? The inherent desire to escape conformity through abstract expression?"
Scientist: "No... and if this is escaping conformity, then why are there 20 more of these, all by different people?"
Artist: "Uhh... SHUT UP! YOU'RE SHALLOW AND NARROW MINDED! YOU'RE JUST A SERVANT OF THE MAN!"

Get the Artistmug. Iam "It is funny seeing people quote the 'You get what you deserve' line though. Imagine that. You write something publicly and don't even think about it. You don't think it's good or even that anyone will even care. 2 years goes by and your pirating a movie (because why would I pay for something that is probably going to suck) and you get to the climax. You start to hear yourself as it builds to the climax and you think yourself 'Wha... What's going on? That sounds like me'. And he gets to that last line BANG! 'OH.... Shit... That is me...'. and everyone fucking LOVES it. Some people quote that line in every other post they make. And, in hindsight, the compulsive laughter reflects the compulsive nature of sexuality (that I also talked about) and his imaginary girlfriend reflects the 'romanticized ideation' I talked about. He even followed the Robert De Niro/Samuel L. Jackson rule I wrote about. Un-fucking-believable. The life of an artist is bittersweet."

Get the Artistmug. One who has the ability to transfer life onto any surface by the magic of brain/eye to hand coordination.
Those who can paint realistically or not are artists for they transfer life onto a surface such as paper or canvas.

Get the artistmug. An incredibly talented person who dedicates the time and hard work to creating a beautiful work of art, be it a sculpture, music, literature, or a painting.
This person has dedicated years of work to mastering his craft, and deserve as much credit as any other professional in a field. They generally have a higher level of creativity and imagination.
Contrary to stereotypical belief, they do not have to forego an education or be on drugs to be an artist.

Lynda marveled at the sculptors skill as she gazed at the realistic deer, soldered out of pieces of scrap metal.
Dr. Smith was quite surprised and blushed when he realized that the artist he had been talking down to was also a doctor.
Ralph, an aspiring artist, worked long and hard on his painting and was proud of the result.
