I have oil paintings hidden in the shed, attic, my parents home, and paintings given away for gifts. So yes i'm a painter. But i'm not doing it for PROFIT unfortunately....

I see people doing it for PROFIT. but I usually give mine away.

EDIT - I don't have a good business-head. I suck at it. like making money for creativity. I am always giving my stuff/creativity away.

lol I know exactly what ur talking about, on top of my art, I fix stuff for people for free, I'm pretty good at most stuff and am a wiz with reverse engineering, if I can take it apart I can figure out how it works, fix it, and put it back together, and am always doing this for free never asking for anything, sometimes it gets to be a bit much, but my lady always says I need to put my skills to work n use em to make money but it never really interests me to make money, even though sadly it's a necessity to live...

i can't really imagine how people can go without... it's like a drug to me, I literally crave it sometimes and sometimes I just crave shading lol but I have to let it out or I'll burst, I don't understand how it's even possible to not lol my life would feel so empty without it

art is such a broad array though .........

Believe it or not, for many people, "art", in the traditional sense of the word, usually refers to paintings and sculpture but...., you're right art is a broad term.

I will just say this....
Politics is the art of making an ass of yourself.
