Just wait until this happens and it's not an artist who did it. Everyone here saying it's no big deal will do a 180. It's not his intent but his actions.

Define "artist."

Best I can tell it's "someone who who declares 'I am an artist!'"

I don't have a problem with that, but I am skeptical of people trying to excuse arbitrary behavior by hiding behind "But it's art."
