Artist, not really, my wife is an artist, she can draw and, when she was younger, had some works published in some small sci-fi/fantasy rags. She doesn’t do it much anymore, which always makes me sad. She has real talent.
As for me, I have a passable singing voice, can strum some chords and knock my way around a bass. I played trumpet as a kid and can read music, not great with bass clef though. So, I can fumble about on a piano, but best to limit my left hand to dead simple chords.
I can draw a little, I’m not bad, but I’m not great.
So, no, I’m not really an artist.
This wide range of skill in many areas and lack of expertise in any of them use to bother me some.
If something simple breaks on my car, I can usually figure out how to fix it, but I’m probably not going to do an engine rebuild any time soon.
I can ride a motorcycle and shoot a gun. I can do a little bit of a lot of different things. I look around at the people who are masters of their craft and I am envious, then I look at other people who can’t do jack and realize I can do quite a bit.
Oh, and I can make a pretty drinkable beer…so there! :P
