I came across a list of ‘You must be an artist if….…’ on www.painting.about.com/ and have adapted it. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
You must be an artist if:
- You’re often late because you suddenly know exactly what that detail of your latest painting/sewing/writing/jewelry piece needed and just had to fix it while it was fresh in your mind.
- You stay awake late at night thinking about your latest project.
- You explain your bad housekeeping by saying, "it's a work-in-progress..."
- The only piece of new furniture you have in your home is an easel/sewing machine/kiln.
- You have no health insurance.
- You do judge a book by its cover.
- You watch the latest kids' digital animation movies and drool over the effects as much as the story.
- You buy art supplies instead of food.
- You create more than you talk.
- You're in love ... with your studio.
Johnny Depp in his satin little boy blue outfit was freakin a few people out...so i've replaced it with Depp as General E Lee, it's better although not looking as good as he would if he'd been dressed as Adam! Pic also from http://www.worth1000.com/

Very true! (And that is a lovely portrait of Mr Depp indeed... :))
Hey Chrisy! How do u know me so well??
oh yeah! I'm an artist :)
love this list Chrisy and welcome to 'blogdom' :)
Nice blog! Love Johnny Depp!
Totally!
I'm someone who struggles to think of myself as an artist, but after having read this list & relating to it so much, I totally believe that I am an artist after all ;D
Great blog Chrisy! Love the idea of you showcasing indie writers too! Not enough of that happening in the world. Yay you!
Yeah that confirms it then! I agree with all the comments in the list except for the housework one. I'm the only one in the family who doesn't seem to notice my house is in a mess, so no explanations needed ;)
Love your new blog, congrats on losing your blog virginity!
After reading your list, I am convinced I must be the Da Vinci of the sewing world. Fabric before food every time!
Congratulations on a great blog - I look forward to more gems.
OMG so ture (except number 7 ... i still don't really dig pixar films I am more your classic snob Breaky at Tiffs kinda girl) ... i Laughed my proverbial donkey off reading that
Holy cow, I'm an artist!!!! Whooda thunk it!!!
And I'm sorry I just can't agree with everyone on that Johnny Depp painting.....eeewwww, that is creeping me out!!!! :O
Hi Chrisy,
Thanks for your lovely comment over on my blog— you made my day. Good luck with yours, and welcome to blogland!
I like your 'You Must Be An Artist If...' list. It's great :)
hahaha love that list, so, so true!
I love Mr Depp, I can drool over him no matter what he looks like!
11. There isn't a room in the house devoid of art supplies/beads/fabric (fill in your obsession)!
Thank goodness The Husband carries the health insurance.
Love your blog!
Hmm... yeah I'm not such a fan of the Johnny painting either! I love Johnny, but not in blue silk.
yeah, I have no health insurance, but I have art supplies stuffed in every nook and cranny my house has! :D
I can so relate! Thanks for the grin.
That's me to a "t". I love a good laugh.
great list, I could probably tick off a few of those :)
Thanks for the encouragement.
I guess I must be an artist then (even if it's not ALL relevant - 3, 5 & 7 for me). It certainaly explains the way I am!
Yes, i agree with your blog stuff. I also want become a artist and painting is one of the my favorite hobby. Your blog is really very interesting.
